I must have missed the bit where people started calling for Russia's destruction.
TBH it has surprised me that Ukraine hasn't carried out a lot more behind-the-lines attacks on Russian supply convoys; I'm aware of just one attack on a Russian fuel dump inside Russia. It's as if they are fearful that an attack on Russian territory might lead to retaliation. But isn't Russia already 'retaliating' as much as it can?
- vogre 5y ago>Ukraine hasn't carried out a lot more behind-the-lines attacks on Russian supply convoys It's hard to do on Russian territory because of closed borders and anti-air. It's hard to do on captured eastern territories because there are too many ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking people live here, who are quite sympathetic to Russia. And there are rumors that FSB acquired the lists of all pro-ukrainian activists on these territories from SBU. And no, Russia has not even start to retaliate.
- denton-scratch 5y agoI supposed that such behind-the-lines operations would be covert sabotage, drones or missiles - not air attacks or invasions.
- vogre 5y agoCovert sabotage is just terrorism and russian special services has quite good experience preventing this. Drones and missiles are flying in belgorod district but mostly countered by aa.
- jacquesm 5y agoThat may be so, meanwhile the Russian troops are doing an excellent and very well documented job at self sabotage.
