Even though Edmed was not wrapped as such, Finau appears to have got both arms around Edmed's body. Also, it wasn't high and neither did Finau have a realistic chance of either evadin...

Re: War in Ukraine...
It's a good recap, it'll save lives but won't allow an offensive this year as noted. For mine the key issue now is more Ukraine's personnel, and morale at the front and in civilian life for the ordinary Ukrainians. It's tough, a constant flow of coffins returning home.
