Houston! Texas!
Why are they driving back and forth?
Don't these vehicles have guns? Why not just roll over Russian positions?
This sounds right from the comments:

"That is not storming. They are testing the enemies strength in what is probably a strong position. Push in passed the friendly lines with some light armor, see what the enemy does. Pull back and do it again. If they can't counter the light vehicles move in your heavy units. Once the heavy (tanks) move past your lines, clear your trenches of infantry and push with the armor. Then you are storming the enemy in force with Armor and Infantry supporting the armor to make a new line to hold where the enemy was entrenched.
*They are testing the enemies strength in this video, which is badass and you don't see videos of this from modern warfare. This war is crazy, its WW1, 2 and Afghanistan all mixed into one with fighting styles."

We're "really, really serious this time guys..." All while Putin takes a victory lap in Crimea today.

If the Kremlin is talking don't believe a word out of their mouth.

Serious propositions must include the following-

1. Russia gets to Crimea
2. Russia gets to keep the Donbas
3. Removal of Zelensky and installation of a Russian approved leader
4. Demilitarization of UA
5. Neutral status for UA

Ukraine is about to negotiate from a position of power, Russia knows that is slipping away. You don't go to the table if you don't need to
They're also playing the political game of giving those in NATO countries who don't fully support the arming of UA the ability to say "Well russia offered peace talks and UA refused, so they are in the wrong."

It's all theater.

I don't even listen to any of that, Hungarian leadership can be discared IMHO. So many people from Hungary died to the Nazi's and then the Soviets. Is disgusting where they are now.

A large portion of the conservative party is stricken with Stockholm syndrome
