Yes, this needs to be brought up. If you can't rage war on a country without being struck back, what has this world come to? /s
That, and Russia used Belgorod as a launching point for several Iskanders missiles against Ukraine in the large strike. So a lot of return fire went to Belgorod to destroy the launchers. Missile off course, intercepted, Ewar jammer, so many reasons a single munition can end up in a population center. It's not as if a grad was used to carpet Belgorod.
It was literally an attack on a civilian center of a civilian city while ceasefire was being floated as a possibility.
They don't actually, because Russia didn't attack civilian centers far beyond the front lines of combat. The attack on Belgorod was not part of a Ukrainian counter offensive. It was retaliatory collective punishment of civilians. Which is unsurprising for Ukraine given the way they've been killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas since 2014. They're all about killing civilians for cruelty,
Russian propaganda sure is an "interesting" take on reality. The bully whines about getting their nose bloodied and is surprised nobody has any sympathy for them.
