    I hope the attacks by Ukrainians behind enemy lines intensify before the Russian presidential election. The Russians hate them anyway. They could again drop some presents on Moscow without losing any more sympathy that they did not got from russians in the first place. Might as well show some muscles - the only language authoritarian regimes understand. 18 Drones in Kiev? 18 Drones on Moscow. But instead of civilian infrastructure, let it rain down on political targets. No need to get as low as russians.

      My theory is that Putin is waiting on the US presidential elections. To see if Trump will win and back him in his warmongering.

        Not just that, but also if Republicans in Congress can withhold aid to Ukraine, it’s essentially the same thing. Ukraine can’t fight this war effectively without our help and our weapons/ammo.

        He will use everything he’s got to affect the election. It will be worse than 2016. Not just promoting trump, but discrediting Democrats and promoting 3rd party candidates that could steal some Democrats’ votes.

          democrats don’t own the votes. they need to earn them. if a so-called “third party” earns the votes, it’s the democrats failing to earn it, not the third party stealing it.

      This madness needs to end, but it won’t because an obscenely wealthy, old, dying, murderous thief wants to cling to power.

    You know what would really cement his election? A USO-style tour of the front lines! The drones troops love that!

    Hope this results in even more giant stacks of deceased invaders.
