tl;dw?
Ukraine's attack on Belgorod is, according to this analysis, an act of desparation, aimed at Russia to show them that Ukraine can play dirty too if they don't stop, and aimed at the west that this will be the new normal, if the west doesn't adequatly support Ukraine to win the war by western standards.
The American politicians are likely decreasing support for Ukraine and also took a nice long vacation and are surprised that their soft politics influence on the ultrasound military/government decreased.
Ukraine droned Belgorod to warn Russia, Russia droned back.
