As far as I gather they're still holding Krynky. 

I think they withdrew a few weeks ago.  

They simply didn't have the ammunition to stop Russian artillery controlling the area.

They should have another crack at doing some damage to the Kremlin. It’ll be big news and embarrassing for Putin.

Meh, it won't make any material difference to Putin at all. He ensured he can't be challenged many years ago.

It would just be a bit embarrassing for them that their symbol of strength of being hit by little old Ukraine. Nothing would vintage but it would make the news (maybe).

Looks like Putin might win the presidential election. Didn't see that one coming. 

I wish I’d put some money on it now

No idea why he even goes through the sham? Literally everyone know he's a de facto dictator. Everyone inside and outside Russia knows it's not a proper fair election. He knows it, they know it, we know it. What's the point?

He can still see the level of discontent by the people that didn't vote, spoilt their paper, poured oil in the ballot box etc and obviously where that discontent is

Lots of discontent in an area, conscript more from there that'll learn 'em.

It also hammers home the message that there is no hope of rebellion. "Are you thinking of fighting back? I know you're unhappy. You know you're unhappy. Look how cowed everyone is."
