    Attacking russians (troops and inadvertently civilians) on russian soil… Why is that still considered defense? Am i right to assume that this is still considered a valid defense or rather a fair escalation of defense because the previous defense measures didn’t successfully deter russian troops from attacking ukraine?

    If russians get hit in Moscow, frankly my compassion will be very limited. Especially for russian politicians.

      As long as attacks on Ukraine are launched from Russian soil, it’s legitimate target. Don’t like it? Ask your hero Putin to leave Ukraine alone, pay reparations, and accept a DMZ around Ukraine on Russian territory.
