  1. I’m pretty sure Sumy and Kharkiv are retaliation for Bilhorod

  2. What are you going to do Putin, bomb Ukraine? Declare war? Freakin little Hitler over here.

  3. Europe/America could do this and the answer would still be the same

  4. >Russia could retaliate in kind but chooses not to do so.

    Yeah, because bombing actual military targets is so hard, you’re choosing to continue killing the civilians.

  5. They aren’t Ukrainian strikes, it’s Russian legion you muck!

  6. “… Russia could retaliate in kind”. Dude, it’s Ukraine who’s retaliating in kind.

  7. The Russians in Belgorod feel lost and abandoned. Putin just does not have any army left to protect the city. They are leveling their own houses with FABs.

    Also, the Russians seem very confused as to why all of this injustice is happening to them.

    Very confusing! Any thoughts?

  8. Is it possible that the despicable Putler decided to not react to the attack using ground troops because he knows the attacking force will eventually pull back? And if UAF gets the idea to take Belgorod….
    Just thinking, Putin doesn’t give a shit about human life so it’s hard to know what he is thinking.

  9. Probably haven’t got enough canon fodder to risk it .🤔🤔

  10. Delusional ghoul. Obviously he would grind them all into a fine paste and serve them on rye bread to their weeping widows if he could. But – he can’t.

    He’s all in, emptied the country to try and recoup something significant out of this stupid war of ego and revenge.

    And the result of that is – among other things – that they are unable to defend their borders or protect their assets. They’re badly overextended, and the seeds of revolution are planted. Not reclaiming your own captured territory is showing intense weakness.

    Prighozin actually called this quite well – he said the Ukrainians will take Belgorod, and use it as a bargaining chip. We all mocked the angry human thumb at the time, but strategically, it makes some sense and he’s kind of ended up right. Russia can’t defend itself internally – it has absolutely banked everything on Ukraine. The problem with being so much more massive than your enemy is that you have way more stuff than you can protect.

  11. But what about FAB500 all over small village in Belgorod?

  12. Oohhhhiw interesting. The rationale is irrelevant. A leader choosing not defend their own sovereign territory and people. It may lead to a groundswell of support in the areas taken by the Russian separatists.
    Sputin is allowing civil war in those regions after all.

  13. “Because we are already balls deep and doing everything we can. It’s like using all 3 inches and she asks for more – like, we only got the 3 inches to work with” -Putin

    “Wow, he has 3 inches? That’s like, double average, right?” -Peskov, probably.

  14. In other words: “We started the war under the pretence we want to protect Russians, but we don’t care about the Russians in our country.”

  15. Probably because they’re afraid to send troops or resources, because they’re all in use in Ukraine. Keep pushing I guess

  16. Retaliate by what? The only thing that left in Russian arsenal unused – WMD. And when until appearance of Shahed-136 it’s really was a variant, now such “variant” – issuing license to Ukrainians (real and as proxy) for creation and use WMD against Moscow.
