The real story, with neither Russia nor Ukraine nor NATO forces want to reveal, is that...
NATO and Ukraine have the technology which intercepts missile in the air soon after launch, and takes them down within the launching-nation, making it appear as if they bombed themselves by mistake. It’s a hack of the tech inside the missile’s tech,which is being adapted for intercepting nuclear missiles too. Imagine countries with nuclear missiles dropping nuclear bombs on themselves. ;)
Bottom line is we are at a stalemate and when Trump is president the parties will come to table and Ukraine will give up land, the war will end and oil prices will fall through the floor. Then the media can cry Russia, Russia, Russia all over again.
