Or does this give Russia an excuse to go full tonto and nuke 'em for putting the homeland under threat?

Ukraine have had a couple of strikes on Russia proper - they attacked an airstrip with a ballistic missile and there was a drone strike on a fuel train as well. There was also a rumour a few days ago about explosions at an ammunition depot in Belgorod, I think, but no-one claimed it. Some people have claimed, with no evidence, that there are Ukrainian sabotage units working inside Russia. I don't think the Ukrainians have officially claimed any of the strikes inside Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 If this clip turns out to be legit, there's not much doubt it was Ukrainian helicopters, which begs the question of exactly how good Russian air defences are: This clip (not for the faint hearted as there is a dead body at one point) is alleged to be taken today in a recently liberated town called Ivankiv north of Kyiv. The Russians appear to be withdrawing completely from the Kyiv area: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 The defence of Kyiv has been an epic achievement. Overwhelming material odds stacked against them. But courage and a lot of skill, especially in small units, extracted a cost Russia could not bear. They pulled the VDV out of a few days ago, so this was either planned or expected. With Ivankiv in Ukrainian hands there is no real way to supply any troops left in Bucha or Hostomel. So the pull out from there signals the end of that salient. As everyone now expects everything focussed in the Donbas for Russia. Ukraine has confirmed Izyum has fallen. Still last nights collapse in Kyiv feels very important for the war and the future of Ukraine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
