The facts are well known, at least for what is customary in the war in Ukraine. However, a more or less profound reflection seems to indicate fear, or aversion. Everything seems to indicate.

The fact is that at midnight in New Year’s Eve (almost to the point, according to the chronicles), but they do not explain that that midnight was MSK, EET or GMT, something that is also of interest, that the missiles of a Himars battery from the Ukrainian armed forces ended the Russian soldiers who in their day stopped at professional school. According to the Russian version, which once seemed a little credible (at least more credible than the Ukrainian blown story), the attack committed 89 murders.

Almost at the same time, a very similar attack took place in Chulakivka, almost 500 kilometres from Makiivka, Kherson oblast. But in this case, although there is no clear data, it seems that the victims were much rarer. In fact, in the case of Makiivka, the missiles of the aggressors would have caused more than enough victims, along with the troops, in the same building, ammunition explosions accumulated, etc.

All the circumstances of the attacks (timing, target, resources) indicate that the sole objective of Ukrainian actions was to hunt Russian soldiers that existed in Abaro. And the same would make credible the justification that Moscow has launched: the Ukrainian missiles that would arrive guided by the signals from the mobile phones that the soldiers, ignoring the orders, were using. Kremlina can talk about this with the knowledge that, over a quarter century, the Russian FSB used this same system to kill Chechen President Dzhokar Dudaiev in a somewhat more complex operation.

It is obvious that this makes the victims guilty of their fate and, to some extent, forces their relatives to close their mouths, except for the responsibility for keeping ammunition and troops together. By the way, the appetite for revenge sows much more than the desire for peace in Russia, for the comfort of Putin and his relatives. I think we will see that in the coming days.

I do not know whether the objective of Kiev or those who planned the operation could be that. It does not seem very prudent. But somebody also took the decisions to kill D. Dugina, to destroy the Baltic gas pipelines or to pull the Kertx bridge and put them into practice.

Because for some, war is about ending as many enemies as possible. Even when it comes to Saratov fifths you're calling home.
