I posted some weeks ago that they ought to hit the Kerch Strait hard.  This is a good start, even if it only proved symbolic.

Symbolism is important.
Demonstrates the occupier is vulnerable and it is a slap in Putins face to make a mess of his most prized accomplishment after his annexation of Crimea.

Ah yes, guerilla warfare, it's how all who have ever invaded Afghanistan have been defeated.

Russia has appointed new military leaders to deal with Ukraine. Things are gonna get worse for Ukraine.
Ukraine needs to get down and dirty before it's too late.
...before Russia nukes them, as it will now surely do.
Ukraine needs to send prisoners serving life sentences into Russia as bombers, blow stuff up, as much as possible, "Dirty Dozen" style, that bridge bombing wasn't really successful.
Gotta cut off Russia's supply lines to its troops in Ukraine.
Ukraine should warn Russia that if it fires nukes at Ukraine all hell will break loose in Russia.

Anyone who has watched Servant of the People would have severe difficulty picturing Zelenskii as a dictator.   

Dictators don't usually hanker to be the butt of jokes. 

And they usually run for cover when wars start.  Z did just the opposite.

But dictators like Zelensky do shut down all opposition media and ban opposition political parties. He boasts Russia would have to kill every single citizen of Kyiv to get to him. What a leader!
On the day he fired his Attorney General and CIA Director he found time to pose for a portrait spread for American fashion magazine Vogue. What a man!
And now, just in case Uncle Sugar may wake up to his real character he is cozying up to China for another pipeline for money. It is no secret that only about 30 per cent of our borrowed money ever makes it to the Ukrainian front lines Zelensky is so corrupt.

But maybe Uncle Sugar is waking up.

Thomas Friedman in the New York Times had a warning recently.

Dear reader: The Ukraine war is not over. And privately, U.S. officials are a lot more concerned about Ukraine's leadership than they are letting on. There is deep mistrust between the White House and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky

We Are Close to Nuclear Armageddon

Probably.
It's what now-departed mommy dearest told a much younger bambu.
"Don't worry (about invasion horrors etc)...next war will be "one flash and you're ash".

Seems the "flashing and ashing" creeps ever closer.

Zelensky sounds like those other brutal dictators Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt
Your prose, however, sounds a lot like Mike Huckabee.

Thomas Friedman... is he still relevant?

Where are all the missiles, tanks, big missiles, planes etc promised to Ukraine by Europe/West?
Why are there still Russian war planes in the sky over Ukraine?   still turning Ukraine into rubble.

Ukraine is kicking the shit out of Russia.

It was a strategic disaster and, in part because of Putins personal identification with the bridge, a symbolic disaster as well, in a war where symbols matter to the morale of a restive Russian population, on the one hand, and to Ukraines  Western supporters, for whom highly visible gains for Ukraine are important not only to keep the arms flowing but to persuade citizens that their sacrifices, like high energy prices, are bearing fruit.

Few recent gains were as visible Saturday as flames and collapsed roadways spread across Putins bridge.

Ongoing pillage of Ukraine identity.
Spare us.
When the BidenAdministration (aka Skip of Fools) begins to stop its practice of incentivizing  illegal migration, eroding the security of our borders, and undermining efforts to build effective law enforcement and asylum processing mechanisms across Mexico and northern Central America, then we can worry about the culture of Ukraine.
