| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. If I were the individual who authorized the artillery rocket strike on Belgorod, I would be seriously thinking about packing my shit and heading west. The Belgorod rocket artillery attack is likely to be a factor in war-ending negotiations.
[RIA] For Russia, the year ends with a terrorist attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Belgorod: a missile strike was carried out on the city center - at the time of writing, fourteen deaths (including two children) and more than a hundred injuries (about twenty minors) are known. In general, the area was shelled more than 90 times during the day. Despite the apparent senselessness of this barbarity, Kiev’s motives in this case are quite rational and diverse. Firstly, to smooth out for your society the loss of Mar'inka and the success of the Russian massive strike on the military-industrial infrastructure on the night of December 28-29, and in general, to at least slightly dispel the depression of Ukrainians at the end of 2023. Judging by the reaction of the public there, the latter was quite successful: for a long time there has not been such a level of euphoria as because of the Russian children killed at the New Year's skating rink. Secondly, to provoke - well, maybe you’ll get lucky! — Moscow to a symmetrical or even redundant response in its indiscriminateness, that is, instead of targeted strikes on military targets, the transformation of Kiev and other Ukrainian cities into ruins in the prototype of Gaza. By the way, Israel , of course, put a big screw on the Ukrainian authorities - and the West too - with its operation against Hamas : all Western propaganda is crumbling like a house of cards, since the world has the opportunity to compare with its own eyes the results of the work of the Russian Armed Forces and the IDF. So, if it were possible to provoke Russia into a cruel and indiscriminate response for Belgorod, it would simply be the best New Year gift for Kyiv. And because it would provide a tool for raising the patriotic spirit of Ukrainians, which had greatly faded over the year, which, in turn, would facilitate the process of mobilization, which in recent weeks has taken on very bizarre forms. And because this would inspire new Western interest in the Ukrainian topic - which, you see, would push the process of allocating military aid and new financial tranches, the absence of which is beginning to critically affect the performance of basic government functions by Kiev. Thirdly, strike a blow to the spirit of Russian society. Considering the excellent health of Russians and the record-breaking optimistic assessments of people of the past year, according to sociologists, this is simply a disgusting, barbaric and bloody way to do something nasty: we cannot defeat you at the front, but we can kill you and your children at street holiday celebrations. But what they just can’t understand in Ukraine (and in the West too): Russia has extensive experience in fighting terrorism—and defeating it. Our country knows exactly what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. The fact that this time we are faced with a terrorist state only adds nuances, but does not change the essence. They don’t negotiate with terrorists—they are destroyed. Or they are imprisoned for a very, very long time. Moreover, if someone is lucky enough to escape and hide in a remote hole on the other side of the world, this does not guarantee anything. Russia pursues terrorists until the last minute of their lives. Our country has already given dozens of examples of how for decades—literally decades—it has been searching for and finding those who have the blood of its citizens on their hands. And everyone else will now never know peace, realizing that Russia could come for them at any moment. The latter especially concerns military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who give and carry out criminal orders to fire at obviously civilian targets. As for the terrorist state, of course, you cannot put it in prison. This means that Russia has only one way to neutralize the threat posed by it: the state of Ukraine itself signed its own verdict. | |
