That's not a truck, that's an Ukrainian aircraft carrier.
Also, apparently we are having it backwards. Turns out that it was actually Russia, according to its statement, who successfully destroyed all Ukrainian drones (with the fuel tanks of their strategic bombers).

But when Ukraine attacks Russia's military planes and oil refineries, then Russia cries and whines about "terror attacks".
But what would you say about the simultaneous blowing up of bridges in parallel with attacks from trucks:

The locomotive crew of two people and five passengers died on the spot, about 100 passengers and the truck driver were injured of varying severity. Among the dead is a doctor of a children's hospice who was on maternity leave.
Dozens of people, including children, were trapped under the rubble.
And please, don't talk about "Ryazan Sugar".
I spent my childhood holidays in Latvia (during the Soviet period) and I was more interested in it.
Therefore, it is blasphemous to hear this specifically about Latvia:
Quote:
the destruction of previously economically prosperous businesses that were run into the ground under the management of the state.
I still have a "Straume" coffee grinder running. I couldn't find any information about her at all. Well, yes, "into the ground." The modern Latvian authorities destroyed the industry under the slogan: get rid of the Soviet legacy. It is a bitter irony that this legacy is based on the original Latvian industrial and design potential, which existed before the "voluntary-forced" return under Stalin.
And before that, the Latvian riflemen played a key role in the Bolsheviks coming to power, and even more so in retaining it a year later.
Lenin gave independence to your three countries in general (Latvia and Estonia became independent for the first time).
About Estonia (as I understand it, this is your homeland) I don't know very well. They seem to be good in the IT industry. But if you're crying that in 35 years you haven't restored everything you dreamed of, maybe the problem isn't in the Soviet Union anymore? The period of the first independence lasted only two decades.

EU membership is voluntary. That's the main thing that matters here.
And if EU membership were so awful, Russia wouldn't need to invade countries to stop them from joining.
Independence is when the people who live in a region decide they want to govern themselves.
What "the people"? Spherical demagogy based on stigmatization.
Why did you shake the situation at the end of the 13th year, forced joining into the EU?
Wasn't the country independent before that?
Yanukovych and Azarov beat out the best conditions for their country, using my country (tail wagging the dog). The EU demanded higher taxes from the population, so they haggled, blocking entry. And Gabriuskaite actually gave an ultimatum: sign what you gave.
What "the people"? The right people?
Let's make a bloody coup d'etat to secure our sales market?
Under the slogan "Blah blah blah, for all the Good against all the Bad"

That's all very unfortunate, but whose fault is it
really? You know, if Putler and his terrorist regime had stayed within its own borders, you wouldn't have these sob stories to tell, and none of this would never have happened. And that's a fact.
Also, at least Ukraine isn't deliberately targeting hospitals and civilian targets, unlike your beloved motherland. It's unbelievable and honestly pretty fucking embarrassing that you're even comparing the offensive strategies of the two sides and crying about it here.

Lenin didn't give us anything. We fought for our independence. And Russia as a state, not simply Lenin, (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tartu_(Estonia%E2%80%93Russia)) recognised it in a peace treaty that Russia then subsequently violated when (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact) they conspired with Nazi Germany to divide up Europe and launched a joint attack on Poland.
It's a very simple calculation: Our economy was in absolute tatters by the end of Russian occupation and we are still behind due to this when compared to our neighbours who weren't under occupation. Yes, the Soviet Union is to blame, and specifically Russia. And this is especially evident by the fact that Estonian economy has prospered after the restoration of our independence, after the empty store shelves and bread lines.
Sure, this would be a legitimate example of an actual act of terrorism, if it turned out to be the deliberate targeting of a passenger train. This is the kind of example of what Russia is doing constantly in Ukraine. But targeting of military bombers that have been used to launch cruise missiles into Ukrainian cities is not an act of terrorism, no matter how many times Russia cries that it is. You can't terrorise a piece of military equipment.
Also, speaking of terrorism, what would you then say about what's been happening Kherson, where Russian drone operators proudly post videos of killings of Ukrainian civilians on websites that are registered with the Russian government? Hundreds of people, clearly identifiable as ordinary civilians in the footage, have already been killed in these attacks all the while their deaths are mocked by Russians and cheered on these sites.

I would say get the fuck out of Ukraine you invading asshole. You don't get to attack and whine about the consequences. There should be more attacks inside of Russia. The war should have been brought home to the Russian people long before now. Perhaps when you feel the result of your attacks you will understand better what Ukrainians have had to endure from you.

the fun fact of this war : kh101 missile can deploy flare, could you imagine that?
