Ukraine has opened a new front in its battle to drive out the Russian invader - in Russia. But it is oddly coy about admitting that it has sent troops, fired artillery, and flown drones into its neighbor’s territory.
The operations of Russian citizens, carrying Ukrainian military ID, wearing Ukrainian uniforms and attacking from Ukraine, remain officially opaque. It is Kyiv’s contribution to what’s become known as “hybrid warfare” in the “grey zone” of contemporary conflict.
The two terms provoked books and a tsunami of excited opinion from an army of pundits when Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014.
Back then, “Little Green Men” in peculiar two-tone sport-hunting uniforms – and Russian military fatigues – appeared in Crimea.
When it was suggested that maybe, just maybe, these men were actually Russian troops, Vladimir Putin quipped “You can go to a store and buy any kind of uniform”.
Moscow’s official line was that the men who raised the Russian flag over Simferopol and stormed Crimea’s local parliament were “self defense units” of pro-Russian Ukrainians anxious to bring their territory under Moscow’s rule.
By the time Moscow admitted that its troops were actually in Ukraine, a large chunk of the former Soviet 14-year-old nation was under Putin’s control.
Now, on a small scale, Ukraine is adapting those same tactics to try to secure strategic effect.
The Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom for Russia Legion – which fall under Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence structure – have been conducting short cross-border raids into Russia.
The principal aim? Destabilization.

How dense you are pops. You can't insult me with that since I'm not a Putin fan boy. You ukeNutz are fans of all of this though. Fail, defining the neocon way for decades. Go fetch your scraps from your masters.
Why are you repeating this lie?
8,895 Ukrainian civilians killed as of May 21, 2023
15, 117 injured
(the numbers could actually be higher)
The Ukrainians aren’t doing anything in Russia...it’s those pesky Little Green Men!
Give ‘em hell Pops!
CNN - Benghazi consulate was attacked because of a youtube video
CNN - Trump Hired Prostitutes in Moscow to Pee on Obama’s bed
CNN - Trump had a secret server at Alpha Bank to communicate with Putin
CNN - Trump hosted Russian spies in his office
CNN - Hunter Biden’s laptop was created by the Russians
CNN - says BLM race riots across America “mostly peaceful.”
CNN - says Covid will kill 20% of Americans

Keep it up, @ss-clown
The long lost Cheney sister chimes in.
Soviet tool.
Ms Cheney, if I call you a globohomo supporting Bidenista, can I get added to your list?
Yup, you’re a Soviet tool.
Alternatively, these may be diversionary. Prick the bear here and there and they may withdraw troops from the front to protect the border regions, thinning out the front. That may help the projected Ukrainian offensive, particularly if the troops withdrawn are reserves intended to blunt said attacks. It also helps if the raiding troops are actually Russian so that the Ukrainians can state that no Ukrainians entered Russian soil - better PR.
You didn't answer my question Ms Cheney.
By having military targets among civilians perhaps?
Why do you keep posting that lie? It is just a fake talking point from Russian propaganda offices.
I have posted evidence showing it is false to you many times, but you still repeat the lie.
Is that what you have to do to be able to get an extra pelmeni in the cafeteria?
Why are you repeating this lie?

Why are you? LPR and DPR sources state at least 8,000, but note huge deaths went unreported due to the war. The UN also reports known Ukie shelling of civilian centers, and deaths since 2014, Acknowledged but many casualties unable to be counted.
Naturally the West will under report, and the LPR, DPR and Russia will over report. Fact is the Ukies started shelling Donbass since 2014, do you deny that? Are you also a Holocaust denier? If so, you are a victim of our corrupted western media and their Russian Derangement Syndrome, birthed during Trump’s run for President.
My rub is mainly with the western MSM, the one Trump warned us about. The masses have no idea this war started in 2014 when the LPR and DPR started moves for their Independence from UKRAINE. Do you also deny that?
Yeah, countless thousands of russians are storming rus military recruitment stations as we speak. Be very afraid. This time it's really real. Just wait until the ground freezes...
Would mobile artillery in a city be in that category?
Like this armored artillery driving in Donetsk
If having military targets in cities excuses strikes that kill civilians then strikes against Donetsk and other Russian controlled cities should not concern you.
A moment of reckoning looms on the horizon. The United States and Europe will not be able to sustain its financial and military support to Ukraine regardless of what Ukraine achieves in its highly anticipated offensive. The United States has made a fatal mistake by assuming it could conduct or encourage military operations as it did in Iraq and Afghanistan without creating a war economy. Washington’s support of terrorist attacks inside Russia is hardening Moscow’s position towards the West and makes it more unlikely that there can or will be a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine.
