Moscow says Ukraine hit a fuel depot inside Russia
Reuters ^ | 4/1/2022 | Reuters

Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out an air strike against a fuel depot in the Russian city of Belgorod on Friday, an incident the Kremlin said set an unfavourable tone for peace talks with Kyiv.

Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said he could not confirm or deny reports of Ukrainian involvement in the strike as he did not have military information. The Ukrainian Defence Ministry and the general staff did not respond to requests for comment.

Video footage of the purported attack -- the first accusation of a Ukrainian air strike on Russian soil since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 -- showed what looked like several missiles being fired from low altitude, followed by an explosion.

Meanwhile, Putin’s forces began using incendiaries on civilians. Nothing to see here.

Sorry, Russia ... but when you poke a hornet nest, you better expect to get stung.

seen the videos, dunno.
question raised how choppers flew through russian radar defense. might think a few choppets more to black eye defenses making corridor. yet, not seeing map, would think with invasion pointed south, would think russkies would also cya.

lastly, would think russian air defense nets would have redundant communication lines, in case one or two were to nbe disabled.

Payback is a bitch.

Let the Russians freeze and starve in their tanks. Until they get roasted in them anyway.

How dare an invaded county fight back. I guess Russia expects Ukraine just to lie back and enjoy it.

Do you suppose the diplomats are aware of the Uke nuke program right now? Ever wonder why the Ukes sent a missile into Russian territory, hmmmmmm?
https://nypost.com/2022/03/29/ukraine-missile-may-have-hit-military-camp-inside-russia/

Think about all that, in the context of a very hasty nuke program. Maybe the Ukes have only, say 5 or 6 nukes. They can barely get it to fit on some midrange missile. And they might only have about 20 of those.

So they start their negotiations with the Turks in the middle. They say, “back off, or we will nuke your ammo dumps. Don’t believe us? Watch this. “ A couple days later the Rukes announce they’re bein’ nice and pullin’ back a little tad from Kiev.

Even if the Ukes don’t have weapons grade nuke material, they can send dirty bombs 10 miles and really muck things up for the Russians.

This thing could be gettin’ real dicey.

Either:

Ukranian attack that showed how inept the Russian defense performs.

Or...

Russian false flag attack on itself.

Whatever it is...I hope it keeps repeating.
