Aye, this is when the entire mess bogs down and even more civilians are at risk, on both sides. War, it does indeed never change.
I think Ukraine outdid themselves, but small and very costly victories seem to be the only thing that happens now. Unless the Russian troops' morale deteriorates to almost nothing or the Russian state collapses and they start fleeing again.

I certainly didn't expect them to succeed at the levels they have, it says much about the sheer backbone and will of the Ukraine people. I just hope some sort of accord can happen soon as the civilian deaths and misery just seem to be getting worse day by day.

"He's dead, Jim ..." One member of the Russian opposition has - according to Russian officials - died in Gulag a few days ago : Nawalny.
Cynically put, Peter Gabriel could rename his song "Biko" into "Nawalny", because it is - to me - it looks as if that they both died a similar death, especially since Russian officials are not allowing his relatives to see his body for funeral, and, according to the news, his body is currently located in an hospital in Siberia.

Exactly how and why he died is something we will likely never know. We do know this: He was poisoned with Novachuk before, likely by Russian agents, and he was a political prisoner being treated badly.
No matter the exact reason for dying, the risk of anything happening to him was multiplied many times just by these facts. This makes Putin and his Russian allies culpable.
Let's say I were to lock up, poison, starve and beat my wife, and then after a few years she dies of heart failure? It will be hard for me to claim innocence.
