Very good report on the Ukrainian offensive.
Pretty dramatic day in Russia: Ukrainian drones have reportedly attacked four Russia air bases, destroying a significant number of strategic bombers and radar planes. (Tu-95s, Tu-22, A-50)
Russian milbloggers are furious. One calls it a "black day," another says they need to nuke Kyiv.
