the russian social media are full of videos of people that basically have very disoriented and are reluctant, frankly speaking, to say that this is the result of putting this war against you crying but it is clear now that it's not just some isolated shelling incidence that it is now impacted this impulse and southern russian region. and people there are nice at the fact that things have really gone wrong. and, you know, in the past days we've seen repeated cross border action in the b l growth region and fighting on russian territory. might this be the beginning of ukraine's long awaited counter offensive as well? indeed, michael, you're right. some of the geography has a stratum in white and very significantly strikes were reported this much a 130 kilometers from the previous sort of shelving area, a 130 kilometers to the east. so yes,
