Just so we are clear, it's not escalation if russia targets our civilians with 100 missiles, but if we want to hit those missile launchers that are far away, it's escalation? Am I getting this right?

TASS reports that Russians have left Nova Kakhovka, on the eastern side of the Dnipro, due to Ukrainian artillery strikes. If Ukraine can enter the city, it is final evidence that the counterattack in the south is pushing onwards without a break, which is huge, huge news.

We had 2 HIMARS, 75 pallets of javelins, 5 BTR-4’s, and a whole galaxy of 155’s, 120’s, and 40mm’s for the drones... and also a quart of salo, a Gepard, a case of Stugna-P, and two dozen T-72’s. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but might as well push as far as you can.
