Maybe this is just Western Press putting its thumb on the scale, but it seems to me there is a real difference between Russian and Ukranian attacks. Ukranian precisely attack bombers on the ground that had been used to launch cruise missles at Ukraine and precisely attacks ammunition depots and ammunition factories. Small explosives are planted in Russian to take out specific military leaders. Russia just lobs high explosives in the general direction of urban areas in what amounts to WW2 area/terror bombing.

Russia is fighting with Terrorism against civilians. The question is why? Is this what it believes will win the war for them? It seems that the terrorism just strengthens Ukrainian resolve. Therefore, I would assume the reason Russia fights the war this way is because it can't fight a precise war like Ukraine. Not a good sign for a former superpower. And not a good sign if it wants to roll Ukraine.

Trump Sends Envoy to Belarus, Courting Ties With Russia’s Close Ally​

The outreach to Belarus’s autocratic leader, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko, comes as the country has released at least 14 political prisoners.
 


Says the thousand times he said he could make a few calls and end the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a day were “of course … sarcastic”, claims credit for Israel/Iran ceasefire (ended in 12 days a war simmering for 30 years), something vague about it Serbia that seems to alarm Rubio, and then claims credit for ending the recent India/Pakistan skirmish (despite Modi’s strong denial that Trump had anything to do with that ceasefire).
 
Russia's Shahed drone factories have recently been a major target for Ukraine. Seems Russia is ramping up their use, and even plans to have the slow moving drones manufactured in North Korea. But there was a report that Ukraine is getting creative and may deploy propeller planes with machine guns as a low cost way to shoot them down (think World War II planes or even crop dusters) That way, they can save their F-16's for more important tasks.
 
“I hope this reorganization will allow us to better manage personnel — to use troops more efficiently and build more capable reserves for future counteroffensive and offensive operations,” Syrsky stated.

Ukraine's commanding General Syrsky made this statement when he stated Ukraine would complete by year's end the military's conversion to the Corp system. Talking about future offensive operations is interesting. Perhaps, with all the talk about Russia running out of liquid assets by year's end, that there is a positive Ukrainian expectation that a situation may develop that they need to be prepared to take advantage of.

Let's just hope Trump doesn't throw Putin a lifeline or something.
