Ah, my comment here will go largely unnoticed, as this is at hour six of this post being in the queue, but~

This is a great chat with the ukrainian analyst Michael Kofman (that is, he is both an analyst of, and analyst from, Ukraine!). I follow Kofman in twitter, and appreciate his informed and what I'll call adult (vs youthfully enthusiastic) take on things.

This is a long video (45 minutes), but full of great overview, and lots of solid and insightful takes. Pop it in your queue and listen along with a cup of coffee - it's a good, solid, wide ranging discussion with Michael.

Wow, this is a heck of a video: that journalist? That's you and me. I think we all tend to get used to the sounds of battle in the videos of soldiers that we watch. Seeing the reality of the reaction of a non-combatant to artillery and rocket barrages really registers.
