Yes, what Uri describes is not accurate to what Alaudinov actually says, but Alaudinov is part of the Russian propaganda network so what he says has to be taken with a great degree of salt. I'm certainly not aware of any public policy Ukraine has like Israel's "Hannibal Directive" (which is only used in extreme circumstances).
Russia Ukraine war live: UK rejects Putin spy claims as Starmer prepares to meet Biden in Washington

Most analysts (British MOD, ISW etc) conclude that it wouldn't make much difference in the war, Putin isn't going to change course. It's reported that Russia has moved or will move all the targets Ukraine was talking about away from range anyway, since everything has all been so beautifully choreographed publicly...
Firstly they can't move everything back, loads of heavy industry in the border region which isn't as easy to move back as it was in WW2 (and a massive loss of face for Putler) and they don't have western lend-lease aid to buffer their industry while they move.

Many western leaders, even the ones pro-Ukraine, can't wait to welcome the terrorist state back into the international family and make great deals with them
Absolutely, have no doubt..Many western leaders, even the ones pro-Ukraine, can't wait to welcome the terrorist state back into the international family and make great deals with them
Same here. Those men look like so many other POWs of wars past whose treatment was beyond unpleasant. I wish them long and peaceful lives, surrounded by their loved ones.
