Not at an airbase miles from the front line. I can see difficulties in supplying the front line but not airbases that would have been prepared for the conflict.
I've seen commentary about Russia wanting territory for defense and to acquire Ukrainian coastal energy resources too. This would strengthen Russia as a Europe's Petro State.There are reports the Russians are suffering fuel shortages. Maybe this plays a factor?
Mysterious isn't it. Like in the horror movie, where people just - poof! - and disappear.For all the videos we're seeing of armed groups and burned out columns of purportedly Russian AFVs, I've seen none of actual combat with the Russians.
We should not.Not happy with the developments, although it seems there are some negotiations going on. Not sure how serious we should take those though.
A glimpse into the ops room. According to the background talk, the operators were disappointed that all munitions were used and the UAV should be returned to the base. And they mentioned the destruction of at least one Buk launcher in the earlier attack.
I did not hear anything about a cease fire. But I agree, it's quite probably that the Russians are not really serious about this.We should not.
Immediately after the announcement of the talks, at least two missiles were launched from the territory of Belarus. One has stricken the airfield in Zhytomyr, another one - Chernihiv downtown.
Not reporters, but I expect all 30+ million Ukrainian adults have a cell cam.But seriously, do not expect foreign reporters to be present at the real fighting scene.

Yes, but you can't operate a weapon AND film with a cell phone. And if you're in combat, your teammates won't thank you for futzing around with a cell phone when you're supposed to be fighting.
As for non-combatants, they should rightly be hiding as far from the fighting as they can manage.
Yes, and some footage has been shared by civilians, like video taken from an apartment window showing the Russian truck that was caught by Ukraine troops, the driver and gunner killed.Not reporters, but I expect all 30+ million Ukrainian adults have a cell cam.
Of course there are negotiations. No one is coming to Ukraine's direct aid, they can't hold off the Russians forever, and Putin and the Russians can't politically accept these unexpected losses. It's a stalemate that must now be settled diplomatically. Putin, like Asad is going nowhere.Not happy with the developments, although it seems there are some negotiations going on. Not sure how serious we should take those though.
It appears that the Russian Air Force has not been as active the past day or so as it was early on.
I am suspecting that since Russian forces have not been successful in disabling Ukraine's command and control, coupled with losing over five fighters, several helicopters and transport aircraft, they have limited their missions - perhaps waiting for successes in Kiev via the ground war?
