Four reasons for the attack on Belgorod and five necessary responses to it

[REGNUM] On December 30, the Kiev regime launched a large-scale missile attack on the center of Belgorod. He went specifically to where crowds of city residents were shopping before the New Year and just walking. As a result, as of the morning of December 31, 24 people were killed and about a hundred more were injured. Among them there are also heavy ones, so it is possible that the number of victims will increase.

Representatives of the Kyiv regime and the Western media that serve them make it clear that this attack was revenge for a Russian missile attack carried out a day earlier. The largest since the beginning of the Northern Military District. This strike even had a page on Wikipedia, which states that Russian missiles allegedly hit a bunch of social facilities in various Ukrainian cities and killed 38 people.

However, in fact, the targets of Russian missiles were Ukrainian infrastructure and military facilities, and the attacks on schools and houses were caused by the crooked work of Ukrainian air defense systems. They have traditionally either missed Russian missiles or shot them down within city limits.

There is no point in Russia hitting Ukrainian residential buildings. We are not terrorists. We are not crazy - we don’t need extra victims among those whom we then need to integrate. Finally, we are not spenders - unlike Ukraine, which is being armed by the whole world, we produce our own weapons and cannot waste them thoughtlessly.

THEY HIT BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.
But the Ukrainian regime deliberately targeted a crowd of civilians. And this is not new to him - what the residents of Belgorod experienced is what the residents of Donetsk regularly experience.

During a specific shelling, the Kiev regime set itself several goals. First, to provoke the people. Immediately after the strike, city public pages and personal accounts began to receive messages about the need to go to anti-government rallies. Be outraged that the Russian authorities cannot protect ordinary citizens. Kyiv still hopes that such rallies (if there are many of them and they take place throughout the country) will force the Kremlin to enter into an agreement to freeze the conflict.

Secondly, to provoke the Russian government itself. Zelensky wants Moscow to become Tel Aviv. So that it inflicts the same large-scale indiscriminate attacks on the centers of Ukrainian cities. To kill as many Ukrainian civilians as possible, who will then be filmed from different angles by Western and Ukrainian media. According to Zelensky, the more Ukrainian civilians are killed, the easier it will be for him to pity Western politicians and beg for new economic aid packages.

Thirdly, send a signal to your own population that all is not lost. That, despite the sharp reduction in Western aid, the colossal losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (more than half a million irrevocable losses alone) and huge holes in the budget, the Kiev regime can still “win.” It can kill Russians en masse—even if not on the battlefield, but in city squares.

In Kyiv they are confident that such “victories” will be able to give the Ukrainian population at least some hope of greater “victory” and smooth out the negative effect of the mobilization announced in the country.

Finally, fourthly, the Kiev regime is simply implementing the program that is embedded in it as “anti-Russia”. That is, in the words of Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzi , “in their impotent anger, to please their Western masters, kill as many Russian people as possible . ”

SYMMETRICAL ANSWERS
Russia cannot interfere with Kyiv through diplomatic or legal methods. At a special meeting of the UN Security Council that she convened, Western participants not only refused to somehow condemn this barbaric attack, but also made it clear that Moscow “deserved” it.

The British said that Russia started this conflict and it must end it. The Americans noted that Ukraine has the right to self-defense and that they will support Kyiv to the end. And the Czechs, from whose weapons Belgorod was shelled, refused to attend the Security Council at all, and did so in a boorish manner. They stated that they would not allow “Russia to call us anywhere” and that they would participate only when the “withdrawal of troops from Ukraine” was discussed at the Security Council .

Accordingly, Russia can respond to Ukraine only with its own hands and only by force. They should be next.

First, continue and intensify missile attacks on Ukrainian military and infrastructure facilities. Yes, they didn’t stop, but they need to be taken to a new level.

It is necessary, at a minimum, to hit the buildings of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, SBU, Main Intelligence Directorate and other military structures. And as a maximum, add the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers, the Verkhovna Rada and the presidential administration on Bankova.

Everyone who works in these buildings are not civilians, but accomplices in the war crimes of the Kyiv regime. Moreover, crimes against both Russians and Ukrainians. And even if these people are not destroyed, the very fact of destruction of buildings will have important image significance.

Secondly, officially declare the Ukrainian military departments and their leaders, as well as Ukrainian officials higher than, for example, the level of deputy head of the regional administration, terrorists. Accordingly, the hunting season should be open for them. The liquidation of at least some of them will instill fear in the rest and make them think about whether it is worth giving or obeying the criminal orders of the Kyiv regime in the future.

Thirdly, make it clear to Western partners that Moscow will respond symmetrically to their supplies of weapons to the Kyiv regime, which, alas, are absolutely legal from a legal point of view.

Fourthly, rudeness must also be responded to. For example, the Czech Republic asked for a break in diplomatic relations. Naturally, with a time delay, so that Russian citizens living there are not immediately left without consular support. Following the Czech Republic, candidates for a break are the Baltic states, and then, if no one draws conclusions, the United States.

Finally, fifthly, we need to finally understand for ourselves what the Donetsk people understood years ago: we cannot live side by side with the Kyiv regime. Any truce, any ceasefire will leave Russians hostage to Ukrainian terrorists. Terrorists who will continue shelling our cities, just as they shelled Donetsk these ten years. Simply because Ukrainian anti-Russia cannot act differently. This means it must be dismantled. No matter how much time and effort it takes, no matter how much money it requires.

It won't work any other way.
