If I am seeing this clearly, Zelensky is say: give me liberty or give me death! You have a leader at a pivot point. Putin wants control, not a destroyed nation needing re-building.
Update, now the sleepywinks are out of my eyes. It was quiet here because the fighting is with small arms, in the city.
That's a no-win for Russia. They are outnumbered. Ukrainians have the logistics. They know the city. They have higher morale.
Robert Homans, a far more expert friend, notes that Russian armor has no infantry support. No protection against Ukrainian ambushes, which are many and effective. He writes that Putin doesn't trust his soldiers on the ground in the cities. They make easy targets, and could easily surrender.
Homans writes as well that Ukraine's anti-aircraft stuff has been effective, as noted. Stingers, as were effective in Afghanistan, against helicopters. Ukraine's air force is still in operation.
Just heard an explosion. What I thought were sappers are probably cruise missiles, fired from the Black Sea in some cases. Expensive, running out and impossible now to replace. If things were going according to plan it would be artillery.
Russia's supposed advantages: better weaponry, and training, surprise, etc. have come to naught. Time to fold the tents and go home.

9:00 Biggest explosion yet, probably over in Obolon, 3-4 miles NW. Shook the house.
Many of you questioned the bioweapons. Here's a link today. I'll repeat it, adding others as they show up.
