Putin is making a blustering speech about how the West is to blame for the war in Ukraine. He's making his usual vague threats.
I have a hunch we will be seeing Ukraine launch their fall offensive soon. They rested and regrouped by the September offensive and they have three possible axes of attack: Donetsk, towards Melitopol and grinding down Kherson. Personally - without knowing shit about the dispossession of Russian defensive positions, I would think a strike towards Melitopol and then moving west towards encircling Kherson would force Russia to withdraw or risk being surrounded. Liberating the Zaporizkzhia nuclear power plant would also be a huge plus.
Or maybe Russia has that area well defended. Still, they need to make more gains before the winter sets in, and I would expect something sooner rather than later.
