HIMARS should be primary targets of Mi-28 NM, Ka-52 M attack choppers, Tornado-S MRLS which out ranges HIMARS by about twice the range, Islander ballistic and cruise missiles.

Or, if HIMARS is difficult to find, then the last resort would be to blow up the dams / bridges on Dnipr river which will prevent HIMARS from crossing Dnipr river.
Blowing up the dams or losing the bridgehead means losing control of the Crimean water supply.

We should move off the topic of morals of this war, as I don't think we'll ever come to an agreement regarding the rights or wrongs, it would heavily dependent on the media you consume.

On the military side of things, the consistent hits to front line Russian weapon depots using western supplied equipment to conduct long range attacks recently could post serious supply issues for any future Russian offensives , seems that Russia is really struggling with reprisal for such long ranged shoot and scoot attacks.

UK training Ukrainian soldiers:
The main instructor has probably never fired an AK before, look how he's holding the rifle. The Ukrainian soldier at :27 couldn't seat the magazine properly, no way a round chambered.

Instead of having 120 days training, it turns out they'll only be getting 3 weeks. This is just going to be more meat for the meat grinder. That's if they actually agree to go back to the Ukraine instead of claiming asylum which I bet most of them will do.

I agree, although the question is how much effort the UK has put into preventing from being able to claim asylum.
