If they took him out before the deal was made sure, this soon after just shows weakness and a lack of credibility. They did the equivalent to getting into a bar fight, talking it out instead and then in front of every one sucker punching the other guy.

you know you don't have to forcibly try to interpret every event as a sign of Russian weakness

They were losing a war to a bunch of tractors and their flagship was sunk by a country without a navy.

It's not Russian weakness, it's Russian stupidity.

Didn’t realize those billions in aid were for tractors.

They stopped Russia with tractors.

Now they're pushing them back with real gear.

Jokerfication: when you kind of pity someone for being this propagandized, but laugh at them because it's pretty funny

Yes... I am the propagandized one.

Not the rural poor being marched off to die for half the price of a lada they'll never receive for an oligarch's pride.

All I can say is: Please, PLEASE! Make sure they keep marching.

You claim they started with tractors. This is utter nonsense; the AFU started the war as a legitimate military, especially after it took the decade following the Minsk agreements to arm up in anticipation of this war.

You also claim they are pushing Russia back despite the front not moving appreciably in the past year, even during the latest vaunted counteroffensive.
