“We’ve invaded, kidnapped, raped and murdered these people for nearly two years, and they had the audacity to fire back.”
Unless that smackdown was literal, I’m not impressed. Somebody go get Stone Cold out of retirement.
Color me shocked. Some terrorists hate it when you call them out for being…terrorists.
When I was younger, Russians lost men after eating at my mom caffe during the Chechen war. Than blamed it on the women who cooked the meals and arrested them. Tortured them in jail, I remember being confused because my mother is blind. The Russian men died, because they got flanked by chechen army. I remember seen my mother in jail and her fingers being all bent sideways, I remember her back had huge bumps like a softball.
They always try to find people to blame, will never admit to their own mistakes. If spoken out against, you will most likely have an accident.
Not much of smackdown after reading the article. Meh.
The way I see Russia, is the school yard bully, threatening everyone and stealing pocket money, until someone steps up and pops him one right in the mouth, and the little shit runs home crying to mum and dad about “Getting picked on”.
They are right, Russia started this, now Ukraine has given them a bloody nose, they are crying like babies, that Ukraine is doing the same back to them.
Too early to know for sure but my feeling is that Belgorod was a false flag attack anyway (which doesn’t make it any better for the people killed and hurt). It doesn’t fit the strategy that Ukraine has been using, the official Russian response has been very fast and coordinated and the troll farms are pushing it hard.
God, it’s like there’s a war between the two or something!
When the unofficial motto of Russia is “Then it got worse”, you’re not going to find an empathetic population.
That lack of empathy is might why we’re in this situation.

“*If it weren’t for the work of air defense in Ukraine, there would be no casualties among the population*” – Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya

Smacked down? Since when did geo-politics become a wrestling show?
Russia said [Ukraine attacked the city on Saturday](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/26151) with missiles and rockets and used widely prohibited cluster munitions, killing at least 21 people and wounding dozens more, according to local authorities.
It was “a terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime against a civilian city,” Russia’s ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said during the emergency meeting requested by Moscow to specifically discuss the attack.
What the Russian representatives glossed over was their [massive attack against multiple Ukrainian cities](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/26084) a day previously that killed 30 civilians across country.
Most permanent [UN Security Council](https://www.kyivpost.com/topic/un) (UNSC) members were quick to dismiss Russia’s claims, pointing out Moscow had started the war and could end it at any time by withdrawing its troops from Ukraine.
The British envoy Thomas Phipps said London “deeply” regrets any civilian losses, but also called out Moscow for having started the war with an invasion two years ago, AFP reports.
“There are hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers in Ukraine. There is not a single Ukrainian soldier in Russia,” he said.
“If Russia wants someone to blame for the deaths of Russians in this war, it should start with President Putin.”
Phipps likewise said that Russia was the side to blame for targeting non-combatants, saying: “After having failed to defeat Ukraine militarily, Russia has now turned to indiscriminate attacks on civilians.”
The US representative John Kelly also put the blame squarely on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“This is (Putin’s) war, it is his choice,” he said. “Russia could end this war today… We call for the protection of all civilians on all sides of every conflict.”
The French envoy Nicolas de Riviere said Ukraine was simply defending itself under UN laws, while Moscow was “trampling” over the UN Charter.
Ukraine’s ambassador to the UN Serhii Dvornyk said that “as long as this war, unleashed by the Kremlin dictator, endures the toll of death and suffering will continue to grow.”
“As Ukraine is still recovering from yesterday’s horrendous strikes, new raids of Russian terror persist. Just hours ago… [Russia again terrorized Kharkiv](https://www.kyivpost.com/post/26157) with its S-300 missiles hitting a residential area.”
Ukraine, which has been resisting a Russian invasion for nearly two years and earlier this week came under a huge Russian missile and drone assault, has not officially commented on the strike against Belgorod.
Belgorod lies about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the border with Ukraine and has been repeatedly struck by what Moscow says is indiscriminate shelling by Kyiv’s forces.
“As the war continues we will see more Ukrainian and Russian civilians killed,” said UN assistant secretary-general Mohamed Khiari, warning there were “very real dangers of escalation and spillover of this war.”
TL;DR: So so sorry for your losses. Anyway, Ukraine has no troops in russia, russia is invading Ukraine and daily shelling, so GTFO of Ukraine could be an easy solution.
What the fuck does that even mean. Can you use actual words to describe what happened instead of sensationalist bullshit like RUSSIA BEAT DOWN, RUSSIA SMACKED AROUND. Are you stupid?
People forget that just in the early 90s Russia went through a catastrophic social and political collapse after decades of being told they were the best country on earth. I cannot imagine what that would be like and the culture and society that was built from that. I think the Russian people are incredible; some of the brightest most artistic hard working and tough people on the planet. I hope with Putin dead, he’s 71 so within the somewhat near future, they can start to change course.

After nearly [two years of bombarding Ukrainian cities](https://www.kyivpost.com/topic/war-in-ukraine) and killing civilians on a daily basis, [Russia](https://www.kyivpost.com/topic/russia) on Saturday used its seat on the UN Security Council to accuse Kyiv of a conducting a “terrorist attack” on civilians in Belgorod.
