Typical bully: they can dish it out, but they can't take it.

[Goyahkla]

[Tom_Emody]

So the Russians are complaining?
I love it…..you could quit war if it’s a problem for you….!

Attack where the enemy is not, choose your battlefield, and create dilemmas, not problems. I'd say this is a master level class on how to fight a war.

Thank you so much for showing Crimea as Ukrainian territory in your map. Well done ABC!

they can dish it out, but they can't take it.

Ukraine just giving Russia what they did to them. Karma

[mojofo]

My thoughts- Ukraine is showing the Russian people what they have been doing to THEM. Giving them a taste of their own medicine in a way...

[JaneDoe-velr]

They reap what they sow. God sped Ukraine.

[johnniemcbride]

Russia shouldn't have attacked Ukraine. You reap what you sow. No sympathy for Russia. None!

[leoralev]

It's called special operation and denazification in Russia

[owenkelsey]

You can’t call this anything other than sweet karma.

[blunttz]

Oh well Russia look what you did to Ukraine stop crying already

[Benito-fnip]

Sending positive energy for UKRAINE 's total success.

[lunabranwen]

What comes around goes around. Now they know how it feels

[kingirisnetwork]

What’s concerning is the civilians caught in the middle of this war on both sides.

[northuniverse]

Is not special military operation, is very special military operation

[stephensuddick]

The Russian people should have declared a national emergency in the kremlin two years ago and acted appropriately.

[jmo]

I am so glad that ukraine is finally getting some help to fight back.
