    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      "A Russian general in charge of forces fighting in southern Ukraine has been relieved of his duties after speaking out about problems faced by his troops, a move that reflected new fissures in the military command following a brief rebellion by mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin."

                            @George-K

                            What happened was another terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime, which had no logic from a military point of view," Putin said.

                            Probably the one of, if not the most strategic of targets in the whole theatre. It needs to be taken out or somehow denied to the Russians. Plenty of military logic in striking it,

                            @Jolly

                            That problem has been a known known for sometime now. Perhaps since 24 February 2022

                              Still, Russia has seemed unwilling to commit their air resources from the very beginning.

                                  "Putin has been invited to a BRICS summit in Johannesburg next month but is the target of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant -- a provision that Pretoria as an ICC member would be expected to implement were he to attend.

                                  South Africa's diplomatic dilemma is playing out in court, where the leading opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), is trying to force the government's hand and ensure the Kremlin leader is held and handed over to the ICC if he steps foot in the country."

                                    A counter-offensive would not surprise me, especially after the Ukrainians have been on the offensive (which requires more equipment, munitions and tends to generate higher casualties). Maybe the Russians think they have worn the Ukrainians down sufficiently to make considerable gains.

                                    The Ukrainians desperately need more and better air assets, tanks and tank killers, artillery and probably munitions of all kinds.

                                          I think VDH's column on the Russian way of waging war, is spot on. They are letting the Ukrainians wear themselves down in offensive maneuvers. The Russians are now trying to win a war of attrition.
