Why Is Ukraine Not Going Offensive by attacking Moscow by infofta(m): 7:46pm On Mar 22, 2022 |
They say the best form of defence is to attack. With the slow pace of Russian troops on the ground due to Ukrainian resistance Russian has resulted to air strikes using long range cruise missiles and long range artillery and bombers resulting in civilian casualties inside Ukraine. With the full scale invasion going on is it logical for Ukrainian military to start launching long range missiles and rockets like Hamas into Russian nearby cities like Moscow. We all know missile defence systems are not 100% effective. Will this increase or decrease the pressure on Putin as Ukraine has nothing more to loss. 57 Likes 6 Shares |

With the full scale invasion going on is it logical for Ukrainian military to start launching long range missiles and rockets like Hamas into Russian nearby cities like Moscow. We all know missile defence systems are not 100% effective. The problem with this is that Putin will now have more excuse for indiscriminate bombing and destruction. He can even start using chemical weapons and he will label any victim of such a "terrorist". Russia is not like Israel standing on one leg with surrounding enemies waiting to pounce. Neither media pressure nor human rights concern can deter Putin. He can bomb a city filled with people and the only reaction anyone can give is to condemn and talk tough because everybody is afraid of a Nuclear World War 3. 319 Likes 23 Shares |

They can't.. it's suicidal.... ![]() Why should they? They have no means to do so and if they did it would be both reckless and militarily ineffectual.remember they are fighting a defensive war here..Ukraine is not at war with Russia ..Russia is at war with Ukraine so the Ukrainians are DEFENDING THEMSELVES 207 Likes 10 Shares |

Because they don't officially have attack weapons. NATO is supplying them only "defence" weapons. If they start attacking russia and use any NATO weapons to do so, then it is tantamount to NATO proxy war on Russia and will justify Russia attacking a NATO nation, probably Poland. So if Zelensky wants to keep getting free weapons from the west, he must never attack Russian soil with it. 183 Likes 13 Shares |

Simply because it can't. Russia has the most advanced anti missile technology after the United States. Ukrainian missiles simply can't penetrate. 29 Likes 1 Share |

infofta:i like the way you sumarised it... As Russians invasion comes to a stall due to resistance.. wooooow.. you call it a full scale war.. you get english gon o..Maybe you dont understand that aeriel combat is easier than foot soldiers attack.. full invasion is what happened to Iraq, libya. full invasion didnt happen in syria.. and you are saying ukrain launch attack to moscow.. what!!!.. missile defense system can fail yes like long range sam and iron dome s300 unlike hq-9 ans s400 not forgeting s-500 the game changer.. woooo.. hnnmmm.. Well Russia is not taking over Ukrain though western attitude can make it. its only demilitarizing and denazifyin Ukraine that which is almost done.. the army are in the outskirt of kiev.. much airstrike will be needed here after image sensing and civilian casualties estimates 31 Likes 6 Shares |

Re: Why Is Ukraine Not Going Offensive by attacking Moscow by WATCHOVER(m): 9:10pm On Mar 22, 2022 |
infofta:Thanks very much for asking this question but first before I answer your question let me let you know that the reason Russia troops find it difficult to invade Ukraine through land is because of the weather conditions, the grounds are muddy it affecting most of those Cartapult vehicles that is why it is always difficult to launch an attack on Eastern Europe and Australian countries on land because of their weather conditions, Adolf Hitler had this same experience when he tired to invade Moscow. Now to answer your question. Yes, if Ukraine launch Missile into Moscow it will slow down Russia invasion but the question is for how long will it last? 17 Likes 2 Shares |

okeysoninv:They overrate Russia. Russia doesn't have good air defense system. Israel, US, UK have the best air defense systems in the world. The reason Ukraine isn't sending missiles into Russia is simply because Ukraine doesn't even have the capacity. Ukraine past leaders were useless and corrupt, they neglected their national defense even when they know they were living with a mad nation ruled by a foolish dictator. Over the years Ukraine got independence, they ought to have started secret building of long range missiles and air defense systems, but corruption of their past leaders couldn't let them develop any good defense systems. Its really pathetic, my heart bleeds for thr vulnerable, innocent children, elderly, youths and women in Ukraine ![]() God will forever punish Putin and all his evil supporters 37 Likes 3 Shares |

You know a lady just asked me this same question this morning. I think the dynamics of war won't permit that. 1. Ukraine would need to thin out it's force: defending at home and in an offensive offshore. Number matters. 2. How do they fly over vast Russian airspace before they get to important cities before their airplanes are shot down. Except they go kamikaze. 23 Likes |
Re: Why Is Ukraine Not Going Offensive by attacking Moscow by Nobody: 9:52pm On Mar 22, 2022 |
What will they use and from which military base/ ship to fire the missile into Russia. I forgot they will use the president dick to fire it.Russia finished Ukraine military capabilities within 48 hours leaving them with only ground soldiers. That is why the president is a joke when I hear him saying all the rubbish.This negotiation he is calling for now was what he would have done to avoid this level of damage to his country.The clown thought the world will go to W3 because of Ukraine.who Ukraine epp. In the next 50yrs Ukraine will not recover from this massive set back and Putin will have died.At the end Ukraine lost because going forward they will be begging the world for aid to survive from hunger and to rebuild thr country 52 Likes 8 Shares |
