Putin feels ‘effect’ of hundreds of Ukrainian drone strikes into Russia
“The Ukrainians have a lot of methods of striking deep in Russia.”
There are already “fascinating signs” of effects of “psychological shock” following Ukrainian attacks in Russia, explains diplomatic and defence expert Mark Urban, as the UK and US deliberate authorising Ukraine to use Western long-range missiles.

Biden, either U R an idiot 4 causing Ukraine to fight their invaders with 1 arm tied behind their backs, or U R a weakling
who feared d Putin ghost in d dark of night.
Eh hellooo, yes UK said multiple times go ahead and after withdrew the green light. Pathetic
Zelenskyy feels betrayed. Russia hits with whatever it receives. Only 11 allies arm Ukraine without caveats, rest self-deter. Promised arms for 14 Brigades, only got enough for 3 in 12 months. US/NATO protect Russia better than Ukraine. So Ukraine take ever greater risks to shorten war by initiating Russian socio-economic collapse.

I think I made my point when I say the Russians are a laughingstock,
no one in the west will ever take Russia seriously,
even if the West Nuke Moskow we all know what Putin will say: WE WILL RESPOND. RIGHT?
Putin needs to go asap, there is no time in Russia for a soft Bureaucrat!
Slava Ukraina.
The US is too self-interested. Europe needs more military and political independence. We should focus less on America's NATO and more on defending Europe.
Who'd have thought that USA and UK would be scared of Putin?
They both talk tough, but stop short of upsetting him.
USA, UK, France and Germany, used to be 'grown-ups'.
The Times hasn't got a clue.
Many Ukrainians homes were destroyed and innocent lives were lost. Now, Russians also experience the same fate from the game Putin has started.
This leaders who first initiate war are so lucky to just give orders to soldiers but they themselves don't fight personally in war but hide in their comfortable habitats while soldiers and civilians risk their lives to defend their countrymen and lives of their families. Innocent civilians face death and danger, where is the family of Putin now? Because they have money and resources of course, they had evaded to other country or bunkers perhaps for safety leaving the people dying.
poutine is almost comically incompetent on the battlefield, yet disturbingly effective with the far-right propaganda he injects into the U.S. It's sad and should be unnecessary, but there won't be any blanket permission from the White House for Ukraine to use Western made long-range weaponry against their invaders until at least after President Harris wins the election in November.
If America wasn't currently a dumpster fire and the election so absurdly close considering who one of the candidates is, the permission would have been given long ago. As it should have.
Why does nothing ever land on the Red Square or the Kremlin?
SURRENDER PUTIN KAMALA WILL ACCEPT IT 🎉
Sadly, in truth Russia is winning and draining U.S finances as they are much more efficient with ammo manufacturing etc. They can put the U.S in great danger if they continue to win through attrition and expose more financial vulnerabilities. Furthermore, they've taken a significant amount of land that Putin will never give back.
Does anyone remember the day he destroyed the bio labs? In America all covid restrictions were lifted you didn't need the jab to work in a hospital no matter the job. Hhhmmm I wonder way?
The Americans have proven to be not very good allies. And I assure you her other allies have noticed. I am from Australia.
Ukraine can shoot anything in a 500 mile circle of the available targets. peace negotiations with the Russian bear. peace agreements with the gang of thugs runs Russia under Putin. another tofu dreg totally corrupted failure as a country. communism and fascism work for the autocrats not the democrats. communism works for the USA trump crime party allegedly another gang of unruly thugs.
Biden is a frail scared old man. The sooner he’s gone the better.
as long as the Pudding can sit on his golden throne, NOTHING will change!
Biden wants to see Europe step up and act as if its sees a threat, not talk as if they're an observer.
Tout le Kremlin mérite le goulac façon URSS c'est une bande d'assassin du peuple Russe et Ukrainien. Les mumpet show de la propagande Russe aussi.
UK – REFERENDUM on Mass Immigration
At some point another aspect will be noticeable – the enormous cost of these strikes. It is into the tens of billions at this point. Ii read that one ammo depot hit destroyed over $1B in weapons alone. They may try to ignore it, not rebuild or repair the sites just as they no longer maintain or fix infrastructure. I still say Ukraine will only "win" if Russia collapses due to political or far more likely economic catastrophe.
A lot of lessons being learnt here, one is the US cannot be relied on as the armourer of the west. It simply doesnt have the capacity nor inclination to go toe to toe with aggressor states like ruzz.
All the democracies have to arm up, initially with conventional weapons, if Trump gets in the umbrella will go and it will have to be nukes.
Votes will be lost to the Biden admin if American military are drawn into direct conflict,, Trump must not become pres again,,.Ukraine will certainly lose ,, its looking positive so why risk it,, European alliance need to take point until Trump out of picture and into prison..OR give them ( Ukraine ) opportunity to ignore restrictions and create bs narrative by condeming *ahem …"restrictions".. As China has done indirectly supplying compnants to putin
My question is, given the speed of drones that the Ukrainian has reaching to a city like Toropets, how safe is Russia from their Nuclear arsenal and its effect on the globe?
