Ukraine Strikes Back - Takes Out Russian Oil Depot In Helicopter Attack

Watching bullies get punched in the nose is quite satisfying, especially when that bully is nuclear power potentially committing war crimes against civilians.

As always, the disclaimer stands: the Ukrainian government is no less corrupt than Putin's puppet regime. But the invasion of Ukraine is an act to be vehemently condemned. Once Putin launched his invasion, Russia became the next "bad guy".

With this in mind, it is important to celebrate any victory against Putin even if it is achieved by a corrupt government. The surprise attack occurred amid alleged peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, which suggests the conversation was not going well.

The strike was carried out by two Ukrainian helicopter gunships against an oil depot in the Belgorod region of Russia. The impressive attack caused devastating fires and only injured two people. Considering the nightmare conditions in multiple Ukrainian cities caused by the Russian invasion, this was a minor bloody nose indeed. But, it sends a clear message to the Kremlin: Ukraine is not done.

While the Russian objectives seem to have shifted to the Donbas region, the invaders are not allowing citizens to flee in several cities. In fact, according to the Red Cross, Russian troops appear to be actively preventing humanitarian efforts:

“We are running out of adjectives to describe the horrors that residents in Mariupol have suffered,... The situation is horrendous and deteriorating, and it’s now a humanitarian imperative that people be allowed to leave and aid supplies be allowed in.”

ICRC spokesperson Ewan Watson

“We do not see a real desire on the part of the Russians and their satellites to provide an opportunity for Mariupol residents to evacuate to territory controlled by Ukraine,... (Russian forces) are categorically not allowing any humanitarian cargo, even in small amounts, into the city”

Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol

This heartbreaking news drives home a critical point: regardless of Ukrainian corruption, the Russian invasion is a criminal invasion of sovereignty that is costing the lives of innocents.

What do you think, is it time Ukraine took the fight to the Kremlin? If so, how far should they take it? What is the likely outcome of the current conflict? Let us know in the comments below.

    1. Joe Biden could get out of his cowardly chair and give the little guys the Migs. That would stop a lot of the war crimes.

      1. He´s too busy eating ice cream and sniffing little girls. The man is a total creep and corrupt beyond belief.

    1. I agree. Putin started this war against the innocent people of Ukraine. I hope they find him and put one in his ear. He is a disgrace just like the Iranians and Chinese. This evil should be dealt with and not by this disgrace in the swamp.

  1. We have a "David and Goliath" event going here. Calmer heads will tell you that escalating this war back to "Mother Russia" would be a tacktical f---up. WWIII is not something that ANYBODY wants! However, pushing a mouse (or anybody) into a corner will produce a lethal attempt by the mouse to save it's life. Suicide. Force Putin to save face, and get his butt to the barganing table!! Work it out boys and girls, or it will get nasty.

  2. We supplied the weapons and the Afghan army ran the Russians out of Afghanistan. Now the Russians are having their butts kicked by the Ukrainians who are not receiving all of the weapons they need to run the substandard Russian military the hell out of the Ukraine. Biden acts the role of a frightened little mouse every time Putin rattles his nuclear arsenal. I believe that even a substandard president like Biden with all of his "intelligence" advisors knows better and not even Putin is that crazy. Besides, Russia would lose a nuclear war with the US. It would be more challenging if China joined Russia. China most likely would wait to see who won before committing its military. Why is Biden supplying the Ukraine with just enough aid to keep it in a prolonged battle with Russia? Maybe we should look to the financial dealings between the Biden crime family and the Russians, the Chinese and the Ukrainians.

  3. China. Is watching. ; We need to supply them with what ever they need they are willing to spill there own blood ; do like President Reagan did advisors only

  4. The ò depot is not a bring the fight to Russia. It is a focused limitor on Russian fuel logistics, inhibiting their mechanized vehicle advance. Good defensive move.

  5. Our government has been cowardly in its approach to responding the Russian atrocities in Ukraine! We have stood by wringing our hands while innocent men women and children have been slaughtered by an evil dictator! Shame on our politicians, military leaders, this is on them!

  6. Personally I believe that Ukraine should take an area as big as Russia has tried to take from them and annex it, recognize it as an independent country. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
