The collective West’s poking will not end well for us. Zelensky’s Ukraine is already in ruins, depopulated, deindustrialized, deenergized, depleted. If the war stopped today, they are still looking at decades to recover.

Right, because the West rebuilds like russia, slowly, ineptly and corrupt.

Seoul severely destroyed during Korean War

Modern Seoul

We can insult you Putin fan boys too, Sparky.

How dense you are pops. You can't insult me with that since I'm not a Putin fan boy. You ukeNutz are fans of all of this though. Fail, defining the neocon way for decades. Go fetch your scraps from your masters.

Alternatively, these may be diversionary. Prick the bear here and there and they may withdraw troops from the front to protect the border regions, thinning out the front. That may help the projected Ukrainian offensive, particularly if the troops withdrawn are reserves intended to blunt said attacks. It also helps if the raiding troops are actually Russian so that the Ukrainians can state that no Ukrainians entered Russian soil - better PR.

So how do you explain all the thousands of civilian deaths all over Ukraine -Kiev to Odessa to Marinka?

By having military targets among civilians perhaps?

Why do you keep posting that lie? It is just a fake talking point from Russian propaganda offices.

I have posted evidence showing it is false to you many times, but you still repeat the lie.

Is that what you have to do to be able to get an extra pelmeni in the cafeteria?

Why are you repeating this lie?
———
Why are you? LPR and DPR sources state at least 8,000, but note huge deaths went unreported due to the war. The UN also reports known Ukie shelling of civilian centers, and deaths since 2014, Acknowledged but many casualties unable to be counted.

Naturally the West will under report, and the LPR, DPR and Russia will over report. Fact is the Ukies started shelling Donbass since 2014, do you deny that? Are you also a Holocaust denier? If so, you are a victim of our corrupted western media and their Russian Derangement Syndrome, birthed during Trump’s run for President.

My rub is mainly with the western MSM, the one Trump warned us about. The masses have no idea this war started in 2014 when the LPR and DPR started moves for their Independence from UKRAINE. Do you also deny that?

“The Ukie cross border raids do effectively unite the Russian people against NATO and the West.”

Yeah, countless thousands of russians are storming rus military recruitment stations as we speak. Be very afraid. This time it's really real. Just wait until the ground freezes...

Would mobile artillery in a city be in that category?

Like this armored artillery driving in Donetsk

If having military targets in cities excuses strikes that kill civilians then strikes against Donetsk and other Russian controlled cities should not concern you.

A moment of reckoning looms on the horizon. The United States and Europe will not be able to sustain its financial and military support to Ukraine regardless of what Ukraine achieves in its highly anticipated offensive. The United States has made a fatal mistake by assuming it could conduct or encourage military operations as it did in Iraq and Afghanistan without creating a war economy. Washington’s support of terrorist attacks inside Russia is hardening Moscow’s position towards the West and makes it more unlikely that there can or will be a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine.

MOSCOW, May 31 (Reuters) - First-quarter net profit of Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft (ROSN.MM) rose by 45.5% from the previous three months to 323 billion roubles ($4 billion) on the back of rising output, the company said on Wednesday, exceeding expectations.
