* Russia celebrated Victory Day (May 9) with respect and dignity - without a
need for flaunting "victory" in Ukraine;
* Cancelled flyover was due to weather and has happened in the past, including
as recently as 2017;
* For perspective, Russia was to fly 77 aircraft over Moscow which is more
aircraft than Ukraine now has in its entire airforce;
* Ukraine's desire for a symbolic victory resulted in a disastrous operation
around Snake Island and a costly "advance" around Kharkov versus Russian
troops merely performing fixing operations;
* Pentagon admits Russian progress continues in the Donbas, however "slow and
uneven;"
* Even Ukraine's General Staff admits Russia continues on the offensive in the
Donbas;
* Russia takes Popasnya, constituting a major breakthrough of the line of
contact in the Donbas;
* Russia will continue focusing on Donbas while holding positions elsewhere in
Ukraine;
* Once Donbas is secured, the next area of focus will be targeted (for example
Kharkov, Nikoliev, Odessa);
* This systematic approach is precisely how Russia and its allies retook Syria's
major population centers from 2015 onward;
