Ukes strike moscow, muscovites strike kiev. If this confuses you, well, that’s understandable, really.

Chad, Ukraine and Russia are at war. They each are trying to damage their enemy’s infrastructure and capacity to wage war. That;s all part of war.

And least we forget… IT’S NOT OUR WAR! Our taxpayers should not be forced to finance a single penny dedicated to that war.

Maybe payback for:

Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor damaged following drone attack

The drone attack included three direct hits against the facility's main reactor containment

what happened to American Patriot AD?

Hard to tell

Some rumors Russia that took some of them out last month
Other rumors that they are running low on missiles

But over half of the Russian missiles are hitting targets these days even in western and central Ukraine where air defense is thicker so something has changed

I would guess that electronic warfare and drones have something to do with it.

Russia destroyed Trypillya thermal power station today, the biggest energy provider for Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Cherkasy oblasts.
Our source in Ukraine energy industry says with such pace Russia will destroy 100% of UA’s energy capabilities by summer, making it impossible to live here
