I was expecting some joke around "there is no war in Russia, it's a special operation, yada yada". Then I reread myself and spotted the obvious mistake.

:facepalm:

(Although, technically, some parts of Ukraine are claimed by Russia, so... No ? Ok, no. Sorry.)

Ukraine has brought the war back to Russia in a handful of attacks.

Another argument is that conscription leads to unrest, and also sowing doubt amongst the leadership is a kind of war.
