1/3 Russia has hit the North Bridge in Kyiv again today. If this was a genuine military target (though it's impossible to even pretend it is), Putin and his horde of war criminals could hit it at night, during the curfew. This again proves Putin's lie they don't target civilians.

Ukrainian Special Forces hitting russian logistics. Why it works: it's not about one truck. It makes highways unusable, breaks plans, and forces russia to pull resources into guarding roads. For Ukraine the strike is almost free. For russia, the defence is very expensive.
