I hesitate to post anything about the war, because of the fog of war. I don't even click on certain articles here because I don't find them reliable.
With that said, I have seen enough articles from several sources that I can say that Ukraine has shifted its tactics, it is crippling Russia's oil infrastructure. Ukraine is using more powerful drones to blow up oil depots, to blow up refineries which is giving Russia a problem it never anticipated.
Crimea has been hard hit, Russia is rationing gas there, Putin must decide between supplying fuel to the citizens or to the army, Russia's refining capacity has been reduced 38%, not sure how that number was calculated but it's in my link.
Ukraine is going to win this war.

I do hope that they can push russia into economic, political, or social collapse before Ukraine itself is completely destroyed.
It absolutely breaks my heart to see the Ukrainian people suffering so much and for so long.
This war has already gone on for nearly four years, and won't end until someone gets rid of the Putin problem.

I think Russia will eventually become Balkanized, how far that will go remains to be seen.

Have been to Littke Ukraine in NYC East Village many times. There's a Ukrainian with the famous, beautful Ukraine Pysanski - highly decorated Easter eggs.
Don't know if I gave any distance cousins there.
