It is depressing how difficult this war is proving though not surprising given Russian barbarism towards its own people and to Ukraine. It reminds me of the classic movie climax when the criminal is caught and then grabs and innocent person (usually some beautiful girl) and holds a gun to her head. "If I die, she dies! YAHAHA!!". Russia has no meaningful objective other than destruction. I hope Putin and all his supporters rot in hell.
