A move by Japan to provide Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine will have "grave consequences" for Russia-Japan ties, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

All the more impressive her age. She saw the world war two, Stalin, Soviet Union, and she seems to see things pretty clearly for what they are. As opposed to many others of her age group who hold Stalin and USSR sacred, and extend that to Putin.

This is only a rumor, so treat it with a huge grain of salt - but it might be that Gerasimov was killed in one of recent Ukrainian strikes on Crimea.
Going back to previous such rumor, that russian Admiral that was rumored to be killed in Crimea a few months ago never surfaced again bar that sus video converence with Putin.
Similar story was with Cuba mercenaries and it seems like more and more pro-RUssian countries ban their mercenaries to work for Russia (I guess for their own safety ).
Oh, and Russia started force citizenship/conscriptions of migrants, so rather sooner than later most people on this planet will be like that:
- hey, wanna free plane ticket to Belarus/Russia?
a) No thank you.
b) No.
c) Hell no!
This article is saying that Ukraine has lost 500,000 people (killed or seriously wounded) in this war. Russia has lost around 350,000 during the same period according to various reports. Is Ukraine hemorrhaging greater numbers than Russia? If so (or even if not so), how long can Ukraine keep it up?
Also, It does seem that the West underestimated the magnitude of Russian weapons supplies and production capability, so there is that too. Given the dwindling supply of weapons available to Ukraine, can we expect to see a new Russian push to take Kyiv this year? How much danger is there that Ukraine might be completely overtaken, with the West standing aside with a yawn?

Same news is available in Russia Today which means it is blatant lie per default. Finally Yuriy Lutsenko, if he indeed claimed something like that, is not someone who would be sitting on casualty numbers for Ukraine.
Also anyone claiming exact Russian or Ukr casualty numbers is talking out of their posterior. The accurate numbers of this conflict may be available perhaps 10 or 20 years post-conflict.
I think Russia needs significantly more willing bodies than that to take what they claim Russia to be right now (which is most of the Ukraine and then some)
Need quite a few babies born for the next war

Agreed, Russia already lost many of their best soldiers and equipment in Kyiv, Bakhmut and Avdiivka. How many Russian losses until Putin declares a general mobilization?

Some say Putin is still torn between those that want everything he promised, who actually want victory in Ukraine, and keeping himself in power. Full scale mobilization might do wonders for political unrest in Russia as it'll draw on people in the cities who dont want to be in the army, and who hadnt been recruited yet. It seems like Putin is afraid to do that.
So if it happens, I'll mark it down under "a good thing". This would test how deep the roots of Russian fascism really are. Russia crumbling under this test, or Russia displaying to the world its colors even more clearly than now, are both good outcomes. Russia can not go back from mass indiscriminate violence, it'll only dial it up.

I find it ironic that Russia thretend that Europe will freeze, yet it's many district of Moscow that are freezing right now
Edit: My memory is hazy, but wasn't the same situation a year ago?
Your memory is indeed partial - Kremlin was threatening that non-Russian nations would be eating their pets by this time.

As to corruption in the land of Putin causing issues such as letting basic utilities be run into ground - that is more of a "status normal".
Since Putin had cracked down on dissent and opposition, I think the complains about freezing temperatures will not go unpunished now. Something that could be brushed off as a local problem pre-war, will now be seen as attack on Kremlin. This is purely my speculation.
On the flip side, many Russians who supported Putin before the war wouldnt attribute failures of the government to Putin. We, Russians, are very good at mental gymnastics. You can even see it when we talk about Stalin.

Looking over the PDF, while there's nothing like "we will bomb Kremlin until the situation improves" in there, there are some good stuff
- a 10 yr agreement, I assume with renewal possibility
- military and economic cooperation, beyond just "aid", but short of "bombing"
- holding Russia criminally responsible
- mention of reparations
I'll take it. There's no "win" scenario for Russia, if anyone in Russia can read this.
