Ukraine was attacked by Russia against international law. Do you believe Russia should get away with it?

And before there's a whataboutism reply, I also do not agree with a lot of the US' aggression, and they and their leaders should be tried for war crimes.

The law should be consistent, clear and applied to everyone. If US leaders were not tried for Iraq, French weren't tried for Lybia, Saudis weren't tried for Yemen, Israel weren't tried for Palestine, but suddenly Russia should be destroyed for Ukraine, it's not the law.

> but suddenly Russia should be destroyed for Ukraine

I must have missed the bit where people started calling for Russia's destruction.

TBH it has surprised me that Ukraine hasn't carried out a lot more behind-the-lines attacks on Russian supply convoys; I'm aware of just one attack on a Russian fuel dump inside Russia. It's as if they are fearful that an attack on Russian territory might lead to retaliation. But isn't Russia already 'retaliating' as much as it can?

It's hard to do on Russian territory because of closed borders and anti-air. It's hard to do on captured eastern territories because there are too many ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking people live here, who are quite sympathetic to Russia. And there are rumors that FSB acquired the lists of all pro-ukrainian activists on these territories from SBU.

And no, Russia has not even start to retaliate.

I supposed that such behind-the-lines operations would be covert sabotage, drones or missiles - not air attacks or invasions.

Covert sabotage is just terrorism and russian special services has quite good experience preventing this.

Drones and missiles are flying in belgorod district but mostly countered by aa.

That may be so, meanwhile the Russian troops are doing an excellent and very well documented job at self sabotage.
