NBCMAY 2023
Though Russia may accuse Ukraine of repeatedly hitting targets inside Russia, the truth is Ukrainian forces are not attacking Russian territory — despite having a legitimate right to use force to fully de-occupy its regions currently under Russian control.
Ukraine has previously bombed the Crimean Bridge and attempted to assassinate Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin, so it is not impossible to conceive of it blowing up Russian aircraft. Such acts of terrorism will not be left unanswered.
