Do you really have trouble of deciding who is closer to truth given the imagery that comes out of places that Russians occupy and occupied? Does any of it look to you as attempting to avoid civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure?

And why would you believe Ukraine defensive capabilities are running out given all the weapons that flow into it from outside. Don't you think if they were running out of fuel they'd just ask and get as much as they need? NLAWs and Switchblades are still a tad more expensive than gas.
