The only thing I dont understand as a Ukrainian - why cant our forces attack russians on their territory? What is the difference between hitting russians with drones in Belgorod and sending forces to kill russians with bullets on their territory? They can come and kill us on our land, but we cant do the same? Sorry but this is a bit dumb

Yeah I think you're missing part of the fine print in Russin propaganda.

First, Russia is facing WW3, apocalypse, the moment they stop bombing Ukrainian civilians. Russians don't need proof for that, they know it to be true 100%. So... some smoke in some remote villages... hardly proof of anything. Ukrainian Nazis are already mass-murdering Russian civilians in Donetzk and Crimea anyway, and that since 2014, nothing new.

Second, fortunately Russia is safe against this horror because the Russian army is there defending the borders in full force. It's not even fighting at all, only defending. Wagner is the one destroying the last remnants of the Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut. Vugledar, Avdiivka? Sorry don't ring a bell. Smoke in some villages is what you'd expect from that Ukrainian scum, no news there. But the Russian army failing to stop that? Uh that does not compute, logical contradiction.

So bottom line is Russia cannot use this incident since they don't need proof to support their fiction and they have all the incentive to downplay it. Cause the Russian infosphere is absolutely not going to accept "we don't have the forces" as a reason to not defend Russian border villages.
