you, kabar, call this escalation?
as marcus wrote Engels-2 is a strategic bomber base located in the Saratov region. There have been numerous reports of the base serving as one of the main locations for launching cruise missile attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
Dyagilevo is also a strategic bomber base. Located not far from Moscow, it is the main training center for Russia’s strategic bomber crews.
Were you decrying Putin for his escalation when he started bombing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure?
We’re you decrying the US/NATO when it bombed Serbian infrastructure?
