they have sent other munitions from other sources fairly deep into russia, i believe the submarine dock attack was with a storm shadow missile, and at least one drone attack, the obvious one being the kremlin bombing, as well other other sourced materials they can find. They’ve been doing it whenever accessible and possible. Oh and obviously the recent offensive into russia itself.
The obvious example is the ATACMs missile, but i believe that was post restriction.
to be clear here, i’m not saying they broke the US restrictions, i’m saying they broke the “taboo” on firing into russian territory.
sevastopol is in crimea right? Is crimea recognized broadly by the global nations to be ukrainian territory? Crimea is annexed by russia, there was a whole thing around this when it happened. I know ukraine contests this and wishes to get it back, but currently for most intents, and most purposes, crimea is a part of russia.
i guess i’d probably define it by either governmental ties, although i believe crimea was closer to a territory of ukraine, than an actual part of ukraine, and whether or not the government itself has some sort of significant influence in that region.
Geo politics is fun.
I guess the other alternative is digging through the history of ukraine and crimea to see if they ever established any sort of relationship that you could use as a basis for a modern claim of “ownership”
Ya I’m with you there, they have broken so many taboos (or as the russians call it, red lines), tanks, western help, javelins, hitting oil depos, substations (but that was retaliation I guess), …
What about a kremlin attack? I only know about a staged one with a drone from IDR like 2022?
It’s about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do “anyways”?

The submarine dock was in Sevastopol, which is Russian-occupied Ukraine rather than Russia.

You can make up your own mind, but that’s a strong yes to me:

Crimea and Sevastopol both had majority votes for independence in 1991.

oh was the drone attack on the kremlin staged? I remember hearing that as a possibility, but i never looked into it after the fact.
They attacked with long range drones rather than American weapons
I know, and that has always “been allowed”.
