Ukraine should have made a deal for peace in March of 2022, and by many accounts wanted to, but were told no by the West through Boris Johnson.

Another conscription effort for Ukrainian bodies to send to the meat grinder is a "toxic issue" in Ukraine:

They don't care about "toxic" - they keep on going.

There was today's video; the young woman is crying somewhere in Western Ukraine - wherever she was going with her husband, he was pulled out from his car by the army at some check point, and taken in unknown direction for conscription. All communication between them was prohibited from that point on. She was left in a car with a child in the middle of nowhere. She was frantic, not knowing what to do next, so she posted her video describing her situation on the social media. The next thing that happened, the Putin's KGB ( sorry, Ukrainian SBU) dragged her in their office, accusing her in "working for Russia," and forcing her to make public apologies.

A fine example of Ukrainian "democracy". But move along folks, nothing to see here. It's always Putin's fault anyway. Ukraine is not a dictatorship. It isn't, it isn't. It is a benevolent democracy. It is, it is. Maybe if you repeat it enough times it will become true.

In Moscow, people are forced to make a central bonfire to keep themselves warm.

Reason is, that in many houses the heating systems have stopped working. While this is hardly uncommon in crumbling Russia, what is new is, the companies who made replacement parts are working for the war industry and are crippled by “accidents†or sanctions which prevent them from importing parts.

There are hundreds of ways for Ukraine to fight back. Russia attacked a country whose border is largely left unguarded and where a great many people speak the Russian language. It is easy for saboteurs to move around Russia unnoticed.

ISW Update 1/6/23

Jan 6, 2024 - ISW Press

Ukrainian forces are conducting a multi-day strike campaign against Russian military targets in occupied Crimea and have successfully struck several targets throughout the peninsula. Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces struck an administrative building at the Russian airfield in occupied Saky, Crimea with up to four Storm Shadow cruise missiles on the night of January 5 to 6. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces destroyed five Ukrainian drones and four missiles over the Black Sea and Crimea on the night of January 5 to 6 and six Ukrainian Neptune missiles over the northwestern Black Sea on January 6. Ukrainian Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk thanked Ukrainian pilots for successfully striking targets at the Saky airfield but did not specify if he was referring to Ukrainian strikes on January 4, 5, or 6. Oleshchuk posted satellite imagery showing the target of the reported successful Ukrainian strike at the Saky airfield, although ISW is currently unable to identify what the target was. The Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) stated on January 6 that the GUR, Ukrainian Air Force, and Ukrainian forces conducted a complex special operation that struck Russian radar positions at the Saky airfield and an equipment depot near Hryshyne (60km northeast of Yevpatoria) on January 4. GUR posted satellite imagery showing damage to the Russian ammunition depot near Hryshyne. Ukrainian officials and sources have reported that Ukrainian forces have also struck an air defense radar system and a communications center in Yevpatoria responsible for coordinating Russian air defense operations in occupied Crimea, ammunition warehouses near Pervomaiske (82km north of Simferopol), and a Russian command post near Sevastopol in strikes since January 4. Ukrainian and Russian reporting indicates that Ukrainian missiles and drones are penetrating Russian air defenses in occupied Crimea and have successfully struck some intended targets.
