Some more good news for Ukraine. The FSB (and Putin) is dismantling the military command structure. So more incompetence on the front line and at some point a shift in direction away from Ukraine to attack the FSB. Whether it is a civil war leading to a continued Federation or a collapse of the Federation and the emergence of a lot of independent nation states remains to be seen.
