When you see a trend you gotta make note of it. I'm seeing a trend of the Russians systematically going after these ammo depots and they appear to be having a degree of success.

I have to assume that the Ukrainians aren't crazy so they're running all kinds of deceptions and have dozens of smaller ammo points but it sure doesn't look that way.

Additionally the Russians seem to be getting better at locating them too.

Makes nothing but sense too.  I thought the attacks against the power grid was the way to go (that's how we've done it) but we weren't up against a nation being supplied by over 30 nations.

If we were then we'd go after ammo points and fuel depots.  We'd go after them hard.

You can have a million launchers/cannons but if you don't have the rounds for them then they're useless.

So I get it.

But back to attacks on the power grid.  Why didn't the Russians shut down that power plant when they had control of it?  Not causing a meltdown but simply shutting it down and making sure it couldn't come back online easily?  Plus after all that fear mongering about another Chernobyl, we haven't heard jack about that plant for ages now.

This is weird war.  Neither side seems to be pushing for victory.  It's almost like everyone has fallen into the trap of the USA...perpetual war.  War for the sake of war.

That is disturbing.

Which is why I would love to see China and the Non-Aligned nations making a major push at the UN to turn this thing off.

Everyone fears that Russia will rearm.  SO WILL UKRAINE!  But at least the dying and destruction will end (assuming a ceasefire while they talk).

The weird thing?  

We've reached a point where being a cheerleader for continued warfare is the easy thing.  Asking that you turn the war off will lead to ridicule.  Weird war, weird times we're living in.
