Well politically no.
Uh the Kremlin continues to insist this war is being won.
In fact, uh President Vladimir Putin was recently on television talking about how Russians had victory in their DNA.
But there's no question that what Ukraine euphemistically calls long range sanctions have brought the war home to Russians in new ways, and that's adding to exhaustion from more than four years of war, repression and sanctions.
Well, you know, we have uh parliamentary elections coming up in September, and and some form of opposition to the war would seem a potent political issue, but it it's not on the ballot.
Uh the lone openly pro-peace party, uh party called Yabloka, was barred from participating by the Supreme Court earlier this month, even as its supporters gathered outside.
Meanwhile, one of the party's liberal stalwarts, a man by the name of Lev Schlossberg, is widely expected to be convicted and sentenced to a long prison term today.
Say uh the formal charge against Schlossberg is denigrating the Russian army, although his supporters would say he's being punished for his pacifism, and that his case i is just another version of the same message that anti war views won't be tolerated.
Thank you.
Ukraine attacked warehouses of the online retailer Wildberries, a company often considered Russia's version of Amazon.com.
This time, drones targeted a Wild Berries facility in Ekaterinburg, the main city in Russia's Ural Mountains.
Kiev has justified the strikes by accusing Wild Berries of providing drone technology and other components to Russia's military, a claim the company denies.
The attacks have also come in addition to months of Ukraine targeting Russia's energy infrastructure.
In the latest, authorities in the Siberian city of Chumen said drones struck an oil refinery without detailing the scale of the damage incurred.
