Ukrainians strike Belgorod fuel depot two days after blowing up an arms cache there, and Russia says this isn't conducive to peace talks.

Excellent short thread from Mark Hertling about the strike on Belgorod.

"Deep Strike"

Weeks ago I speculated about a daring Doolittle-Style raid into Russia to shake Russian confidence and bring the war home to them. I was thinking about something deeper, but this will do!

Mrs pj said news reports this morning said the attack in Belgorod was done by the Russians and that US intelligence said two days before the strike that the Russians were planning such a "false flag" attack on their own facility.

Let's see some hard evidence that it was one side or the other.

Poroshenko was on Smerconish this morning and he wasn't confirming nor denying that the report that the Ukrainians did it.

No matter who bombed that Russian depot, that's not a bad position for the Ukrainians to take.

Retreating Russian Soldiers ...

Stealing everything they can lay their hands on.

I suspect the ones in this APC met a grisly and richly deserved fate.

Ukraine took out one of Russia's most advanced planes near Kharkiv yesterday. Lotsa nice scrap metal available.

And there are reports that Russians are leaving mines and booby-traps.

I thought that was a violation of international law.


Reports are they are stealing booze and it's possible that some Ukrainians might have been storing "other chemicals" in booze bottles.

Since when has that stopped either a Soviet or Russian military?

Now we have ...

Outright massacres

in Bucha, by retreating Russian forces.



I want to see stepped up shipments of weapons to Ukraine that aren't strictly "defensive." They need surface to ship missiles to start taking out Russian Black Sea ships that are shelling Odessa, fighter aircraft that could penetrate into Russia to destroy infrastructure (like moving trains full of Russian vehicles and personnel), and medium range missiles that can also interrupt troop movements well inside of Russia.
