Ukraine still see Crimea as stolen from them in 2014 but I can't see a time where Russia doesn't have control of the peninsula.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking the invader in its own country is defensive. Reports of ammunition dumps in Russia being destroyed though. That could be classed as an offensive operation but the Ruskis deny it as they keep telling their own people that Ukraine doesn’t have the capabilities.

I'm not quite sure how they've managed it. That notwithstanding, I'll put it another way- would you go there or Yemen or anywhere where a war is taking place? Russian ships have already been attacked not too far away, so I can't get my head round why anyone would remotely consider going there for a holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their media coverage is wall-to-wall Krelin propaganda and Crimea is a popular holiday destination currently over 150 miles into Russian controlled territory. Until yesterday, no-one thought it possible that Ukraine could strike the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Lt says, they're quite happy to push their version onto the people, so none of them will he unaware of it. It just comes down to the fact that they're holidaying in a country they invaded in 2014 and have been at war with since, and then the massive escalation since. I know he talks about newer, longer range missiles, but, when making a decision where to go, would that actually come to mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
