How Putin's Kharkiv Gamble Backfired
Newsweek ^ | 6/4/2024 | David Brennan

Posted on 06/04/2024 9:50:29 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Russia's new offensive into Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region has done what months of lobbying from President Volodymyr Zelensky could not: secured Kyiv's ability to fire advanced Western weapons at Moscow's forces within their borders.

The Russian drive into the Kharkiv border region—where fighting is ongoing some 15 miles north of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city and an important political, economic, and cultural center—has prompted Kyiv's NATO backers into a flurry of diplomatic and military activity, with the result that Ukrainian cross-border strikes are now ravaging Russian forces operating in the Belgorod region.

"Kremlin Warns U.S. of ‘Fatal Consequences’ as Biden Greenlights Missile Strikes on Russian Mainland"

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4242105/posts

“I urge these figures (in the U.S.) … to spend some of their time, which they apparently spend on some kind of video games, judging by the lightness of their approach, on studying what was said in detail by Putin,” Ryabkov said, adding that Putin had given “a very significant warning and it must be taken with the utmost seriousness.”

No they don’t want WW3.

How about Russia gets out of Ukraine.

Like the rats Vlad would do anything to win. Ukraine is like Trump standing up to him. After 2+ years who would you bet on?

How about Russia gets out of Ukraine.

The Russian army is in the oblasts of the Russian Federation - Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Luhansk, the Russian Republic of Crimea and the Russian federal city of Sevastopol.

Not in the Ukraine.

If the US doesn't stop messing around, soon Kharkov oblast will become part of the Russian Federation.

Zelensky is a hero who has many supporters on Free Republic. Sadly, the Putin lovers must limp away.

I can already feel the pain of rebuilding it.

What pain? It's all printed. We don't have the money to pay for all of that anyway. Me worry?

Zelensky worked with RATs to set up Trump for impeachment. He has insulted President Trump just a few days ago and you tell us that he has many supporters here.

Oh really? perhaps you all belong over at the DUmp instead of here.

I know of no Putin supporters here. Just America supporters who do not support the US being involved in a foreign proxy war that is not in our best interests and is destroying our economy.

Don’t forget the foreign instigator trolls stoking it as well.
Many of the posters pushing this aren’t even Americans.

I know, they are some of the loudest and the most obnoxious. They act like we are supposed to do most of the paying and then the dying if their goofy home countries get us deeper into this.

And they pretend to be superior as well.
One in particular said exactly that he was superior.
Repeatedly.

Keep in mind that they are stupid and the superior part is all virtue signaling BS.
