The War in Ukraine

probably called the U8.

"Україна" (Ukrayina) would make it the У8 locally.

They could also do a bit of a play with sounds and spelling, since that seems to be popular with a lot of new stuff they're fielding:

C="s"
i="ee"

Ci8 or "See"8

Now imagine if this can be kept up throughout autumn, an estimated 20% taken offline in just the past month alone.

...the FP-1 long-range drone, which was first shown in May and now accounts for about 60% of deep strikes into Russian territory, is already being produced at a rate of 100 units a day. It carries a warhead of 60-120kg; with the lighter weight it has a range of up to 1,600km. Though costing only $55,000 each, the FP-1 is said to have sophisticated software that ensures accurate targeting under intense electronic-warfare conditions. Attacks are also being carried out by the heavier and costlier Lyutyi drones.

Massive fuel shortages in the occupied areas which is good for ukraine. Because of a shortage of fuel trucks, Russian forces have been using the civilian infrastructure to fuel up. With those growing dry in zaporizhzhia, Crimea, and Donetsk, their mechanized forces as grinding to a halt.

Shortages of gas are also being reported in Moscow now, and the industry is demanding to be able to produce lower quality gas like A91 or 85. If they do that, it would rapidly ware and damage engines of modern vehicles causing further issues with their civilian and military industries.

My favourite is their corruption is causing some to sell fake gas already. Depending on how large a problem that becomes we might see their warmachine die just from their own incompetence.

Russians may be starting a new push soon to get ahead of the bezdorizhzhya (fall mud season).

That pic looks like it’s from another European only meeting that took place. Unclear if it’s related to the “coalition of the willing” or if it’s B roll.

Speak of the devil, partisans are active again in the occupied territories.

On another note, pretty good results for having their arms industry broken up into tiny basement sized bits and scattered all throughout the country.

Actually, it is ...

How much they'll be willing (will and magnitude) is, for sure, a different question.
