of Russia deploying a couple of small nuclear warheads against targets in Ukraine (Kyiv plus some military target), and then saying "Tag, you're it".

Today is Wednesday and Pootin says if it's a Wednesday he might use nukes. Also if the day ends in Y he night use nukes. Also I think he said if the sun shines he night use nukes. So everyone should just let Anthony, err Pooty do what he wants.

There have been no "daily updates" nor information "readily available online" about Ukraine counter-attacks IN RUSSIA, because there have not been any.


There is ONE report, from yesterday that Ukraine may have begun shelling into Russia, but merely based on inference.

https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-appears-begun-shelling-russian-005724169.html

The Ukrainian military has begun to take the fight to Russian territory, a new development in what has been a primarily defensive war for the country.

Russian authorities were forced to place two villages under emergency orders and evacuate some citizens due to Ukrainian shelling in the area, according to reports from multiple Russian media outlets.

The Ukrainian forces have counterattacked within their own county on several occasions. As to attacking Russian cities, that is simply foolish.

There are daily updates online, you know.

The question was not about counterattacks 'within their own territory'.

The OP needs to keep up and perhaps do some of their own reading.

Deaths of Russian civilians and an attack on Russian soil would increase the support level for Russian military action.

The armchair generals should go back to being armchair prosecutors.
