No too shabby for a country that was supposed to be overrun within a week…

Who “counts” the votes? That determines the winner.
Ukraine this week is receiving new glide bombs from Boeing (manufactured in France) that will allow Ukraine troops to strike targets twice as far as present missiles.
Ukraine has stated that it will continue to strike Russian energy installations including refineries, storage and production facilities as well as shipping.

Whoever you're getting your info from doesn't understand the difference between "missiles" and "bombs". That should concern you.
Your inability to read and understand should concern you.
You could benefit from the use of reference material. It would help you be less gullible. And less of a slack-jawed moron.
Bomb, a container carrying an explosive charge that is fused to detonate under certain conditions (as upon impact) and that is either dropped (as from an airplane) or set into position at a given point. In military science, the term aerial bomb or bomb denotes a container dropped from an aircraft and designed to cause destruction by the detonation of a high-explosive bursting charge or incendiary or other material. Bombs differ from artillery shells, missiles, and torpedoes in that the latter are all propelled through the air or water by a human-made agency, while bombs travel to their targets through the force of gravity alone. A major distinction must also be made between conventional bombs and atomic and thermonuclear bombs, which have a far greater destructive capacity.

The munition in question is the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB).
It has a booter stage to ground launch the 250 Lbs Small Diameter Bomb from the HIMARS and M270 systems. The SMB is a small sized JDAM developed to fit more bombs on airframes and in internal bomb bays of the F-35 and F-22.
Lots of reach and lots of boom with pin point precision for the Ground Launch version.
It's a bomb with a missle booster for ground launch to get it to altitude/distance and can glide for more reach. Relativley cheap for the boom and reach.
If they are delivered in numbers lots of Orcs are going to die from GLSDBs.

Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Valerii Zaluzhnyi presented an overarching strategy to seize the theater-wide initiative in Ukraine and retain it to facilitate Ukrainian battlefield victories despite Russia’s numerical advantages in manpower and materiel. Zaluzhnyi’s strategy aims to offset Ukraine’s existing challenges and pursue advantages over the Russian military through widespread technological innovation and adaptation. Ukrainian forces successfully struck and sunk a Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) vessel in the Black Sea near occupied Crimea on the night of January 31 to February 1. Russian milbloggers continued to voice frustrations about Russian forces’ continued tactical blunders during offensive operations in western Donetsk Oblast. The European Union (EU) unanimously approved a financial support package for Ukraine for 2024 – 2027. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Joseph Borrell stated that the European Union (EU) will not be able to send the promised one million shells to Ukraine by March 2024, but is planning to fulfill this promise by the end of 2024. Chechen Republic Head Ramzan Kadyrov appointed another one of his children to a senior position in the Chechen government as of January 31. Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Kupyansk, Avdiivka, and Donetsk City amid continued positional engagements along the entire line of contact on February 1. Turkish banks have reportedly started closing Russian companies’ accounts due to the threat of US secondary sanctions. Russian President Vladimir Putin highlighted Russian plans to integrate occupied territories of Ukraine into Russia over the next six years.

Pretty interesting. Instead of dropping from an aircraft and risking what could be an expensive jet and trained pilot, get the the glide bomb to height and close to the target as the payload of a missile were it separates and the glide bomb does its thing.
We humans are so creative in thinking up ways to kill each other.
The only way Zelenskyy will leave the fight is in a box, or through a coup. The Ukrainians are happy with his actions... and still more than willing to fight. They damn sure aren't having russia's protest and uprisings.

The World Court rules in favor of Ukraine for their genocide case against Russia, Putin and the Kremlin.

In a couple months, the world court can launch a spring offensive, and arrest him.
Putin is strictly abiding by the existing international arrest warrants on him by only traveling to those countries not aligned with The World Court warrants.
This is the very reason he’s didn’t travel to South Africa for the summit there 6 or so months ago.
