  1. This is how we know it was a successful strike on a vital target.

    Keep up the good work Ukraine.

    “The pattern is consistent: Moscow raises dramatic allegations, threatens escalation, and then uses tensions as cover for its own unwillingness to compromise.”

    Well said. It’s so transparent.

    What new level? Striking their territory? But these missiles have been used repeatedly against their military and buildings in occupied Ukraine. I thought they now considered these territories to be part of Russia. So how is this different? It’s not the same thing, is it? Because this time, it’s their actual territory, not the one they claim to own. Even them have still not realized what they did when they annexed parts of Ukraine.

    The reason why Russia blames UK is because it’s yet another opportunity to gaslight everyone into the idea that Ukraine is not a sovereign country.

    Call Russia’s bluff.

    Say, in unequivocal terms, that since Russia has now officially stated this attack takes the war to a new level…

    …the war is now at said new level.

    And that new level will come with more aggressive responses from NATO.

    If Putin doesn’t want the war taken to the next level, he can come to London and suck the shit out of the Prime Minister’s rectum.

  6. Russia got used to the Soviet era where they could fight wars entirely in other countries.. bunch of cry babies.

    >When asked about Moscow’s claims of direct British involvement in the operation, a U.K. defense official said that London does not “comment on operational details.”

    “Those specialists were simply visiting the local cathedral”

    Britain: *”Whats the charge? Shooting a missile? A succulent storm shadow missile?”*

  9. Russia’s “selfadefense” excuse is almost as convincing as their election results.

  10. So Russia got SCALP’d 😉

    Most of the stock pile was sent to Ukraine as its being replaced. Worked so well they restarted production

  11. As a Brit, I wish we were the country Russia seems to think we are. Like they still seem to think it’s the 1800s and the Great Game is still going with how much they attribute to ‘evil anglo saxon imperialism’.

    “Britain has gone beyond the norms of international law”
    This shit coming from Russia is absolutely hilarious. Beyond fucking parody.
    Fuck them all, I hope Britain sends 100s more missiles to really fuck their shit up.

    >”Western states bear full responsibility for the consequences of this strike, which resulted in civilian casualties,” the ministry said. “Britain has gone beyond the norms of international law and is ready… to take the conflict to a fundamentally new level.”

    Says the state which continues to hammer residential regions of Ukraine with all manner of munitions. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, Vlad.
