...The Kremlin leader told Russian state media journalist Pavel Zarubin that he hoped Western countries had listened to his statements on their green-lighting long-range weapons against Russia.

"They have not told me anything about it, but I hope they have heard," Putin said in recorded remarks posted to messaging app Telegram. "Because, of course, we will have to make some decisions for ourselves, too."

Ukraine, despite repeated requests from Kyiv, is not permitted to use long-range Western weapons to strike deep into Russian territory. It is allowed to use short-range weapons to fend off immediate threats to its border, but uses long-range drones to launch strikes on Moscow's air bases, ammunition dumps and oil refineries hundreds of miles into Russian soil. ...

Bloodrock - D.O.A. (1970)
www.youtube.com

Instead of lyrics, I'll proffer...

D.O.A. (song)
en.wikipedia.org(song)

... "D.O.A." is a song by Texas hard rock band Bloodrock released by Capitol Records in early 1971.

Synopsis

The song is sung from the perspective of a man who has, temporarily, survived a mid-air collision. In his dying words, he describes in graphic detail what he remembered of the collision and his current condition: his arms have been severed, his co-pilot is already lifeless beside him, blood is rapidly leaving his body and pooling underneath him, and a paramedic indicates that no medical intervention can save him from imminent death. Ambulance sirens are heard at several points in the song; at the end, the music slows down and drops in key, simulating the narrator's loss of consciousness and death.

The initials D.O.A. stand for dead on arrival. ...



The ambulance siren at the end of the song, it just shuts off.

Yeah, back in the day, this song made a deep impression.

Does Vlad explain why it's OK for him to use missiles and troops from other countries, but no OK for Ukraine to do so?

I bet not.... I'll have to ask EP. He'll know.

He doesn't have to explain because he is Vlad. He can import and use whatever he wants because "Vlad". That includes mercenaries and 3rd party battalions. The good thing is that in the meantime the Ukrainians have built their own methods for delivering payloads deep into Russia proper.

I did find the Belarus position over the weekend interesting even if it is a hollow threat.
