Russia accuses Ukraine of helicopter strike in Russian territory

A fire broke out at a fuel depot in Belgorod, a Russian city near the Ukrainian border, which the regional governor said was caused by an air strike from Ukrainian helicopters. CNN is unable to verify this claim. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense told CNN it had no information about the incident. #CNN #News

    1. @Dèvèn There was once a country called Russia. They fought well, they died well. The West has been using a light approach against Russia via economic sanctions. But they’ve always said that MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) is the line for mass destruction. Russia might see some of the more indiscriminate and heavy handed measures in the coming days.

    1. @Vincent Echevarria, They’re losing anyway. Russia can’t even make their own computer chips for their drones.

  1. I never realized that the rules of War were that it was not nice to attack the side that is bombing you.

  2. How dare you hit a valid military target in our territory while we’re shelling residential neighborhoods targeting children in your territory.

    1. @EccentricBubbles Actually, it’s even worse than that. The Russian GPS was dependent on the 4G system in country, which they almost completely destroyed during the opening hours of their attack. The Russians are using the same methods for targeting artillery that were being employed during WW2. When one is using area weapons like Grad rocket artillery, this doesn’t bode well for much in the way of accuracy.
      Of course, Ivan doesn’t care. These are the same indiscriminate tactics that were used by the Russians in Chechnya and Syria when their attempts at mobile warfare failed.

    2. @Rob Ashton That doesn’t even matter. It’s impossible for them to be targeting military, but end up hitting residential areas and children hospitals. They were targeting civilians.

  3. Can you imagine a nation invading another nation… Attacking and killing hundreds if not thousands of people…

    And then have the balls to “accuse” someone of something and act the victim? O.o

    1. @MOG its not about mathmatically drawing a symbol, its about having a symbol artistically close enuff to excite a mass of sheeple… u gotta apply real world logic to this lol, this is a real life russian political propaganda war, not a game of pictionary

  4. The Mil Mi-24 is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and has been operated since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force and its successors, along with 48 other nations.

  5. Imagine staring a fight with someone and then acting suprised when they punch you in the face .

    1. @The Bottom Rung Dopps You simply do not have the opportunity to perceive reality as it is. You may not be able to perceive reality. Yours faithfully.

    2. There’s a Russian saying that goes something like ‘you punch me, I’ll punch you right back’.

  6. There’s nothing stronger than fighting for your home and lives of your families and fellow country man and women!So much respect to Ukrainians!God be with you all!

    1. Nelson, the bully on the Simpsons, once complained, “Hey! You made me bleed my own blood!”
      Russia’s outraged for the same reason.

    2. And, nothing weaker than sending an untrained army with poorly maintained equipment and poor logistics into a war in which the Russians were told they would be welcomed attacking their relatives. In other words, unwilling attackers.

  7. “But….. but….. WE are supposed to be the ones doing the attacking of fuel and supply installations!” – Russian Ministry of Defence

  8. Oh my goodness. Imagine that, a air strike that destroyed oil depot’s. Russian soldiers have murdered innocent men, women and children in their own sovereign country. Now, what were we talking about? Huge shrug! 😳

  9. So, Russia attacks Ukraine then has the nerve to be offended when they get attacked back? Hey Russia, you wanna know how to avoid situations like this? Don’t invade neighboring, sovereign nations that haven’t done anything to you.
