wheat and sunflowers out of Ukraine, by airlift if necessary, instead of shipping harvests to ports.

I think Russia's goal in this is to pressure Ukraine to remove mines around its ports, leaving Russia easier access to attacking them.

Push the orcs out.

Everyone talks about the east..when the important fight is for Kherson where the Ukrainians make gains almost daily. Kherson is a major resupply route via Crimea for the orcs.

It’s not only NATO but a coalition of 100 countries helping Ukraine. Russia will not win this war.
