Own goal

A Russian fighter jet crashed into a residential building in the Russian city of Jejsk, killing more than a dozen civilians, some of which were children.

With this single accident, Russia killed about as many of their own as the number of Ukrainians they killed with their entire drone attack on Ukraine yesterday.

It's disrespectful to use a sports metaphor to describe what is happening in a war, but it's hard not to call this an "own goal" for Russia. Putin's supposedly mighty army is not in any shape to fight, and their mistakes are getting ever more serious, and more obvious for everyone to see. Let's hope people in Russia are watching as well.
