China is not going to throw in its lot with Russia. Are people crazy? On the first day of this war official media put out a top trending hashtag on Weibo quoting one of Xi's earlier speeches about how peace and cooperation are humanity's future despite temporal setbacks. Could it be any clearer? What Putin's doing was judged as going against the tide of history. China will preserve its relation with Russia. It will not condemn Russia. It will help Russia economically once the war ends. But don't expect China to support Russia openly now that it's actively waging war.

Mariupol is now completely surrounded in a pocket, the defenders are negotiating with DPR forces at this moment. It's likely some of them will surrender, the remaining who wish to hold out can probably look to some TOS-1.
Russian MOD is also claiming air supremacy over Ukraine and Su34s are now flying low level over Ukraine. It looks Russia is getting pieces put in place for something, anyways.
Also, MOD says RuAF now also claim all Ukrainian Buk missiles are now destroyed. SEAD mission is complete and they are switching to ground support.
So su34 immune to stinger?
I was wondering when those would show up. No actual footage or report of them until now.
They fly high, fly fast, have PGM capability and a ground targeting radar.
Su-34 flight ceiling: 17 km
Stinger: 3.8 km
How about the Ukrainian AF? I still think Russia may need to be careful with using air power for now.
would be a shame if they gave the ghost of kiev more cannonfodder

waiting for a TB2 or Ukrainian tank buster team ?
