Especially when it all happened in the course of three weeks in a special military operation that was not meeting any resistance other than fraternal greetings and offerings of bread and salt to the troops.
MIL told spouse yesterday in their zoom call that the bodies are beginning to arrive home in the city for burial. Also no sugar or bleached office paper in to be had anywhere.

The world's response is unprecedented. While I abhor the loss of life and the accompanying misery, we are seeing something truly new in human history.

I have been wondering if Ukraine would dare launch an assault into Russian territory and if so what that looks like? An assault on the disputed Donbas region? An assault on non-disputed Russian land?

Yup. Supposedly they've pushed the Russians out of a suburb of Kiev.

Not likely. As it is their plate is full defending their own territory.

There would be no strategic advantage in taking Russian territory. I could see incursions to take out specific near-border military targets, but that is probably not achievable.

An attack on Moscow would do wonders for morale.

How can they have frostbite? I checked the weather in Ukraine and it seems to be pretty warm currently.
