I wouldn't say targeting military installations over the border is vengeful.That ammunition is being stored there to use against people in Ukraine. It's no less a target than the supply ship they took out the other day That airbase is a launchpad for attacks in Ukraine.If they were bombing civilians in a neighbouring town it would be different
Just read a stunning article in the paper that claims Ukraine has more tanks now than when war began! Apparently scavenging and fixing up lost Russian tanks and vehicles is a very successful tactic and it's all Soviet equipment they know how to use.The articles goes so far as to claim Russia has become Ukraine biggest weapons supplier.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60936117I used to work for an authoritarian boss who had employees terrified to contradict him. It was horrific. There were four mental breakdowns, two complete physical breakdowns and an attempted suicide in the 4 years I was there. When we had planning meetings with him, we would pitch the opposite idea of what we wanted so that he would condescendingly criticise us and chuck it out, giving us the result we really wanted. I finally screwed up the courage to call him a liar to his face when he tried to stiff me for a job that had gone badly wrong because of changes he'd made to my plans. Facing him down was the emotionally hardest thing I've ever done. I was shaking and nearly retching when I left his office.But I could go home, apply for a new job and hand in my notice. What the f**k do the head of the FSB or the armed forces do when faced with a boss like Putin?
Another link, apposite word, for those interested in the complicity of sections of the UK political establishment with the actions of Russia over the last decadehttps://twitter.com/ByDonkeys/status/1509414334828589059?s=20&t=JqVrY4DktjeVbfoYHn7ktQBobG
Ukraine has managed to hit another target in Russia early this morning.A couple of helicopters have managed to attack an oil depot at Belgorod, 25 miles over the border. Again another strategic target that can be seen as a defensive action.They seem determined to carry the fight to the Russians. The danger here is one of these missions could go wrong, accidentally hitting a civilian site.
Reports of horrendous finds in relieved towns war crimes at their worst

Either as deliberate policy from a nationalist thug/bully, or as the deranged panicked reactions of terrified barely adult conscripts, these sort of horrors were inevitable.
General Election in Hungary today.This is Zelensky's contribution.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ukrinform.net/amp/rubric-polytics/3447117-zelensky-to-orban-we-saw-no-effort-to-stop-war.htmlLet's see if the Hungarian people really DO want to be ruled by a Putin-supporting fascist when the chips are down.
