    The thread is about an operation on Russian soil, during a conflict exclusively over Ukrainian soil. One group operating just over the border in Russia in a defensive war doesn’t change the fact that the front line is in Ukraine. The objecting of the operation remains restoring the sovereignty of Ukraine.

    Their homeland is in fact the front. Their homeland consists of the entire country of Ukraine. Even the forests and the fields. Even the ruins of their homes. Even the graves of their loved ones killed by Russian invaders. The homes may have been destroyed by Russia, but once the war is won the Ukraines can return there. That is the point.

      After the war ends it will take a lot of years before the front lines becomes habitable again:

      The front is where they fight and where troops are being sent, i suggest you to grab a map of ukraine and to watch the videos of this war.

        Well then they better fight hard to win the war sooner so they can get a start on making their country habitable again. Operating into Russia seems like the fastest way to achieve that.

        The front is on their native soil, which they don’t need to be sent to. Thats where they already were, it’s their own country.

          The front is on their native soil, which they don’t need to be sent to.

          The front has now also moved to russia.

          https://militaryland.net/maps/deployment-map/

          Here’s a map that can help you understand where they are fighting and where the front is.

          Lviv is about 800km from the east front which is about the distance between UK and Italy

            As you can clearly see on the map, the front is in Ukraine. One operation has pushed part of it into Russia from the Ukraine, but the front line remains on their home soil. The goal of the operation that pushed into Russia is to remove the foreign invaders from the Ukraine, so its purpose is also to support the fighting that exists on the front in the Ukraine, their home soil.
