So far, no one has immunity in Ukraine: children, elderly, civilian shoppers, hospital patients.

However, unlike civilians, military instructors can and will shoot back.
So good luck with that, Putin, you dumbass.

Putin Threatens To Supply Weapons To "Regions" For Retaliatory Strikes On Western Targets

The idea of giving weapons to forces that are hostile to countries that allow Ukraine to use their weapons on Russian soil was put forward by Putin today.

Like they have spare weaponry at hand, sure. They're digging up T-55s from boneyards and are burying planes every day.

After this last two-plus years of a shitshow, who wants Russian gear outside of some third-rate tinhorn African dictator who needs to put down civilians, who counts Russian gear as useful?

Russian President Vladimir Putin this week gave a rare update on casualty and prisoner-of-war figures from his nation's ongoing war in Ukraine, though his figures contradicted Western estimates of the human cost of his ongoing invasion.

At a meeting in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, Putin told the heads of several international news agencies that there are 1,348 Russian troops and officers in captivity in Ukraine compared to the 6,465 Ukrainians in Russian detention, RIA Novosti and TASS news agency reported.

He also asserted that Moscow has only lost one soldier for every five that Kyiv has.

"I can tell you that our losses, particularly irretrievable losses, are certainly significantly smaller than those of the opposite party," Putin said, as reported by TASS.

The Russian president's claims contradict Ukrainian and U.S. battlefield estimates, the latest of which reported that Moscow has suffered 515,000 casualties, including more than 50,000 deaths, since the war began in February 2022. The real death toll could actually be much higher, as there are no reliable exact numbers for Kremlin military casualties.

 
Yeah and the Russians, especially Putin, have been proven to report only facts.:banghead2:
EDIT
ISW June 6: Putin inadvertently indicated on June 5 that Russian forces may be suffering roughly 20,000 monthly casualties in Ukraine, which, if accurate, would be roughly equal to or just below the number of new personnel that Russia reportedly generates per month. Putin inadvertently suggested that roughly 5,000 Russian personnel are killed in action in Ukraine each month, which further suggests that roughly 15,000 Russian personnel are wounded in action, assuming a standard three-to-one wounded-to-killed casualty ratio. ISW cannot confirm Putin's suggested casualty rate and his apparent inadvertent admission does not serve as a clear claim about Russian casualties in Ukraine. Putin's suggested figure does align somewhat with the lower end of Ukrainian reporting about Russian casualty rates, however. Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk stated on May 2 that Russian forces suffer about 25,000 to 30,000 killed and wounded personnel per month. Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Deputy Chief Major General Vadym Skibitskyi reported on January 15, 2024, that Russia recruits around 30,000 personnel per month. Ruslan Pukhov, the head of the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies and a member of a Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) civilian advisory board, similarly claimed in mid-April 2024 that current Russian crypto-mobilization efforts are generating roughly 30,000 new personnel each month. Russian officials are reportedly concerned about decreasing recruitment rates ahead of the expected Russian Summer 2024 offensive effort, and it is unclear if the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has maintained the roughly 30,000 recruitment rate it reportedly had in January and April of 2024.

OMAHA BEACH, France (AP) — An American veteran and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared an emotional moment at a ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion to liberate France in World War II, each praising the other as a hero.

Retired Staff Sgt. Melvin Hurwitz, 99, and other veterans were introduced to the foreign dignitaries remembering the landings in Normandy on Thursday. When he met Zelenskyy, Hurwitz kissed the Ukrainian leader's hand and pulled him in for an extended hug, exclaiming: "Oh, you're the savior of the people!"

A beaming Zelenskyy replied: "No, no, no, you ... you saved Europe." The crowd watching exploded with applause, and Hurwitz asked for a picture with the Ukrainian president. He told Zelenskyy that he prays for him.

We in the West need to stop pretending that Russia-Ukraine is just a regional border dispute. Russia, Iran and China are directly and indirectly trying to expand their spheres of influence by force and intimidation. What's going on in Ukraine is different only in degree to what Iran and it's proxies are doing in the Middle-East, and China is doing in the South China Sea. And they are all working together.
