It's painful to watch Russia hitting civilian targets at will in Kharkiv, this must stop, deliver all weapons to Ukraine it needs and allow to strike in Russia to defend itself.

Putin’s Dark Ages: Political Neomedievalism and Re-Stalinization in Russia
Two decades before the war against Ukraine, a “special operation” was launched against Russian historical memory, aggressively reshaping the nation’s understanding of its history and identity. The Kremlin’s militarization of Russia through World War II propaganda is well documented, but the glorification of Russian medieval society and its warlords as a source of support for Putinism has yet to be explored. This book offers the first comparison of Putin’s political neomedieva

If Russia would conquer a larger part of Ukraine, it can surely not control it (that's math, troops. territory etc.).
