Tonight, Ukrainian military invaded Luhansk, despite Russian recognition of LPR as independent

Despite knowing Russia would defend what they recognize as a sovereign country, they poked the bear.

Russia orchestrated a surgical strike to disable Ukraine's military infrastructure and prevent them from killing any more people in Donbas. They succeeded completely in little over an hour. Reportedly the Azov Battalion headquarters has been destroyed as well, and leaders have fled to Poland. Too early to tell.

From everything I've seen so far, Russia is not occupying Ukraine. They are not invading Ukraine. Striking infrastructure outside of major cities was their goal.

I've never denied the first two things when they actually happened. You imply that I'm moving the goalposts but you can go through my history if you want. I've stayed consistent.
