It's already in Wikipedia:

"On 2 April 2024, an Aeroprakt A-22 modified for use as an unmanned aerial vehicle was used to carry out an attack on facilities manufacturing Shahed 136 loitering munitions in Yelabuga, Tatarstan"

Russia does best when Ukraine goes on the offensive.

These front lines are not going to move….

That's pretty much true for both sides. Neither has enough of an advantage to make a sustained offensive work. Which suits Russia...for now. If it's strictly attrition, Russia would have the advantage, but there are other considerations which favors Ukraine. Time will tell.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like they're trying to invade Russia. So I don't agree with that stance either.

Biden needs to get different advisors. I can think of 3 I want replaced.

Nobody should. But it is an election year, and the price of oil is an international concept, so if you burn a gallon in Moscow then a gallon in a swing state gas station costs more.

Maybe, but Ukraine is fighting for their survival, targets of Russian infrastructure that allows them to prolong the war is fair game, or it should be. If we as a country can't support our allies in spite of a couple of dollars per gallon of gas, then we aren't very good allies.

Regardless, I don't think loss of Russian oil production is going to affect prices that much. The world is already living mostly without Russian oil exports at this point.
