" Russian officials want a war in which Russia can strike targets throughout Ukraine, but Ukraine can’t strike military targets in Russia."
This has been bothering me too. When do we reach a point where the Ukranians just say ‘fuck this , we’re no longer just going to allow you to raze our cities indiscriminately and have no right of reply’ ?
Ukraine has already been hitting targets in Russia but not particularly overtly. I’d also like to see them more openly shell strategic sites within Russia.
I’ve been seeing stuff about NATO and EU allies ramping up their activities in Scandinavia and in the North Atlantic. I don’t think we’ve reached the peak of this situation yet. Believe it’ll get a lot worse, before it gets better for the country of Ukraine. if it’s been 8yrs since Russia took Crimea, I would expect this to take another decade before there’s some kind of resolution to this. and I don’t think it’s going to be in the favor of Ukraine. Russia will be so entrenched in the Donbas and Crimean region that they’ll not give it up.
I know they’ve given commitments to they yanks not to use that new artillery they’ve been given , but they do have other capabilities. I’d like to see it too , and hang the consequences. What more could those fuckers do that they’re not already doing anyway.
am trying to help fill in the gaps felt from the absence of @Livvy and @Magnus. Hope they’re well, their insights are valued.
Thank You @Semmy. I echo your good wishes for their welfare. 
You’re doing great, thank you!
I would post some stuff too but I’m a bit confused with credible sources…
