I have to admit that I have never seen the word "smithereens" used before, to describe a battlefield situation.

Certainly not in a news article.

I just don't think this thread will survive much longer.

Well, it's part of the ongoing situation.

Personally, Ukraine will endure with or without U.S. support.

Poland, Latvia, Lithonia, Estonia and Finland have expressed unwavering support, no matter what.

Several European nations are considering sending troops, especially in light of the recent move by Russia incorporating DPRK troops.

This is history unfolding and I suspect that the events in next several months will be one for the books.
