Putin: This is a Global Conflict - Scott Ritter (Judging Freedom)

Good interview with Ritter on the war where he says the Russians are doing exactly what they are telling the public. Putin's said they would advance to prevent long range fire from hitting the areas they control, out to 150km. This means areas like Odessa are eventual targets. The final objective is likely the Polish border, going by their demilitarisation objective. Also, the Russian economy is doing well, and they have strong support from China and a lot of the rest of the world. European military leaders know they can't match the Russians in a stand up fight in terms of ammo and force size. The writing is on the wall for this folly.
