It is forbidden to use American weapons from Ukraine to hit Russia. So Ukraine is hitting Russia from Russia.
-
That's what you called special military operations
-
they should take russian territory and trade it for ukraine territory and peace
-
Haha!! Take that Putin!! How do you like it when the war is on your land?!?
-
Yes, surprising that this has not happened sooner, including attacks into Belarus who essentially joined this war on side of Russia day 1. Why let the enemy choose a battle zone limited to a region of their choosing?
-
20-30 days in this speed, ukrainian forces is in midle of the Moscow :D
-
Gee, I wonder who would’ve thought that would’ve been a good idea more than a year ago?
-
Ukraine has already interrupted a major railroad supply line, and Kursk city is a crossroads that is also a major supply line that is likely now in artillery range. Further they are also closer to the airbases that are used for glide bomb attacks, forcing Russia to use or relocate jets in a threat rich environment. That this happened just after getting F-16's is not coincidental. Note that Ukraine has more troops than it has arms right now. The claim of "lack of troops" is stale. The truth is "lack of arms", which is our problem as ally and supplier. The story should be: "Where is the arsenal of democracy at this critical moment?"
-
if not for US weakness Ukraine would have won this war a long time ago and saved many lives
-
It's called you take some of their land, they'll take some of your land, trade it back if need be.
-
Be careful Ukraine!
-
Let’s go Ukraine
-
Hope this doesn’t turn into WW3
-
How do you know they're incursions and how do you know that they're limited?
-
It's a special military operation!!??
-
They got resupplied so they're back on the offense.
-
Hey what about the air defense system Ukraine put in place on Russian soil. Seems they intend to stay and hold the land they took until they can trade it for their sovereign soil - smart! Your talking head is missing a key piece of data.
-
This is much more important for Ukraine to continue than most people understand. They are doing a fantastic job of breaking Putin's reputation with the Russian people. They are also fighting where the Russians were not fully prepared with a million defensive mines in the ground. Very smart. Slava Ukraine from the USA! I also notice that Moscow is a lot closer than Sevastopol. Maybe the Ukrainians should take Moscow and trade for Crimea!
-
Turn about is fair play but now the game becomes even more serious than it was before. Of course it isn't a game. No one's playing around. Except everyone else who isn't directly involved.

Zelensky did all this to get PR. However, this offensive will backfire for Ukraine in coming months. Ukraine is currently using its special force to conduct this incursion. However, it lacks regular soldiers to hold the frontline for a longer time. Russia has more men power than Ukraine. It can easily redeploy its forces from other regions. Contrary to this, Ukraine will have to move its troops from eastern frontline to there. This will open a window for Russia to accelerate offensive in Donbas, which will eventually lead to panic in Ukrainian frontlines. So, Zelensky may get some media approval. However, in the long run, he will waste men, material and territory of Ukraine.
