How can you live in Belgorod and put a shocked emoji that there is war

You are less than one marathon running distance away from the border, and one ultra marathon from Kharkiv, and the war has been going for 2 years. Whole cities are flattened, not that far from where you are.

Kinda puts it in perspective that “we don’t have a problem with the Ukrainians striking Russian soil anymore” thing. They didn’t know how much the West was doing for them; without careful escalation management keeping them safe, the northern counteroffensive would probably have pushed the front line back past the border and rolled it over their city to create a buffer zone, and they wouldn’t get to live in their home anymore right now or maybe ever again.
