Yes, there's quite a lot of speculation. One source stated that Prigozhin's family would've been in danger if he hadn't backed off.

Good question. What has it achieved for Ukraine, only served to give the Ruskies time to dig in and bring in reinforcements.

My impression is that people often expect too much and base their expectations on those courses of battles as they may have seen in films on WWII. Those old-school battle formations are very rare these days and if they are seen, then they indicate the very end of an offensive and not the beginning. An offensive can have been going on for some time without spectators realising it. As you are saying, the Russians have had a steep learning curve by establishing three defence lines that will give the Ukrainians a headache since they are already having difficulty getting past the forward commands. OTOH, the Ukrainians have learnt where the weakest points of the Russians are and will be using that knowledge for the decisive breakthrough, which, however, won't be the final one. We'll see a series of attacks and counterattacks and it will be too early for real territorial gains. So we shouldn't be expecting too much in this phase of the conflict.

I have a nice gas heater Thomas but turn it off when I go to bed. Too costly otherwise. It's cheaper to put on extra clothes and extra bed covers. I sleep better rugged up on a cold night.

I was thinking that might be the case with his family being threatened. No blow is too low for Putin.

2-15 would sound like nothing to someone that lives in the UK but we are kind of poorly prepared for that weather, our houses especially old ones like mine aren't designed or equiped for it, since it's only a month or 2 max we don't invest in the clothes so much either.I've been in minus temps and been snowed in, I loved it

Yes she was.

I don't agree with testing on animals, I understand why it's done but I don't agree with it. I buy 'cruelty free' cosmetics and toiletries, never had any intention of buying anything that's been tested on animals.
We are poorly prepared for the heat, anything of 20 and I'm melting
we're having cooler weather at the min, much more comfortable for me.Same here Ritchie, I sleep better in a cold bedroom so hardly ever put the heating on, much prefer an extra fleece blanket over my duvet.
Yes she was.

Electricity is too expensive leaving it on all night as well.
Can be challenging trying to sleep in summer with no air con though.

The old Fremantle Doctor. Is it daily? Cricketers love the 'doctor' as it helps the bowler move the ball, cools down the batsmen too.

Would come in pretty much every day in summer, just a matter of when and how strong.
No I go to a shop called Savers, it's cheaper than the Body Shop, I can get everything I need from there.
