I guess the Ukies shooting down the Ukie prisoner of war plane ( most likely with US weapons) has no bearing. War has been war for centuries, no changing that.
That said, the good news is Avidivka fell, effectively stopping the shelling of Donetsk, which has occurred since 2014. Lots of celebrations for the ethnic Russian provinces….on to the Dniepner!
——Avidivka fell-—
After untold thousands of Russian fodder died in the effort along with an uncounted excess of tanks and APC’s.
Meanwhile, Russian refineries burn, the Black Sea Fleet is incapacitated, russian HQ in Crimea is destroyed along with the commander and his staff, Russian air dares not fly and their planes are being destroyed not only in the air but on the ground.
Russian arms have been shown to be inferior and this major source of jobs for exports is gone. Oil and gas sales are seriously diminished. There is no domestic Russian auto production because of sanctions. Mercedes cars are stalled for lack of spare parts. Vodka is returning as the only solace for the loss of the life that is no longer possible.
Not to worry though..... there are thousands of mothballed T 55 tanks being readied for battle
