Here comes Putins make plan A to plan B. Carve out as many of those republics as he had planned early and if he has to cut and run he can claim victory.

Captured Russian pilot admits to bombing civilians, urges Russia to stop assault: 'We have already lost this war'
"I realized that the target was not enemy military facilities, but residential buildings, peaceful people," the captured Russian pilot said.
“Lieutenant Colonel Krishtop Maxim Sergeevich was shot down on March 6 and taken into custody by Ukrainian forces, Interfax Ukraine reported. At a press conference on Friday, Krishtop said he carried out three bombing missions, Newsweek reported.
"In the process of completing the task, I realized that the target was not enemy military facilities, but residential buildings, peaceful people," Krishtop said, per Newsweek. "But I carried out the criminal order."
Putin initially said that his invasion of Ukraine would not target any civilians, but the offensive has since bombed multiple towns and cities, resulting in a massive refugee crisis and over 1,546 confirmed Ukrainian casualties.
Krishtop, who served as Russia's Deputy Commander of the 47th Aviation Regiment, said he deployed FAB-500 bombs, which are 500 kg — or 1,100 lb — explosives frequently used by the Russian military. A recent video shows two Ukrainians carefully defusing a similar bomb in Chernihiv, a city in northern Ukraine.”
Russia’s military looking funny in the light. They really went to war with B grade weapons and ammunition.

Not that I’ve seen. Just happened in last hour.
For full disclosure I have been following this Reddit which does frequent updates
www.reddit.com
And for updated photos within Ukraine I found this twitter intriguing. Won’t post link cause I’m not plugging but name is oryx.
Edit I’m looking for other sources that provide frequent updates so please share if you have others. None of that nazi conspiracy Putin propaganda **** though.

Not 100% sure who's taking credit for it ....
But I read that Iran sent a letter to NATO stating that Israel killed two of their officials during a terrorist attack in Syria.

It's not fun when the only people left to rule over are those who can't afford to leave. Propaganda doesn't work well on ears attached to empty stomachs.
