I guess the vibe could be compared kinda sorta to a Hooters, but it’s very ritualized (you might see the maids dancing and singing to J-pop). A major difference is that, in my brief experience, the food was *revolting*, which I understand is typical of maid cafes but actually not true about Hooters.

Good news, he mainly desires a more Moscow-friendly government. So he doesn’t want any specific territory in the east — he just wants the whole country.

People close to the Kremlin, as well as political analysts, say that Mr. Putin’s demands — to exclude Ukraine from NATO, limit Ukrainian military capabilities and lay the groundwork for a more Moscow-friendly government in Kyiv — are more crucial to him than the specifics of what territory Russia ultimately controls.
