The link post shows Ukraine has likely used its jet-powered attack drone for the first time. They targeted a huge ammunition depot 400km West of Moscow and 900km north of Kyiv.

I put those distances in on purpose because Moscow itself is 850km north of Kyiv.
It is now abundantly clear that Ukraine has the home-grown ability to do major damage and strike military targets in and around Moscow.

@chris No sympathy for Putin, but what we need is a world-wide full court press for a diplomatic solution starting with a cessation of hostilities. I followed the upheavals starting, I believe, in 2004 and the presence of US and NATO "diplomats" was notable. There was an opportunity in there to establish a neutral and protected Ukraine, but Victoria Nuland (US State Dept.) deemed it should not be so, with the blessing and support of various parties associated with the Bush II. government. It seems the situation, where two competing oligarchic wannabes chose up sides and went at it hammer and tong (was it Yuschenko and Yevtoshenko? and Lulia Timofov was part of the dance). Russia was always looking for an excuse, and US hawks wanted to pick up the gauntlet. The current situation reminds me of hiding under a desk during the Cuban Missile Crisis thinking what a silly way it was to blow civilization to smithereens over a pissing contest, not realizing that the worst time to solve problems is in the midst of crisis with hot heads and short time lines in play, but also that some people can't be bothered to do the work of engaging in a long game to work at solutions for a long future.
