That seems logical. Attack Russian oil infrastructure. Probably hurts their cash flow more than anything. That is interesting because Russia makes 1 billion a day in oil and gas profit to fund their Army supply and operations. Clandestine attacks on oil and gas infrastructure make sense.

Using smart weapons to target command and control centers is another logical strategy.

Turkey, Romania and Bulgarian Navies are helping in the Black Sea by clearing mines set by the Russian Navy. Cruise missiles to target the Russian Black Sea Fleet is helping. I think the Kurtz bridge should be taken out completely.

Putin over 20 years has also amassed a fortune of 200 billion dollars ( estimate according to Bill Browder, who did business in Russia for many years, also responsible for the Magninsky Act, Author Red Notice). So, we should also just allocate the frozen Russian accounts and oligarch accounts of 300 million to go to Ukraine to pay for more western weapons.

Even if tfg wasn't so pro Russia Pro Putin, I don't ever see him capable enough to make war time decisions. And Looking forward, his wealth depleted by lawsuits, he would use US Policy as a way to selfishly restore his wealth. He should never be allowed to have any seat at any office let alone the presidency.

The Kurtz bridge must be very well protected as I'm sure it's been a target for most of the war. I wish the F-16s would be deployed in Ukraine. That could really help.

I'm guessing the war has put a dent in Putin's 200 billion especially those funds frozen offshore.

At the end of WWII the allies bombed Dresden killing tens of thousands of German civilians. It would be nice to see the Ukrainians bomb each of the known Putin mansions as well as his armored train. Some civilians would be killed, but it would send Putin the message that none of his assets are safe.
