‘Ukrainians are striking back’ after Kharkiv drone attack | Jimmy Rushton

“The Ukrainians, there’s still a very very strong fighting spirit, but they need additional Western help.”
Ukraine’s retaliatory drone attacks were able to hit targets “deep within Russia,” says Kyiv-based security analyst Jimmy Rushton.

The US should allow Ukraine to defend itself the way it sees fit. As a result of the US block of Ukraine to hit the accumulated Russian forces outside of Kharkiv has resulted in these forces entering the Kharkiv oblast and pushing towards Kharkiv!!

The USA can not be trusted! Ukraine may collapse because of the US's treachery.

[@jsimmons9969]

They've been attacking the northern border towns for the entire war. They don't have the ability for some mass attack to take out all the northern front russian reserves. The troops aren't all in a 30000 strong encampment to be struck anyways. Ukraine is throwing everything into the donbass frontline.

US hasn't blocked Ukraine from hitting Russia, its put limit on the weapons it provides. Doesn't affect weapons Ukraine gets from others, so what's the problem exactly?

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life" (Galatians 6:7-8 NIV). In June 2016, Russia passed an anti-terrorism law that prohibits teaching Russian citizens the importance of teachings in the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, to create a better world here on earth and to live eternally with God after the return of our Lord Jesus for the second time. Therefore, Russia and Ukraine are taking steps that could make this world a much less safe place. By jailing people preaching Jesus’ instructions telling us to “Do for others what you would want them to do for you” (Matthew 7:12), the Russian and Ukrainian governments are doing the opposite: “Do to others what you do not want others to do to you.”

[@stephenhall3515]

What a rag-bag 11 minutes from rank amateurs and the usual Times Radio inaccurate cliché "full-scale invasion". Could a TR senior executive explain the persistent use of an untrue phrase once and for all. Key points which anyone can research and verify:- 1) When Kiev crowed about a Kharkiv VICTORY as Russian forces had withdrawn already to tackle Donbas and the Bakhmut unnecessary and pumped up battle, the UAF and people of Kharkiv city and oblast have has nearly 2 years to fortify. Retreating UAF men are reporting than this was barely attempted and that logistics lines were never even planned; 2) Kiev ordered attack on Russia border cities against the advice of UAF professionals and created irregular forces in this. Because there had to be very secret use of US, UK and French ordnance, Kiev ordered Czech Vampyr and S-400s at ballistic settings in these attacks. Inaccuracy caused many civilian death then later Vampyr attacks revealed that civilians were indeed the targets anyway; 3) Russia had shown no signs of especial interest in and part of Kharkiv large oblast except south west of Lyman to where 4 oblasts inclusive of Donbas meet but would have been remiss to fail to create a buffer zone against what are classified as terrorist attacks and have made it approx 40 km deep based on HIMARS range but also its own heavy artillery range. Because Khariv city is just about that distance from the Russian border it was deemed desirable to avoid the same criteria and answer shooting from the city with medium drones and occasional Lancets to disable top floors of tall buildings used for radars. A part of the video show this technique (actually at Lypsi) and it nothing like the Kiev attacks on Belgorod. In general, Kharkiv city and Moscow strike deals (as history shows) and because the produce from the city uses Russian rail networks with a Kharkiv component this is easy to understand; 4) the "one hand tied behind back" assertion is false and inflammatory. When foolish failed PM Cameron was suddenly the UK's Foreign Sec by a trick of Sunak but NOT a people's mandate nor status as as MP he uttered unwise words in the same vain and ought to have resigned or been sacked. Blinken repeated similar remarks but he knows full well that ATACMS and more Patriots will not reach the Kiev regime in time for its constitutional demise. Were illegal cluster warheads to be used just once across the Russian border escalation would be close to inevitable and we would have a repeat of JFK vs NK in 1962. Would Ukraine be worth WW3?; 5) Russia began bombing roads and railways to hamper US weapons traveling from Poland to battle area at Chernihiv over 2 weeks ago and its attacks on sub stations can simply continue, with lowest personnel damage and loss but it exposes that the Kiev regime was never mindful of civilians, their evacuation or on the ground assistance. It is done by police and volunteers after Zelenskyy closed down the Civil Defense Service in 2019. Some cities paid for their own, including Kharkiv. Contributors in the video or pro-Ukraine/anti-Russia by habit and orders from RT bosses but must at least try to understand that Ukraine is not the Kiev martial law regime and that Kharkiv is somewhat different from the 1991 Rep of Ukraine. This conflict in not about winners and losers and long known issues of inequality, negligence, corruption, Kiev becoming a city state containing the only Rada, vote rigging/losing/dumping and politicians locking each other up could have been solved with OSCE help (inclusive of Russia) without a limited invasion. Or, indeed, the slower dollar invasion and purchase of the Kiev political apparatus dating back to Obama's first term, brokered by the Biden family, HR Clinton then J Sullivan, V Nuland, the CIA and the Blinken/Austin business partnership. The latter wanted to use Ukraine for a big proxy war then had to pull back a bit when the 'counter offensive' of 2023 did not happen because it could not happen. Ukrainians died and are still dying, millions are abroad as refugees, NATO force fed a false premise without evidence and the EU tried to bend rules to favor a state which ticked almost none of the Treaty of Rome boxes. For exceeding authority of office and making false promises Stoltenberg and von der Leyen should be arrested; for fomenting war by proxy Biden, H Clinton, Nuland, Austin and Blinken should be arrested. Obama tried to scale down the Kiev invasion by stealth in his lazy second term but failed and should be tried for malfeasance. Definitive war crimes in the conflict must be pursued and traced to exact perpetrators, Russian or whatever. E.g. the Bucha murders are accepted by many Ukrainian refugees as having been carried out by Kiev militias which also chased off and killed numerous Ukrainian border guards in the north Kiev basin. Militias in these cases spoke Latvian.

Ukraine fights bravely and might be doing better were they able to use the US weapons against the Russian troop build up over the border. But the West won't allow this... so perhaps Kiev should accept that (short of an injection of NATO troops in the battles) the game is up and striking a deal might be the best option before things get much, much worse. Yes, Putin may reject any deal now. But trying might be worth it, when your troops are exhausted and running out of ammunition. NATO Is not going to send troops to fight this war. Warm words of support from Blinken cannot really be of much help.
