What was the expected response when on June 1, 117 Ukrainian drones attacked targets up to 2700 miles from the border with Ukraine causing $Billions in damage? Did the people behind this believe that it would result in a de-escalation in hostilities?
Are you kidding me? Russia INVADED Ukraine. Quit blaming the victim.
Not too many more ways to escalate. Besides, Russia targets not just military targets, but specifically civilian targets.
Sheesh...
