YouTuber Artur Rehi posted about this as well. Speculation that it's GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs) supplied by the US, given the range and precision.

1. Ukraine taking the fight to the Russians illegal occupation.

I bet Putin didn't count on the tenacity and fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people and the support of the US and NATO alliance.

2. That and what would stop Ukraine...

...from taking limited parts of Russia as a buffer zone and for future concessions.

5. If Ukraine sends troops into any part of Russia, Russia will use tactical nukes or worse.

I am sure President Biden and other leaders of NATO countries have told them to stay out of Russia.

9. Ukraine likely has already attacked inside Russia

You were aware of that? And no nuke was used in retaliation. I think if Ukraine was secured and felt a security zone was needed inside Russia it would do it under the right circumstance. https://www.nytimes.com/article/ukraine-war-attacks-russia-timeline.html

There have also been many suspicious explosions far inside Russia.

10. There is a big difference between suspicious explosions which probably was done by Ukrainians,

and the taking over Russian land. The Ukrainian army would have to kill a lot of Russian civilians who fight back. Russian people still remember the occupation of their land by the Nazis and this would play right into Putin's hands when he said Russia attacked Ukraine to save it from the Nazis.

12. I think you tangent on the biggest reason

A Ukraine move into Russia would unite Russians and strengthen Putin.

7. Russia is being led by a madman

When will the Russian people step up and remove kook Putin like they did the czar?

3. I like this guy's analysis.

He has a really good grip on what's going on in and around Ukraine, as if in the catbird's seat.

I'm going to have to donate to this guy's network, they are buying armored SUVs and delivering them to the Ukraine army!

4. Artur is a former Estonian soldier

He's observed that Estonia gets the threat of Putin, and they have a history with Soviet occupation.

Estonia has also, I believe, given more as a percent of GDP than any other nation. Although I don't believe Russia's donations of equipment have been accounted for.

6. Indeed.

I was watching his videos at the beginning of the war. I also get the tension there, my paternal ancestors, from not so long ago, came here from Lithuania and Finland. Growing up back in the immediate post-WWII era, our elders told us what had gone on and why they left in great detail. Plus, as a military child, I saw a lot that others would never imagine. I was in Key West during the Cuban missile crisis, for instance, there were only a few thousand of us who were that damn close to the danger. People were freaked and rightly so.

Arthur is a good guy and he uses his military knowledge to aid in ways that are supportive and needed. I am glad that he has grown in his outreach and finding ways to help. I intend to send him some cash next week when my SSI shows up.

I can get behind this guy after seeing him not trying to capitalize on this but to fund raise and support the Ukrainian forces.in significant ways.

8. The fact that Ukraine is now becoming capable of doing to Russia what Russia has done to them for a

year, is not desirable for Russia's prospects.

11. I was under the impression it would still be awhile before GLSDB got there.
