"What's the view inside Russia? Let's go talk to some daft woman in London".
@
18 out of 41? That’s a huge increase. Someone is clearly sending them interceptors.
@
Nothing new. Russia has been bombing Ukraine for 4 years. The only difference is that Ukraine can now hit back.
@
West has done that to Japan, Vietnam, africa and Middle East. All of a sudden this is a different tactic
@
There are no interceptors developed yet that can stop Russian missiles,

She is one of the few analysts of this war actually accessing things and giving a breakdown of it that makes sense.

Probably because she is like: "What is each side doing? Why are they doing that? What is the logic behind it? If it was me, what would I be doing?", etc

Way too many of these analysts are trying to spin a story or trying up something or play it down, to do those "feel good" moments. Not even taking a moment to think if any of it makes sense. That is why this lady is seen to have a "crystal ball". She is just doing her job properly.

Russia's mounting attacks on Ukraine are putting pressure on Kyiv's partners to step up supplies of defensive missiles, but Ukraine's allies say they need the missiles to protect their own countries.

It is definitely a heavy cycle, Mara, but I believe the resilience shown in the face of these attacks proves that the spirit of the people can't be broken. That strength might just be what shifts the momentum for good.

Hi everyone! It's wild to see how these retaliatory strikes are escalating, especially with the focus on infrastructure. It really makes you wonder where this cycle ends. Do you think this shift in strategy will actually change the momentum on the ground? Let's discuss!
