Russians know it and that is why they are not going to use it. They would not lost only this war, but lot more

Indeed, they would be the first ones after Hiroshima to use one and will probably lose support from other countries that currently still support them, Esp. China.

Russia likes to distinguish between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons but still this a no go when it comes to Nato and the U.S. If they explode a nuke, even if it doesn’t kill anybody, Nato lead by the U.S. will hit all their positions in Ukraine with conventional weapons and all their ships in the Black Sea untill none are left.

All warnings from both sides but if they actually do it we have to wait and see

It doesn't work like this. If western strategists and think tanks would actually expect Russia to scale back after takeover of Ukraine, they would have simply let it happen for good.

Its far more likely that after Ukraine, Russia reaches out into Georgia, then Moldavia, then the Baltic countries...and most likely...cause it pure candy...its very likely that Sweden and Finland are very high on their list.

Thats why western countries do alot to bog down the russian war machine in Ukraine. They know that otherwise they're next. Thats also why Sweden really sends in alot....like 2 of 2 of its Awacs planes (sort of). Thats probably also why Biden is doublecrossing US's long term ally Israel and wants to pressure it to a peace treaty at all costs. US wants to stay focused on Ukraine and Taiwan.

Regarding nukes: Inofficial / semi official US channels as well as Nato channels already stated that Nato would intervene via conventional air strikes and destroy all russian forces in this theatre including the Black Seas Fleet and its infrastructure.

Everything is a maybe, at this stage BUT one thing is certain, & that is, it's not getting any better with each passing day.

It will take years to grind them down and make them abort the operation. The old Soviet Union (far more powerful than todays Russia) pulled out of Afghanistan after almost a decade had passed. Exhausted and demoralized. US and allies supported Afghans for years and it paid off.
Today's Russia is not as powerful and the Ukrainean War is of alot higher intensity than the Soviet-Afghan war. So ... lets say 3-5 years? Considering they keep their slow pace with these high loss counts.

It's certainly been a bit of a slog for the Ukrainians to get to this point in time.
Poo Tin started his 3 Day "Special Military Operation" some 28 Months Ago & the UAF & its people have not only endured the horrors of war, but they have repulsed the enemy en mass showing their resolve in ridding their lands of this scourge & murderous oppression.
I think that Poo Tin & his inner circle are finally coming to realise that this is not going to be a walk in the park for him especially with all the combined might of NATO & the West & will look to either resolve this, capitulate to a degree, which will hurt his pride, or start pushing bigger buttons to vent his hate at being hurt on the field & in turn, looking weak in the eyes of his subordinates & countrymen for not being able to do shit for 2 plus years of his 3 Day SMO.

He's also just recently succumbed to more pressure due to the fact that western supplied weapons have been "Officially" authorised for usage against the actual country of Russia itself, taking the war to his doorstep, so I think that we will soon see a dramatic turn in the way this war is being fought as they will start to see the arrivals of ordinance pretty quick I'm guessing, so how will he push that back is the question.

Who knows I guess, but one thing's for sure, he won't go quietly to which I say,

Hey Poo Tin & his Bitches, "GO FUCK YOURSELVES" !

yes, most of my predictions for this war went absolutely wrong. No one knows what is going to happen in future. But for Ukraine there are no options if it wants to survive. And i think for us it is impossible to let Ukraine to fall down, because we invested a lot into it already

This is what two years of Russian captivity look like.

This is Roman Gorilyk, who returned to Ukraine from the Russian Gulag.

Roman is the senior controller of the checkpoint for the protection of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. He and the other 168 National Guardsmen guarding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were literally taken hostage by the Russians and taken out of Ukraine through Belarus in March 2022. 89 of them are still being held captive, and the Russian side is using them to exchange for Russian servicemen captured in battle.

During the entire stay in Russian captivity, Roman and the other 74 Ukrainian prisoners of war returned by exchange were never visited by observers of the International Committee of the Red Cross. It is a conscious and purposeful policy of the Russian authorities not to allow observers to visit prisoners of war in violation of the provisions of the Geneva Conventions. This is done specifically so that the International Red Cross cannot record how the Russian side treats prisoners of war. To hide from the world Russia's inhumane attitude towards Ukrainians, literally the policy of genocide of the Ukrainian people.
