I see it more as the Ukraine defence putting studs on the ball, waiting for the moment to break the Russian press and rip them a new one.

No, I think they've all been defenestrated, like Harry Maguire and David De Gea soon will be. My concern is a 'reaction' on Sunday.
BTW, don't forget the nationwide smartphone alert test at 3pm on Sunday. It's just a test, but we will all get the alert on our smartphones.
(Probably best not to speculate on the reasons for the test).

Bit like cricket [well not really], nobody is really winning until it's won [game over].
This may go down to a super-over, last ball victory, but impossible to say for who, just now.
My wife's parents live in a farming village, under occupation, somewhere east/ south east of the Zaporozhye nuclear power station. Thousands of Russian troops (regular plus many conscripts) have been stationed in their and surrounding villages for months now. They would be on a secondary north-south route toward Melitopol.
In the past few weeks the Russians have been digging trenches and improving fortifications around all these villagers. Obviously for anticipated defence, but also to keep thousands of idle hands away from the vodka.

Silly old bat
Ukraine is gearing up for a huge counter-offensive. Putin has said if they try to take back Russian occupied ground, he’ll use every weapon he has to stop them.
And our government are testing early warning alarms on our phones.
It’s pretty obvious what that’s all about.
I hope everyone in Belgorod has trouble sleeping at nights

Russia's Belgorod sees mass evacuations over undetonated bomb
An undetonated bomb was found in Belgorod, where a jet accidentally dropped another bomb days earlier.

He said the same before Ukraine took back Kharkiv, and then didn't use anything he hadn't already used. More empty threats.
What is that all about? If we're nuked, a message on our phone won't help.
How very inconvenient for them... shame it didn't explode'Russia's Belgorod sees mass evacuations over undetonated bomb'

No one. Only losers so far: thousands of innocent Ukrainians slaughtered; thousands of duped Russian conscripts slaughtered; Russia not achieved its objectives; Ukraine will take decades to rebuild and the indirect knock-on impact on millions of people of higher inflation.
On the other hand, China, the energy companies and arms manufacturers will be salivating at the opportunities.
Oh well when one door closes and all that.
