Interesting that out of the 329 Russian vehicles confirmed lost, 72 -- more than one out of five -- were abandoned.
Wonder if some Russian soldiers are deserting, after finding out what they're being ordered to do to Ukrainian civilians.

Putin's approach toward this war reminds me a bit of Trump's approach to denying the 2020 election. He feels like he can't back down, but also he's not executing very well and doesn't seem to have a clear endgame in mind, and the people around him are getting worried.

Every piece of Russia's seeming incompetence in this war -- the bad logistics, the desertions, the poor planning -- seems to come back to the fact that the people making the plans felt ashamed of what they were doing, and knew that soldiers would feel ashamed too.

A thread on the state of the war. TL;DR: The Russians are making a huge number of mistakes, but now they're starting to blast cities.
