Is this why they can't do much mobilisation from major cities? The people are far more clued up on what's going on?

Today, the major challenge facing Ukraine is that insurers’ risk perceptions will likely drive a spike in war risk premiums, which could make movement in the Black Sea effectively unprofitable, or even lead to coverage being withdrawn. While convoys could resolve this underlying challenge by reassuring shipowners, they could also have the opposite effect. The sight of NATO and Russian assets operating cheek by jowl could just as easily increase perceptions of war risk. Russia could exacerbate this risk through acts of brinkmanship such as risky aerial manoeuvres, much as it has done recently.

No idea wether the reports are true. But no matter what, it was an obvious mistake not to continue the march on Moscow. No idea why he believed he could just continue like nothing ever happened. He of all people must know how weak this would have made Putin look.
 
This was obviously going to happen, should’ve just taken putin out when he had the chance
