Looks really bad for Russia considering it still can't protect Tuapse after all the strikes. Its retaliatory strikes on civilians and cultural sites are a clear sign of desperation as well. As I might have said the other day, it's always been Putin's way of flipping the table because he's never good at playing fair.

But all of those sites are inside Ukraine? I want Ukraine to win like everyone else but this feels a bit like 'I knew we were losing because the reports of our victories kept getting closer to my home'
I am guessing that the lines are meant to represent the possible launch locations for the drones, but I don't think we have any data on that.
The map is utter bullshit and tbh I got no idea why this image was used, but smells of disinformation. Every single one of the listed locations is inside Russian territory and had never been Ukrainian.
The cities listed in this summary
- Kirishi
- Perm
- Yaroslavl
- Ryazan
- Kstovo
- ”Kstovo na bis” which I understand as “Kstovo for the encore”
- Syzran
- Tuapse
- Volgograd
- Saratov
Edit: just to make it extra clear - from all of these Tuapse is the closest to the frontline, and it’s still over 500km / 300mi away from where the fighting is taking place. The Kerch bridge, which was the 2014 Ukrainian-Russian border, is right in the middle, at nearly 250km/150mi from Tuapse
