Putin is getting angry and frustrated by the war in Ukraine

Russia has hit Ukraine all over the country with about 200 missiles and drones, aiming particularly at energy plants. It's one of the biggest missile attacks since the war began two and half years ago and indicates that Vladimir Putin is getting increasingly angry. This is Putin stamping his foot loud and clear. Ever since 3,000 or so Ukrainian soldiers burst over the border into western Russia and started seizing territory and firing rockets at air bases as they went, the Russian leader appears to have been at a loss at what to do. His own troops have failed to dislodge the Ukrainian combat units who have set up a bridgehead for launching deeper attacks into Russia. So his only answer it seems was to order a massive missile strike to hurt Ukraine by way of retaliation.Kyiv's hope of forcing Putin to seek ways of ending the war by seizing Russian territory as a bargaining chip is not really working at the moment. Putin just hits back with more destructive power. He always wanted to reduce Ukraine to rubble and that's what he is still trying to do.
