After the disastrous loss of planes in Saky Crimea, Russia moved their remaining planes out of Crimea out of fear of getting more losses on the ground. Russia has lost over 250 planes since the start of the war, and is very reluctant to use them as they can be shot down with relative ease now by Ukraine.
Ukraine also has lot a lot of planes but to still be able to fly when Russia should have had air supremacy on paper within weeks shows the failures of Putin
Outside of the Kherson breakthrough which is huge, UA has also liberated Borova today and into Luhansk proper. Add to this the inevitable encirclement of Kreminna and Svatove with the fall of Lyman and this will be the shortest 'annexation' in world history.
The new big Russian failure making social media rounds right now, that has much bigger consequences then realized, is how 1.5 million winter military uniforms that are supposed to exist on paper, just went poof. Russia's biggest enemy this whole war has been its systemic corruption from top to bottom.
