The ground attack is taking it's toll on numbers, he can't hide all the dead.
It was inevitable they would resort to long range bombing, I would not be surprised to see blitz type attacks in future.
Russia is about to get lower, dirtier, and even more indiscriminate with it's special operation.

And that's from a pretty low basepoint

'Russia - 45% of oil capacity hit by drone attacks'.
45%? Let's see the detail then. Spoiler alert: he could be right.

Detailed and convincing. I'm looking forward to a severe increase in oil prices this Summer.

Give them billions more in weapons & maybe they won't need to. If this is the only way to bring Russia to heel so be it.
The US needs to properly help or just shut up. I hope Ukraine ignores them.
Some interesting twatter replies beneath the article...about the author etc...let's see if the US State department confirms it.
Of course, it is US election year too.

Hang on America. Hang on.
If we're not buying Russia's oil, how does hitting their refineries affect oil prices?

Interestingly and I think relevant to this thread, Russia and China have blocked a UN security council ceasefire resolution on Gaza.
Look Africa. Look Global south. Look Muslim world. Who are your friends here? Ukraine and the West, or Russia and China?

Other countries are buying their oil. If they go elsewhere, then the suppliers will up the price as demand goes up
In particular...China and India are buying a lot of cheap Russian oil at the moment.

What the? Eh?
I wonder why they are making this comment at this time...?
As one reply said...then so is Russia since they are getting most of their weapons from Iran and North Korea.

And as another reply said:
They are leaving now........Because if they stay what would be the reason?
Or are they just upping the Maskirovka, to wrongfoot the enemy?
Or are the NATO manoeuvres in Romania a risk too far? Maybe they aren't ready for a conflict with NATO. Putin hinted as much in his speech.
My money is on Maskirovka v2.0 - an attempt to avert the west re-arming, while giving Russia time to re-arm and come back stronger.
Putin has borne a grudge for decades. He isn't suddenly going to change his mind because of a few drones or oil refineries. Or 450,000 dead Russians.
