Seems pretty clear that Putin was invited and accepted the invitation. Obviously things can change and accidents do happen - but otherwise it seems he will be there.

the aftermath of thousands naked, brutalized and littered across the streets of Bucha, yes. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you think anyone would have footage of this in particular happening in real time.
There's plenty of live footage of Russians executing hostages and killing innocent civilians, though.

what do you mean by that

actually, they have indeed put up hundreds in lines on their knees with signs of torture like having their hands cut off or being raped. So I am being literal here.
There's a reason Russians are being dehumanized as "orcs" now.
"Truth...justice, honor, freedom! Vain indulgences, every one(...) I know what I want, and I take it. I take advantage of whatever I can, and discard that which I cannot. There is no room for sentiment or guilt."
I'm not exactly sure why I of all people here am trying to rationalize the possibility of Russians doing this or that atrocitiy, but people:
EVERY war crime or crime against humanity you can think of, Russians have done so far in Ukraine. EVERYTHING. Even the pettiest shit like stealing toys from kids has happened in their insatiable looting campaigns.
"Truth...justice, honor, freedom! Vain indulgences, every one(...) I know what I want, and I take it. I take advantage of whatever I can, and discard that which I cannot. There is no room for sentiment or guilt."
Again, no one is denying that Russia is committing warcrimes. Just that you are hyperbolizing the actual events.
Yes, people were tortured
yes, people were raped
yes, people were executed and left in mass graves.
But there is no evidence of 1000 women and children being raped in a line. That's your own spin.

And not a single person is denying that bad shit has happened.
But "EVERY war crime or crime against humanity you can think of" is fucking Hypberbole. We know this. You know this...because you keep on prophetizing about the atrocities Russia has yet to commit.

i'm pretty sure...doing every wicked crime against humanity possible just one short of WMDs is nothing to be proud of or hold the moral high ground over in a "at least I didn't do THAT one thing" way.
That's why Russia will collapse econonically, as a country, and lose its identity as anything but a fallen terrorist state as consequence. It's nothing to be proud of.

Anyway, the war: in the East, the Russians have made very modest gains at high cost, at least a good chunk of which were the Ukrainians tactically retreating rather than being defeated. War nerds on Twitter are predicting this will putter out in week or two due to heavy losses, low morale, little gain and a need to stay near supply lines. It seems Trent Telenko's prophecy of doom for the logistical force of the Russian army has come to pass. In any case, it's probably the last major Russian offensive for a while (and the last one until they mobilize their reservists).

Imo, for Ukraine it will then come down whether they want to push and start taking back territory, or get a deal here. Right now the Ukrainians can probably take back Kherson and push Ru back across the river, anything more they need the incoming heavy weapons and incoming troops they mobilized two months ago.

Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
