Russia complaining of being invaded? hahahahhaha. 🤣🤣🤣

[davidblackham]

My grandpa would say, "If you start a fight, you better be sure you can win"

[qdwfzde]

The funniest part was when Putin said Ukraine has violated the law by crossing Russias border

[ukrainiipyat]

Russia complaining of a provocation by Ukraine! How does it feel being invaded?

[borisreljanovic]

Ukraine decided to create it"s own buffer zone. The citizens of Kursk region voted today on the referendum with a vote of 99% to join Ukraine...

[MC-nyiw]

Ukraine crossed border and launched attack, says country that currently occupies 20% of its neighbor…

[wildmouse]

Bwahaha! It's almost like invading someone else's country can cause hard feelings.

[plasntawmlajlim]

Looks like Ukraine is going to liberate those democratic Russians.

While the Ukrainians are operating in Kursk, Ukrainian Special Forces landed on the Tendra Spit (an island North of the Black Sea and Southwest of Crimea), where the Ukrainians destroyed Russian heavy equipment, including an MT-LB armored vehicle, an electronic warfare system, and a significant number of enemy troops.

Oh.... so when you're the one being invaded, it's a major provocation??? So sad.

[PSA]

I can only imagine the tantrum Putin is having at the moment. 😂

Russia: invades Ukraine
Ukraine: invades Russia
Russia:👁️👄👁️

I guess Putin won't be able to travel to Kursk to commerate the WW2 battle at the end of the month. The locals probably won't be happy with him.

[unuxuxh]

Paybacks are hell. Day 561 of Putie’s 3 day special operation.😂

[CraigFine]

It's so sad that innocent people on both sides are being killed. Wars are a loose loose game with people's lives.

[garys]

Everything is going as planned.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[vidong]

They are there to protect the Ukrainian speakers who are being oppressed.
Except that in this case, they are actually being oppressed there and do need protection.

[GregMoylan-pnsr]

"Why is this happening?" Has this reporter been living under a rock?

[VRGamingTherapy]

Typical bully behavior. Crying the loudest when retaliated against.

[harryseldom]

But but but I thought last night ruzzia captured 1, 200 soldiers of the 300 Ukrainian that crossed and destroyed 600 tanks of the 10 that helped...oh my pootin lied? Shocking...
