According to the governor of Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, a Wednesday night attack in the region blamed on Ukraine killed one person and wounded seven others. The incident marks the first reported casualties due to Ukraine’s alleged cross-border attacks, which Ukrainian officials have not officially taken responsibility for.
Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said Thursday that the village of Solokhi, which lies 12 miles from the border with Ukraine, came under Ukrainian shelling. “Seven wounded, another victim was brought late at night. Everyone is provided with qualified medical care, medicines are available in full. One person died. We will provide material assistance to all the victims and the family of the deceased,” he said.
Gladkov described the attack inside Russian territory as “the most severe to date” since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 and said an apartment building had been destroyed.
Ukraine has been accused of launching several attacks in the region. On April 27, a series of blasts were reported in three Russian provinces that border Ukraine, including a fire at an ammunition depot in Belgorod.
While Ukraine hasn’t taken responsibility for the attacks inside Russia, likely out of fear of provoking an escalation in the war, Ukrainian officials have hinted at their involvement. After the April 27 incidents, Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said, “When you massively attack another country … then sooner or later the debts will have to be repaid.”
This is the CIA trying to provoke Russia to escalate so the they can blame Russia for more alleged civilian deaths in Ukraine. It’s risible that the CIA thinks Russia can be manipulated. Russia has a plan which absolutely no one but Putin and his team and the General Staff know and it is unfolding according to Russia’s pace, without regard for anything the US and NATO are doing. Watch Andrei Martyanov’s video from Monday where he explains it all in detail:
Surprise, not!
Actually this would help with Russian recruitment.
No need for that. They’re lining up all over the place. Russians feel in their DNA when west prepares for another Drang nach osten and the motherland calls.
That’s true. Plenty of volunteers from Chechyna.
When you invade a neighboring country, there are consequences.
Yo, stupid. I happen to know you hijacked your username and avatar from a guy over at Moon of Alabama. Pretty much demonstrates your level of integrity, doesn’t it? Wonder how hard it would be for a hacker to track you down and dox you? Lemme check my contacts. Never piss off a hacker.
Bring it on, you delusional Putin lover. Now you are making threats over fantasies? I’ve been visiting this site since 2001 and just recently started to post comments. No idea what you are talking about but again, bring your Russian Nazi Squad Hackers on and let’s see how good they are.
It’ll be easier if I give you my phone number and let you have an adult conversation over the phone. Let me know if interested. I’m surprised you got pissed off in an antiwar.com blog. Hmm, you must be a pacifist?
Edit:
BTW, you should know there are thousands of Don Julio’s out there. Remember the movie? I guess you don’t. In the end, you showed you are the real MORON (just like you called me last week over a post).
Lastly: did you know the definition of ‘Force Projection’ before you called me a moron? (https://news.antiwar.com/2022/05/04/eu-to-significantly-increase-military-aid-to-moldova-after-transnistria-blasts/ I’m sure you didn’t, you MORON.
When you provoke a nation over the period of 76 years, there are consequences. There was a golden opportunity for lasting world peace when Russia wanted to join the Western Alliance. That was in 1991. Bill Clinton was the initial accelerant. Stupid S.O.B……………
Ukraine is an independent free country. They can have alliances and trade agreements with anyone they want. Over a period of 76 years, they were abused and treated like cannon fodders and animals by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation hence why they don’t want to be part of it anymore.
I’ve heard many accusations here that V.Z. is addicted to cocaine.
Here are few debunked claims.

It’s a war. That’s what happens. Once the shooting starts, the consequences are not controllable. A tragedy for everyone involved.
They can be controlled and even minimized/reduced. But it takes a disciplined army to do that.
Especially handing weapons to people who have not fought in wars, and there is no command structure to guide them. Bad things will happen. Russian speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas are in the same situation. But after being pounded for 8 years by pro-Kiev forces, what else is there to do?
Here, here.
One way the Press can conduct forensics on airstrikes without automatically defaulting to the Superpower Azov Battalion.

CNN is now on the war band wagon. It is known that civilians have been handed weapons, sent out to battle, with no command structure. What do you think is going to happen to them? When will CNN expound on why we are where we are? This happened in 2003, before the “shock and awe” against Iraq. “News” sources went full war, and the propaganda hit the air waves. Biden could end this war, like, right now.
Share with us your news source, please. I cannot wait to see the REAL source where you guys get the news from. Seriously.
Edit: Have you visited RT.com news? I have, and according to that website, there is no war nor special military operation in Ukraine. No one has died, not even civilians nor Russian soldiers. Basically, life is normal and world has moved on.
May I suggest that you take the time to visit a local library. Thank you for the advice. I have not checked RT in a while.
If it is true, Russia may go full “shock and awe” on Ukraine. The Russian invasion has been pretty mild,with Russian military leaders and others in Russia pushing for something on the order of “shock and awe”instead.
