The guns were addressed to Ukraine, but the ammo is addressed to Russia.

Didn’t one of the USA’s ICBM silos right that on something as a joke. Like the dominoes logo and “15 minutes anywhere in the world, or the next one’s free” or some shit? lol

If you buy them more ammo on some of those sites you can even PERSONALLY ADRESS THEM!

Russians are saying this as a way to drum up resentment against Ukraine among their own population, i.e. "How dare Ukraine use long range artillery against Russia, they have no justification we have only invaded their country and committed genocide there."

It makes no sense but neither does most propaganda.

My thought was more along the lines of Russian propaganda needing to keep up the general narrative that Russia is not fighting a "fair" fight with Ukraine. They are fighting against the entire western world.

When the war drags on, and Russia keeps having setbacks, they will say it is because they are fighting the West.

If they really were fighting against all of NATO (they would be crushed), and were doing as well as they are now, that would be impressive instead of pathetic.

And if Putin ever is actually forced into peace talks where Russia gets less than they have been demanding, it is important for the Russian public to believe that this is a war Russia was fighting against the entire world, for their survival. Not a war against their much smaller neighbor in an attempt to expand borders.

Then maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, maybe they should avoid picking fights with the US and its allies…?

I sincerely wish that NATO were actually involved from the start. Because then this really would have only lasted 3 days… 3 days to an occupied moscow, that is.
