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

                        @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.

                                          Under amendments to legislation titled "on military duty and military service," citizens with the ranks that include "soldiers, sailors and sergeants" could be mobilized until the age of 40, 50, or 55 depending on the category.

                                          A higher age limit has also been introduced for those in Russia's mobilized reserve who signed up for occasional military training and a stipend when their compulsory military service ends, according to Reuters.

                                          The age for men with the highest ranks in the reserves can be called up "remains" at 70. For other senior ranks it has risen to up to 65, while for junior officers, it is now up until the age of 60. Meanwhile, general reservists can be brought back into service until the age of 55, 10 years older than previously.
