You gotta love how western mainstream media, with all the connections in the world for original and exclusive reporting, can't seem to report on any consequences of Russian attacks beyond what Ukrainian officials say about civilian infrastructure being damaged.

It seems they are able to report in-depth on exclusive and interesting details from every other conflict in the world, including Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian targets where Reuters loves to constantly talk about Russian refineries being offline for a given amount of time, but never anything about Russian attacks.

Why is that? Why is it that independent hobbyist analysts like myself and others end up posting more details about Russian strikes than every single western media outlet combined?

⚡️🇺🇦🇪🇺 FT: NATO will allow Ukraine to buy weapons, ammunition and military equipment through its centralised procurement agency, the Nato Support and Procurement Agency, potentially allowing Kyiv to obtain supplies faster and more cheaply.

The move builds on an April decision allowing Ukrainian defence companies to compete in NSPA tenders.

Last week the agency held an industry event in Kyiv attended by about 150 Ukrainian firms.

The fact that the body exchange ratio is still largely the same as it was earlier this year (around 10:1 Ukraine:Russia) indicates that Russia did not take heavy casualties during Ukraine's counteroffensives near Komar, Dnipropetrovsk, and Lyman.

I still do not think that Ukraine is suffering anywhere near 10 times the losses Russia is, as Ukraine was advancing in areas with a lighter Russian presence with less soldiers' bodies to capture, and with much weaker air and fire support to help with this. I still hold that the true ratio is probably much closer to 1:1 than either side wants to admit.

The continuation of this 10:1 trend suggests that, apart from the 90+ PoWs captured by Ukraine in the Lyman direction, Russia was likely able to avoid suffering large-scale casualties from the counteroffensives. And this 10:1 ratio remains, despite Russia carrying out very heavy and costly assault operations on other parts of the frontline, especially in the Dobropillya and Orikhiv directions.
