Russian optimism seems to have hit a new low: The main commander for Ukraine has been fired again after 3 months; Putin depleted one of his vices concerning swift production of military equipment; and one Russian politician triggers the assassination of the German foreign minister for her visit of Charkiv.

A Russian politician suggested on state television attacking Germany's foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, as she visited Ukraine's embattled Kharkiv region on Tuesday. Baerbock, who became the first German cabinet member to visit the eastern Kharkiv region, pledged ahead of her surprise trip to provide Ukraine with more weapons and "concrete offers" to assist the war-torn country join the European Union. Ukrainians "should know that they can count on our solidarity and support" and "that includes further arms deliveries," she said.
x Today, @ABaerbock and I visited wartime Kharkiv where Russia caused enormous suffering. Kharkiv is now a symbol of successful Ukrainian counteroffensives which prove Ukraine will win with sufficient support of partners. I have no doubts further German military aid will come. pic.twitter.com/iCErESAW2J — Dmytro Kuleba (@DmytroKuleba) January 10, 2023

After months of setbacks on the battlefield in Ukraine, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is apparently now left to demonstrate his toughness by getting into dust-ups with his own subordinates. The Russian leader appeared to briefly lose it on Wednesday while meeting with government officials. The breaking point came when Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov publicly corrected Putin after he complained that some enterprises had not yet secured contracts for the construction of new aircraft this year—a formidable task given that the country has been cut off from many Western imports crucial to construction. Footage from the meeting shows Manturov quickly shot back that “investment projects” were underway, but Putin cut him off to gripe that it’s “taking too long.”
