Ukraine’s air force posted a statement saying that “around 12:00, the Ukrainian defense forces successfully struck the command headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in temporarily-occupied Sevastopol,” located on the southwest tip of Crimea, which Russia invaded and illegally annexed in 2014.

Putin is a heavy stronk genius for removing his air defense missiles from Crimea and sending them to Sochi and Moscow instead.

I wonder how long till the US gets directly involved ? Like boots on the ground.

He’s been very conservative and restrained in this war.
