What I'm not understanding is the civilian militia troops that Putin made a huge deal about.

Putin was handing out guns to civilians and expected them to defend themselves and the border....it was a huge deal at the time. Men and women given rifles.

Where are they? What happened to them. I've seen nothing about them anywhere .

3000 Russians are entrapped between a horseshoe shaped river and the Ukraine troops
The three bridges crossing the river are destroyed and the pontoon bridges are quickly knocked out

Will Putin try to save them?

Sounds like the Ukies are doing O.K. by themselves All the more reason to keep American taxpayer funding at home.

Now with the second front opened to the west....
Putin has a very serious dilemma...

He either continues to push forward regardless of the consequences....hoping he can "win" (whatever that looks like) before he has to have a general mobilization....or pull troops from the front lines.

Now if somehow Ukraine reaches far enough into Russia and begins to hit military bases or airfields or something else that Russian elites actually value (like their sons or money or nuclear weapons stores) Then Putin will find himself on a leash too short for him to breathe anymore. Until then the Russian Elite just don't care.
