No way.

It is Ukraine who fired at themselves.

This is all a provocation.

Russia ran out of rockets, missiles, etc. back in March....

Despite the obvious fact Ukraine has absolutely no air defense, we have idiots here claiming Ukraine is winning, Russia is losing and that there will be regime change in Russia.

“The American way of war comes to da Ukraine”.

Yes, Shock and Awe. But the Russians have done nothing compared with what we did in Iraq.

Wouldn’t it be great if warhawks like Biden, Hunter, Hillary, McConnell would put on uniforms and fight for Ukraine?

I'm willing to have them wear UAF uniforms when they are put on trial here in America.

Add to that list of "Warhawks", Putin and glancing at the responses, even some here.

I’ll settle for all the warhawks and Zelensky-fanbois on FR to head over there and join the Ukraine unit that enlists foreign fighters.
