What are you, a special kind of retard or something? Were these labs established immediately after Biden was sworn in or were they pre existing even during Trump's tenure? This is what pure partisan politics is all about, at it's worst.

Russians keep pressure on Mariupol; massive convoy breaks up
Russian forces kept up their bombardment of the port city of Mariupol on Thursday, while satellite photos appeared to show that a massive convoy that had been mired outside the Ukrainian capital split up and fanned out into towns and forests near Kyiv, with artillery pieces moved into firing...

You'd wonder where they got the sudden bout of confidence from.
They heard Ukraine had a problem, and no one else could solve it.
So they are soldiers of fortune too??

This Twitter handle is extreme Pro-Russian and sometimes reflect the inner thinking of Russian polity.
It's incomplete though. The Russian forces are already encircling Dnipro.
And AFAIK, the cauldron around Ukraine's main corps near Donbas has already been created. Manoeuvre warfare is over. The only thing left is whether those troops will surrender or get annihilated. It's effectively half of Ukraine's army.
Situation Ukraine 10 March D+14
General situation: Unchanged. Russian forces dispersed and slowed down. Seeking to unblock by "domino effect" (the capture of a city allows the release of forces that make it easier to take another city).
West: unchanged. The fate of the "blocked army" (35th Combined Army) is still a mystery.
Kiev: scattered Russian attacks from the outskirts of Kiev in packs of 4 and 5 Joint Task Forces (JTF) on three axes West (Boucha-Irpin)-South-West (Yasnohorodka) and East (Brovary). There was not enough critical mass for the complete closure of Kiev before the capture of Chernihiv and Soumy. Effort therefore focused on the capture of its towns that had resisted since the beginning of the war.
East: unchanged. Kharkiv still under siege without assault. Attempts to advance from and towards Luhansk without much success.
South: unchanged. Dispersion of forces in three combat zones: Mariupol, Zaporijjia and Mykolaev. Effort on Mariupol to free up forces to attack in Zaporizhia and/or Mykolaev.
Notes
Method of city capture by infiltration (Trojan horse) (cf. Hue during the Tet offensive in 1968 taken from within by thousands of fighters introduced into the city of 140,000 inhabitants).
"Saboteurs" (special forces from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? FSB?) introduced into Kiev in 2021 by simply renting flats in the city. To facilitate the penetration of Russian forces during the initial assault, provide information, assassinate Zelensky (?), take key points, maintain confusion and paranoia in the city. Insufficient critical mass in relation to the size of the city to have a real operational effect.

"The Mariupol administration has declared a corridor towards Zaporozhye...According to our information, it is extremely unsafe there. So it is extremely problematic for us to bear responsibility because nationalist battalions are there and provocations have already been committed. Just a few minutes ago, the Azov militants activated explosive devices set up earlier, which has resulted in the collapse of the house at 15/20 Meotida Boulevard. Up to 200 people remained in the basement at the time, mostly women and children. Therefore, it is extremely problematic for us to bear responsibility for that corridor", Pushilin said.

I get the impression that Putin might be finding NATO's guided weapons a little more effective than he had imagined.

- US estimates the Ukrainian military has lost a similar percentage of its forces
- These estimates mostly account for losses on f military equipment - aircraft, tanks, APCs and trucks - since they are easier to verify with confidence.
