Trump gave Putin a green light to do whatever he wants to Ukraine. And so Putin did. It is not a coincidence that russia started to carpet-bomb Ukrainian cities right after Trump became president and removed sanctions on russian oil.

Russia feels it can terrorize Ukrainians with jet-powered drones and face no consequences. The best response is to destroy the Tsymbulova drone base. But that requires our own ballistic missiles. We don’t have them yet, and there’s little point in counting on partners. So we endure and wait.

Russia occupies Oleshky. Around 2,000 civilians remain and run out of food, medicine, water and electricity. Russia, as the occupying power, is responsible for facilitating humanitarian relief. Ukraine found another way in: its forces delivered ~4 tons of food by drone to 100 locations across town.
