Sure, they always have that option, but they don’t have the missile manufacturing to waste ammunition like that whereas Russia does. If Russia wants to, they can eliminate most civilian centers in Ukraine without any resistance, the same cannot be said for Ukraine, as Russia still puts out more 40N6 missiles per month than Ukraine is able to obtain missiles so most of Ukraine’s strikes would be intercepted.
It’s not a MAD situation anymore now that Ukraine has lost its main shield. Plus, you know, Russia will nuke Ukraine if they manage to do any real damage.
I think that if russia would go to far even China will not back them anymore. Russia needs china for almost everything, so Putin won’t cross that line.
Maybe, but if Ukraine struck Moscow and actually killed non-military targets, no one in the world be able to reasonably blame them a retaliatory strike. Every single nuclear power has some variant of a first use doctrine where if they feel like their people are in danger serious danger or their state is under threat they’ll use nukes even in a non-nuclear conflict.
It’s Moscow and St. Petersburg that Ukrane can hit that would possibly wake the Russian civilians up. Gently slide from military targets to dual civilian/ military, like airports, ports, bridges. Then onto any government buildings. Then power substations, etc. Not that they should do this as it has more of a chance of building nationalism in Russia. Ukraine’s current strategy of hitting oil refineries and military manufacturing is clearly the right call, even in the face of Russia’s war crimes.
All offensive war is a crime. Russia started this and could stop whenever it wanted to. This is all on Russia. Anyone supporting the Russian government as they attack Ukraine deserves to die.
Ukraine could also easily take out mass civilians in Russia.
They already do.
Really? Is that what they tell you?
That’s what the Nazis in Ukraine say.
You subscribe to some sort of Nazi newsletter?
No I can read what the Ukrainian Nazis post online. You can too, if you can be bothered.
Where’s this online Nazi group you speak of?

Ukrainians committing more war crimes before they surrender?
