I notice in the last week or two that the number of artillery pieces destroyed has dried up significantly. Is that because they are running out or are harder to find as they are not firing as much due to maybe ammo shortages? Anyone know?

russia has plenty of ammo, however they don't have much artillery left or the machines to repair or replace barrels. It's making their assaults weaker as a result.

Exactly, so it's basically a NATO sea now.

No, it's not "exactly", because he's not currently having a go at NATO, and it's highly unlikely he will, until then his navy are free to use "international" waters to get to open ocian, but they will obviously be closely monitored. I'm sure if his navy suddenly starts to evacuate those ports, the west will become alarmed, but even in small movements, it'll be very closely monitored.

It seems different in the air, his jets can still fly the longest route from russian to kalliningrad airspace, but I doubt they would attempt to fly beyond that, though I'm sure they'll test the limits.

“I am deeply grateful to President Biden, the U.S. Treasury

, and the bipartisan support of Congress for the disbursement of $20 billion under the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine initiative. This critical support, funded by immobilized Russian assets, will strengthen Ukraine’s defense and help protect our sovereignty and people against unprovoked aggression.

This decision is a powerful act of justice. By utilizing Russia’s assets to support Ukraine, the G7 is holding the aggressor accountable. This sends a clear and resolute message: Russia must pay for its brutal war, Putin’s regime must face the consequences of its violations of international law, war crimes, and assault on democracy.

Supporting Ukraine is not only about standing with one nation; it’s about ensuring security in Europe and delivering a powerful lesson to any would-be aggressor: accountability for acts of war is inevitable

Russian stuff blowing up: Russian glide bomb attacks less frequent

Israel has been systematically destroying the Syrian Navy and Air Force since Assad fell. Sadly, there will be many stories like this coming from Sednaya Prison. Does this remind anyone else of that scene from Doctor Zhivago about the Russian soldiers...

Major reduction in Glide bombs due to inability to use close by airfields due to ACTM targetting.
