  • Are there not valuable targets closer to Ukrainian territory?

    This would allow the Russians to concentrate their air defense close to Ukraine. Striking targets far beyond the front forces the Russians not only to spread their air defense thin, but they also have to decide which sites they leave undefended. Pulling their air defense away from the front, it also means that Ukrainian F-16s and other planes will have more freedom to operate in the region.

    And the strategic reason has already been mentioned: Striking targets like refineries makes the war more costly to the Russians, it deprives them of income, they possibly can’t repair them because of sanctions, a.s.o. And obviously you want to bring the war to your enemy’s territory because the enemy is already creating lots of destruction in your country.


  • From the article:

    Most recently, on Wednesday, a “congress of deputies of all levels” convened in Tiraspol, Transnistria’s nominal capital, and passed a resolution to ask Russia for protection in the face of “increasing pressure” and the “economic war” unleashed by Moldova.

    Vadim Krasnoselsky, the “president” of Transnistria and Sheriff’s former head of security, accused the authorities in Chisinau of “genocide” against the people of Transnistria.

    I’m disappointed by Russian propaganda. They should have thrown in the word Apartheid and accused Moldova of illegal settlements. Are the Russians even trying? Common, you can do better exploiting the suffering of other people!
