WATCHOVER:

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 [b]it will slow down Russia invasion [/b]but the question is for how long will it last?




It will slow down Russia invasion or hasten Ukraine's destruction undecided
Re: Why Is Ukraine Not Going Offensive by attacking Moscow by Pamtoye(m): 11:02am On Mar 23, 2022
Ukraine can't attack Russia cos Zelensky is well aware of the number one rule in the Book of War.

"Never March on Moscow!"
The Geographical and climatic advantage Russia possesses is second to none, it gives it a natural edge over other European nations.
Napoleon Bonaparte tried it in the early 19th century and failed woeful, even though this was mostly due to his ego. He decided to still invade Moscow, despite receiving lots of advice from his generals against doing that.

Hitler also tried it during WW II, we all know how that ended...lol..Russia is too large for any one country to invade. Even the entirety of NATO will have a hard time doing that, let alone little Ukraine.

No but they have more nukes than anyone on earth and will not mind to use it.
No 1⃣ wants nuclear war.

Calm down.. Do don't have to have the most nukes to do damage..
Pakistan officially has the least stock pile of nukes..
Even the little they have can destroy the world ten times over..
But the USA and Russia over the Yeats have been reducing their stock piles of nukes

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.

That will be enough excuse for Putin to declare a full-blown war, and level Ukraine.

Putin has made it clear from the start that this invasion is aimed at removing Western apologists like Zelensky, thereby putting an end to Ukraine's interest in joining NATO.

Ukraine understands this, which is why it is being defensive.

Ukraine knows the consequences of taking the fight into Russia. It would mean a full-blown war.

Ukraine is contended in seeing this fight as "a special military operation" and their own fighting as a resistance.

It is safer that way for Ukraine. And it suits Russia just as well.

The reason for my question at the end is that Ukraine War chest is small compared to Russia, they would have been able to match Russia if they did not surrender some of their equipment to Russia through treaty, used when they were part of the USSR

The bolded,
Russia has not been indiscriminately bombing and destroying. Rather they have been very careful and only bomb places that have soldiers inside.
If Russia were indiscriminately bombing by now those parts of Ukraine that were bombed would be a pile of ruble. If you don't know what a pile ruble is after bombardment, google america bombing before and after libya pictures

You are either naive or living under the rock.
Everywhere Russia soldier have "conquered" have turned to rubbles.
While Putin's soldiers can't fight, they can bomb from safe distance.
They are bombing street after street, towns after towns.

Oga, Russia has the highest number of nukes on earth, and they are hypersonic which scares even America.
Read America's comment on the last hypersonic missile attack on Ukarine.
Russia not only has the highest nukes but the fastest the whatever shit you mean Pakistan but there is no way Pakistan nuke can destroy the earth.
Fact still remains that Russia has the highest ranged nuke ever tested so, spare me the bull crap.
Highly developed country like America and UK will never risk direct confrontation with Russia and they know why.

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, it must never attack Russian soil with it.

This is perhaps the best response I have read so far.

That notwithstanding...all is fair in war therefore Ukraine should consider hitting the Kremlin where it would hurt them!
Re: Why Is Ukraine Not Going Offensive by attacking Moscow by angelfallz(m): 11:22am On Mar 23, 2022
Lol. You're the one who is naive. Modern warfare goes with a lot of bombings. Ask Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq.
The difference between the American bombings and the Russian bombings is that the Russians are not bombing indiscriminately.
If the Russians are bombing a building it is because Ukrainian soldiers or nazi militias after in the building and firing on Russian soldiers.

This fantasy will open a dam of blood. Zelensky painted a target on Ukrainians when he armed them and told them to fight the Russians. Strike Moscow? Funny. It's like telling Cuba to hit Washington. Mumu leaders fantasizing their way through geopolitics.

It will be suicidal for Putin to use WMDs. He knows never to go there, he clearly recognizes his limitation and the repercussion of making such a move.
So far, Ukraine is playing it safe by not attacking Moscow (by following the instructions of NATO not to go offensive, at least for now). I think the strategy here is to simply do anything and everything to continue to make Putin look like a confused maniac. But with time, there is a possibility that Ukraine may go offensive with the backing of the west/ NATO.

In fact, not going offensive may be working; Russia has already used more than 10% of his invasion assets, and lost almost 20,000 soldiers. If Ukraine goes offensive, it would be with the full backing of the NATO/ west and all options must have been exhausted.
