Russians are calling for a 9-mile ‘buffer zone’ to stop Ukraine raiding their towns — but are unlikely to get it

  1. TL;DR:

    * The Kremlin pledged to do everything it could to protect Belgorod from Ukrainian attacks on Tuesday.
    * That promise led some Russians to call for a 9-mile buffer zone along its border with Ukraine.
    * But think-tank analysts say the military operation required is almost impossible.

  2. The ruzzians can evacuate all towns located within 9-miles of the Ukrainian border. Problem solved.

  3. Just end the 3 day special military operation, and the raiding stops.

  4. They struggle advancing in few key points, that buffer zone would require a very long defense line ruzzian can’t afford without losing the war in Ukraine.

  5. Sure, you just pull out and move 9 miles into your own territory. We can have big 9 mile wide DMZ.

  6. FAFO, if you don’t want Belgorod in flames then don’t invade Ukraine, simple

  7. Hahaha… oh is that how war works now? Putti Poot, tell you what, want your cities safe? Heres what you gotta do…real easy. Everyone say it with me; “Get the fuck out of Ukraine and never return.”

  8. I suggest they initiate a “special” military operation of some sorts. Shouldn’t take more than 3 days or so.

  9. Won’t work too well when attacks are coming from inside russia too

  10. How about y’all just back up 9 miles and use your soldiers to protect your people?

    No? That’s not what your army is for? Yeah, we already knew.

  11. Just kick their asses 9 miles deep into Russia and then let them ask again…..

  12. Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh, Rostov. That’s the exclusion zone.

  13. An imposed military buffer zone around the entirety of Russia might be a good idea.

  14. Russia withdrawing their troops before the country collapses is always an option.

  15. The fact that Ukraine could hypothetically (if they didn’t want to upset the West, nor give russia a reason to use nuclear weapons) attack, move into and even occupy a pretty significant amount of russian territory practically unopposed should tell you all you need to know about how precarious this war has been for russia.

    In some respects Ukraine is fighting with one hand tied behind their back.

  16. 8 mile is the official gangster zoning homies. You need to stop raping and killing peeps in Ukraine.

  17. Ah yes, the “buffer zone”. Again with this horseshit.

    Please explain to me why Russia—the aggressor in a revanchist war—should be entitled to a buffer zone of territory forcibly taken from its victim?

    It isn’t about a buffer zone. It has *never* been about a buffer zone.

    If Russia cared about a buffer zone, their primary concern right now would be their NATO border’s recent expansion by over 100%. They don’t.

    It’s about conquest.

  18. Spring 2025, after Biden wins, the Ukrainians will blow up all the pipelines and Novorossiysk.

  19. some nerve as they Israelize the Ukranian civilians and torture and murder soldiers.

  20. If Western Weapons were set loose, there wouldn’t be a Belgograd. They better back it up if they want a DMZ.

  21. Such a weird, stupid “call” from a weird, stupid country – smh

  22. As long as the buffer is inside the 2014 Russian border, go for it. Do it today.
