    I hope Russia can figure out what led to this completely "unprovoked" attack.
  • @1964mcqueen
    Ukraine does not need to justify any attacks across the border into Russia. Given the ongoing war crimes being committed on Ukrainian soil against men women and children, Russia should count its blessings that their cities have not been reduced to rubble. Slava Ukraini!!!

    It's not a "Federal Emergency". It's a "Heightened National Event" 😁

    Wars are unpredictable and the outcome is never certain. Easy to start a war but very hard to get out.
  • @Daniel-xaogjeyh
    Congratulations to the people of Kursk for overwhelmingly voted to join Ukraine!

    This war has taught us at least one thing: The mighty Russian military machine isn't so mighty after all.

    There are no Ukrainians, that the local self defence forces, tractorists, feemers, miners, simple folk, all fighting for Kursk people's republic
