I will probably go to hell for laughing so loud at this. So be it.

We both will. In the past 10 minutes I have been informed by an impeccable source that while the incident report is true, the video posted on X is bogus. Clearly sloppy on my part not to have taken the effort to do a bit more homework on the video.

An acquaintance of mine in Kyiv just sent me the following status update via FB Messenger:
I have power. I'm fully charged on all my devices and I'm as charged as I can be to deal with the other realities of life.
Some time ago I wrote that Putin calculates one more massive missile strike to kill civilians and we'll tap out. And he was wrong. He's calculated that he can freeze us out this winter and we'll capitulate. He's wrong.
It's hard to be in Kyiv now but the temperatures will warm and the ice will melt and we will still not have fucking capitulated.

Unfortunately, more of the same. :(. Though there is the possibility of more talks on Feb 1.
Ukraine and Russia ended a second day of US-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi on Jan 24 without a deal but with more talks expected next weekend, even as overnight Russian airstrikes knocked out power for over a million Ukrainians amid subzero winter cold.
Statements after the conclusion of the talks did not indicate that any agreements had been reached, but Moscow and Kyiv both said they were open to further dialogue.

Not sure what to think of this. Sounds very complicated.
