Ukraine will need more tanks if it is to make breakthrough
Russian Orthodox Church issues apocalyptic warning
Some “madmen” believe Russia could be defeated, but this could trigger the end of the world, Patriarch Kirill has said.
According to Patriarch Kirill, the root of the problem is that some “madmen” believe that Russia, which “has powerful weapons and is populated by extremely strong people… who had never given in to an enemy and had always emerged victorious, could be defeated under the current circumstances.”

I kind of get where he is coming from. I always thought when you see a man drowning the best thing you could do would be to throw him a tank. For example, the word "Allies" tends to mean stuff when you're in a conflict just like legitimate military targets.
Legitimate military target
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimate_military_target
A legitimate military target is an object, structure, individual, or entity that is considered to be a valid target for attack by belligerent forces according to the law of war during an armed conflict.
Any attack must be justified by military necessity: an attack or action must be intended to help in the military defeat of the enemy, it must be an attack on a military objective,[1] and the harm caused to civilians or civilian property must be proportional and not "excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated".
The legal situation becomes more nuanced and ambiguous if the harm to civilians or civilian property is "excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated". During World War II, there was a song called a thing-ummy-bob, which contains the lines "And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil, that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob, that's going to win the war".[3] Whether such a girl is a legitimate target is an area that probably has to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Listen to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin talk about planning and providing. Around a Ukraine counter-offensive. Congratulations, I think you made the above definition.
