RuZZia is using terror. Ukraine fights by the rules against a genocidal nazi regime. A change of tactics is required.
Murdering Ukrainian civilians; especially women and children, is popular with Russian scum. They badly need a dose of their own medicine.
This shows how desperate the scum have become, resorting to random attacks of no strategic or tactical value.
I still say that Ukraine should not strike against targets inside moskovia that are not military, however, a long range strike against a military target which if highly publicised afterward would send a clear message.
Your average moskali in the street needs to remain unhappy about the war and not develop the anti Ukrainian mindset their overlords are attempting to inflict upon them.
Based on the polling that I’ve seen and historical facts, Muscovites aren’t developing an anti Ukrainian sentiment. They’ve held that view over 300 years.
