They're just liberating population that's calling itself Ukrainian!
Funny how those tables can turn...
They're liberating Russia from extremist Nazi terrorists!
They've got a lot of work ahead of them.
What a turn if the Ukrainian War ends with Ukraine storming Moscow.
…in winter, a famously amazing move that never goes wrong
If you go back to 12000 BC those lands are historically part of Ukraine so it's totally justified.
Oh that's a good twist
Fuck russia.
I'd rather not, the dirt and rocks get everywhere and it's just uncomfortable.
I'd rather not. They're such miserable bastards.
Ironically now that Russia is reporting it, I'm unsure if Ukraine actually did cross the border.
I saw videos of russian buildings half destroyed, burning structures and vehicles, random explosions, rubble and trash everywhere. Im still not sure if Ukraine crossed the border, that might just be how Russia be.
I heard Russia holds an insurmountable number of Nazis.
And oil
Oh no, they got invaded, whatever shall they do??
Hope they don't harm the civilians, doubt they would honestly.
I know right they are surprised that it is an act of war. When I first read the article I thought WTF is Russia doing or done.
I thought troops crossing borders was okay, though.
They'll get bargaining chip if they can hold it. Russia will want Kursk back, and maybe give up their gains in the east in an eventual settlement. On the other hand, it could drum up more popular support for a wider draft.
More likely they'll reposition troops to retake it, allowing for counter pushes elsewhere.
it's border
Yes. Is it border.
Is it border
Uh oh!
About time!

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
