Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Those mortars aren't being used to attack Russian territory. They are used to attack Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor here so to date the predominant Ukrainian behavior has been rebuffing the invasion.
The problem will arise when anyone tries to majorly harm Russia. Ukraine tried and it was silly. They have lobbed some drones but again, minimal impact and nothing that threatening. Once the USA starts arming Ukraine for total war against Russia (meaning lobbing effective missiles, bombers, and the like) to destroy critical infrastructure inside Russian territory, it's a serious problem for Russian national security that it will need to address.
If the USA intends to launch total war on Russia, via proxy or otherwise, then we have hit the next escalation point towards WW3.
