I think an update of Russian missile strikes are in order ... knocking out all their power plants, water plants, etc. Ukrainian forces will need to fall back to repair the infrastructure ... Russia is going scorched earth on them.
Yep, even the air raid sirens have stopped working. No electric, no water. Ukraine’s “blitzkrieg” was no match for Russia’s scorched earth.
“… knocking out all their power plants, water plants, etc…”

Already happening. The MAJOR Ukrainian bridges are next. In a word… ESCALATION!
True it may be too early to call a winner in this war but it is a sure thing Putin is the loser and may well not survive. A breakup of the Russian Federation is a distinct possibility but it is not a desirable outcome for the west as China would eventually gobble up the pieces. If Russia wins it will because the Europeans pull the rug out from under Ukraine in return for Russian gas. Ukraine probably has 3 months to break Russian will otherwise European will will break.
Putin isn’t all-powerful in Russia forever, I wonder how much political capital he has left to pull off these radical escalations that are being described on this thread, which would only be more dragging Russia down into the abyss of showing the world horrors and psychopathy, and the sickness of the Russian mind, and the nation’s utter lack of morality and any concept of moral limits or restraints.
Weird how when you Goolag "russian missile strikes ukraine", nothing comes up from this week.
Almost as if it is being censored...

Why? Troops in the field are not dependent on civilian power and water.
It's just the usual useless Russian vindictiveness. Much of their weaponry is being shipped from abroad (not to mention their copious new supplies acquired from Russian forces). The Ukrainians aren't stupid, which means repair and production facilities probably have alternative power sources.
The civilians will be hard hit, but probably not for long. We hammered German cities far harder, and when troops rolled into the Ruhr many factories were still running.
Nope, not going to happen. Putin’s army doesn’t have the capability to do so for Ukraine west of the Dnieper
