I think it’s a false flag by Russia to convince their people that it is necessary to take this war to Kiev, if not beyond.
Ukes in Russian uniforms, again?
The Russian people are long convinced. You don’t even hear the liberals whining about war because they are past stage 5 of acceptance that there are no good Russians for the West anymore. I think Putin is the problem. He is a soft ass Westernist hoping for returning of business as usual.
According to The Kremlin : ......The purpose of the Ukrainian sabotage in the Belgorod region is to divert attention from the Artemovsk direction, to minimize the political effect from the loss of Artemovsk by the Ukrainian side.
Here’s the Statement by the ‘Russian Ministry of Defense’ on the situation in the Belgorod region:
“The Kiev regime, having suffered a defeat in the city of Artemovsk, switched to the implementation of terrorist actions against the civilian population.
Yesterday, after intensive artillery shelling of the Kozinka international checkpoint, as well as a number of other civilian facilities in the Graivoronsky district of the Belgorod region, a unit of a Ukrainian nationalist formation invaded the territory of the Russian Federation.
In the course of the counter-terrorist operation, the nationalist formations were blocked and defeated by air strikes, artillery fire and the active actions of the cover units of the State Border of the Western Military District.
The remnants of the nationalists were driven back to the territory of Ukraine, where they continued to be hit by fire until they were completely eliminated. More than 70 Ukrainian terrorists, four armored fighting vehicles and five pickups have been destroyed.”
It’s such a pathetic operation, that’s almost believable
Just wonder if the SAS told those guys it was a suicide mission?
that's been their cultural posture on almost every invasion on their border neighbors for all their history.
It's never "aggressive" or to "acquire" land/natural resources etc.... but as "defensive struggle" to save mother Russia......same as it ever was....same as it ever was...
