Ukraine destroyed columns of waiting Russian troops as soon as it was allowed to strike across the border, commander says

1. It’s clear from the design of logistics that Russia had *no* idea that such permission would be forthcoming, and their plans (and soldiers) were pretty much wrecked as soon as Ukraine was able to open fire.

   Somewhat bizarre that they just assumed it would not happen and took no precautions.

2. Yes! Hit them where it hurt!

3. wait till they are packed and ready to go and neatly lined off.

4. When a peace treaty is signed, there may be a demilitarized buffer zone of at least 100km from the border on both sides.

5. no fair!

6. And, as many have predicted all along, the Russian response was simply to watch their shit burn. This will never end if Russians are safe from strikes inside their side of the borders. That’s ridiculous!! They will not/cannot do anything in response. Keep it up!!!

7. I just hate how Ukraine has to sit there and make presentations and pleas to the US government for what would been a very low decision by any other western country. Like how does this even go? “Ok, so as you can see on the map, the Russians build up thousands of troops on the border, easily, and unhindered. As you can see since 2014 Russia has shown a pretty obvious pattern that they bring in large amounts of troops to the border to invade rather then defend.”

8. Insane they had to wait.

9. Good for them. The battlefield should be Russia, not Ukraine. That’s the only way to flip this war on its head.

10. Any military target inside Russia is a legitimate target, lift all restrictions asap!

11. Russians fight with an attritional style. They absolutely do not care about their people or their troops. They will throw bodies at you till you run out of ammunition. Insane no doubt. I wish this was the last we see of them. Keep shooting!!!!
