There is a good bit of commentary on Twitter from Ukrainians wondering why the U.S./UK can help Israel shoot down 99% of the Iranian drones/missiles that were launched but not do the same for Ukraine.
It’s a good question.
This pretty succinctly sums up why:
Budanov says Russian offensive is coming.
Russia continues to try to destroy Kherson and Kharkiv.

WARNING: Video shows Russians getting killed.
Oh no! Run away! Run away!
Walk into the clearing and see a Russian armored vehicle. The guy named Ben in this video is reportedly the son of a British MP.
It’s definitely become a drone war.
Meanwhile, in the flooded Orenburg/Orsk region …
Well, I guess he won’t have to worry about his luxury Dubai apartment flooding.
Should’ve stayed home.
Definitely should have stayed home.
Hell’s Angels, literally.
The upside is that motorcycles are fast. The downside is that when a kamikaze drone hits you on your bike, you become a cosmonaut.
These will come in handy and bring more of the Black Sea fleet into range.

Protests have erupted in Georgia against the potential adoption of a law on foreign agents. The bill would require organizations that receive funding from abroad to register as foreign agents.
The bill has strained relations with European countries and the United States, who have said they oppose its passage. The European Union, which gave Georgia candidate status in December, has said the move is incompatible with the bloc's values.
Georgian Dream says it wants the country to join the EU and NATO, even as it has deepened ties with Russia and faced accusations of authoritarianism at home. It says the bill is necessary to combat what it calls "pseudo-liberal values" imposed by foreigners, and to promote transparency.
Georgian critics have labelled the bill "the Russian law", comparing it to similar legislation used by the Kremlin to crack down on dissent in Russia.
Russia is widely unpopular in Georgia, due to Moscow's support for the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Russia defeated Georgia in a short war in 2008.
When the news from Ukraine gets to be too much, cut loose with some authentic Ukrainian obscenities.
So when Russians bomb another apartment building and kill civilians, just call them “yobanyi pyzdets.”
WARNING: Don’t watch the video if you are offended by obscene words.
Life in Odesa during war.
And in Kyiv.
