If Russia has a problem with Ukraine's response then the remedy is simple; GTFO of Ukraine.

[raymondmaher]

russia are using weapons from other areas, but does'nt like it when Ukraine who are defending themselves use outside weapons on them, Boo Hoo.Defence is NOT aggression.

[sherrylynn]

If they don't want to get hit back, stop hitting.

[cowboy_James]

Why is Ukraine response called an escalation, and Russia escalation called a response?

[CA-tkyn]

What matters is Russia felt it and knows it. Who cares what they say. You got a little taste and you know it.

[mcloutier]

When you speak of "escalation" you are following the RF script. How much more escalated can you get after launching war, committing atrocities and terrorizing a country? I mean, geez.

[pancake]

I don't have to escalate. Russia needs to just leave Ukraine and go home. The war stops it's that simple.

[pauljury]

Russia started it... and now they are crying like a real cry baby bully

[allanfloyd]

All Russia needs to do is get the hell out of Ukraine.

[benwilson]

Yes it is disruptive when victims fight back.

[richardreyes]

Maybe if they don’t want escalation they should just leave Ukraine and go back home lol

[johnwilsdon]

But it is not just USA, England and France. It is Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, Norway, Finland, and Sweden, et. al.. - Do the folks in the Kremlin have no idea what they have wrought?

[StudioVoodooMusic]

Russia can just remove their troops from Sovereign Ukraine and there's no problem. It's like blaming France for WWII.

[johnathandavis]

If Russia wants these missile strikes to stop, all they have to do is get out of Ukraine, including Crimea -simple. Putin is through...

[tkrdg]

Poohtin escalated the war 8:33 8:34 by bringing in North Korean soldiers, which infuriated Mr. JB and decided to teach them a lesson

[jaredp]

1. Putin claims the missiles were shot down when they can’t even shoot down half of Ukraine drones that are slow af and u can here them coming 10 miles away. 2. This will escalate the war. Russian can’t even beat Ukraine let alone NATO🤣

[Noneofyourbizniz]

The U.S. doesn’t speak about its nuclear capabilities. They r always ready and Putin knows that. We dont need to brag about using nuclear weapons. It’s best to work in silence.

[medeology]

ATACMS are short range, not long range. Longer short range, but still short range.

Stay strong, beautiful Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦❤️
