Ukraine
Hasn’t this conflict been going on since 2014?
80 odd missiles fired half shot down. That’s still a shit load of death.

pew, pew, pew, pew!
This might be out of date as I got it from Al Jazeera this morning but they said 86 missiles fired and only 14 dead. Remarkably few, especially as some had been aimed at busy intersections in rush hour etc. But who knows what's accurate/truthful these days.
It's a stretch to say they aimed at busy intersections. If 2022 has revealed anything it is how poor the Russian military infrastructure and arsenal is - i doubt they could hit a barn door from 20 metres if asked to. They have kept the world afraid for decades, and it's all been a giant con. I suspect they have even managed to con themselves, and their current rage is the rage of Caliban.

Whatever, people die. End of.

They fired two rockets and one hit. What happens to the other rocket?
Does it just fly around looking for a target or does it just head for the nearest Skoda?

End of Week 33 of the Russo- Ukrainian War and there have been a flurry of attacks on civilian and military infrastructure throughout Ukraine.
In the West there were numerous reports of missile strikes.
Along the Belarus border it was reported numerous bridges within Ukraine were destroyed by Ukrainian forces. This was in response to increased rhetoric from Lukashenko, coupled with the creation of a joint Russian-Belarus military formation. Whilst the chance of another invasion from Belarus increased, there were no changes in posture that suggested such a move was imminent.
In the North and North East there were numerous missile and drone attacks, with Kyiv also targeted. There were small ground actions by Russian forces near Kharkiv, though these were repulsed and likely aimed at tying Ukrainian forces to the area.
Along the Luhansk front, Ukraine continues to advance towards Salvatore and along the Oskil River, taking a string of towns throughout the week.
In Donetsk, Russia committed additional reserves into the effort to capture Bakhmut. There were reported gains in the approaches to the city, though the costs appear extremely high. It is unclear if this is an attempt to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses with sheer numbers or if the commitment of lesser trained troops is resulting in high casualty rates.
In Zaporizhzhia there were no changes. The city of Zapirizhzhia saw heavy Russian missile bombardment throughout the week.
In Kherson there were further advances by Ukraine in the North of the Oblast, however Russia appears to have consolidated a new defensive line.
In Crimea the Kerch Bridge was attacked, with the bridge suffering significant damage. This interrupted military supplies to the Kherson front though repairs are underway. The symbolic value of the bridge may have contributed to the Russian missile barrage a few days later.
In Moldova there was heightened alert as Russian missiles fired from the Black Sea crossed Moldovan airspace.

Ukraine's counter-offensive is paying dividends but the missile attacks are exacting a toll on energy infrastructure

It is an interesting strategy as I am uncertain if Russia has sufficient missiles to sufficiently degrade the electricity grid to the point the country is paralyzed, as destruction needs to outpace the rate of repair which is reasonably high. Each missile used on this infrastructure is a missile that is not used on critical logistical infrastructure, particularly bridges over the Dnieper.
One audience for this approach may be nationalists within Russia, who have been calling for such action.
That said, there are reports today of a number of highly influential Russian milbloggers targeted by the Russian Ministry of Defence (whether to curtail the nature of their reporting or to halt them entirely via prosecution is uncertain). The milbloggers have been highly critical of aspects of the mobilisation and the recent prosecution of the war. Given their influence, prosecuting them may cause more problems than it solves, undermining ultra-nationalist support for Putin's regime. Certainly it is something to watch with Rybar, Wargonzo, Grayzone, Girkin and their ilk all on a supposed list.

I met a Russian blogger in Cambodia (somewhere, best not give an exact location. It wasn’t Sihanoukville though) and he said the Russian “services” are after him.
He seemed happy about that.
