Russia has been bombarded in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack of the war, Moscow officials have said, on the same day as crunch talks are set to be held between Kyiv and the United States.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight, a record high, as Ukraine hit back at a series of brutal recent attacks launched by Moscow.

At least one Russian civilian has been killed and several injured, with dramatic footage showing fires raging from the exploding drones including in high rise residential buildings near Moscow.

    Daily Mail (essentially trump/putin media)

    i wouldnt be surprised if the russians attacked themselves so they could turn back on their ceasefire and make the ukrainians look like war crazed terrorists.

    ill believe it fully when the ukrainians themselves claim the attack on a non biased platform. this is practically a heresay news source from the far right.

      The absolute state of libs. Put down the tinfoil.

      Russians are at the same time desperate for a peace deal bc they’re getting decimated but staging an elaborate and incredibly expensive attack to jettison the deal. ??? Boy am I not surprised your ruling class doesn’t respect your intellect enough to pretend they’re not robbing you blind.

      Every time Russia suffers a big military loss, they start doing massive attacks on civilians to distract from that.

      FTFY

        More correct is just “Russia is attacking civilians”

        If Ukraine ran out of civilians they would start attacking civilians in another country

          Sometimes I wonder how the fuck we as the world have been getting all of our shit stolen by people this delusional.

          You’re a fucking hair away from being a nazi ragging on about how immigrants are gonna come in and assault everybody and then move elsewhere when they’re done, look in the mirror a little jfc. Hell, you’re already using their asiatic horde script.

            There is a comedic lack of self awareness or a comedic lack of historical knowledge in your comment

              Somebody in here does have a lack of self awareness, but it’s tragic more than it is funny. I’m past seeing the fun in yet another westerner frothing at the mouth.

              Do illuminate me though, I’m sure such a brash and confident attitude can only come from white mediocrity reading a lot of history and political theory books and not just, like, vibes and half remembered headlines.

                Imperialism doesn’t just end at one country it continues. Look at Occupied China, their 1930 border was a lot smaller than their 1949 border, and they added Tibet. In recent history they added HK and are looking towards Taiwan

                You know it’s not about liberating Ukrainians because Russia hasn’t returned any land, if you are going to say that’s because Ukraine is still evil then why aren’t the liberated lands independent of both Russia and Ukraine?

                If you think Ukraine is the aggressor in this then how much ground combat has happened in Russia? I’m sure your unbiased/non-western sources are full of battles taking place around Moscow and Saint Petersburg

                  Look at Occupied China

                  🤡 Occupied by whom, other than the Chinese people themselves? You know that Chiang Kai-shek was a fascist who the peasantry chased off the mainland and exiled to an island, right? The only reason they didn’t Luigi him is the US intervened, to protect a fascist.

                  they added Tibet

                  I’m pretty sure virtually all of the Tibetan people are happy to no longer be suffering under theocratic feudalism. Happy to no longer be illiterate serfs and slaves, suffering depredation under a god-king. I doubt many of them are sad that CIA asset Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama is in exile.

                  In recent history they added HK

                  Because the UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate Hong Kong ended, yes. A lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion.

                  If you think Ukraine is the aggressor in this then how much ground combat has happened in Russia? I’m sure your unbiased/non-western sources are full of battles taking place around Moscow and Saint Petersburg

                  I don’t know where you’re going with this straw man. No one claiming that Russia didn’t invade Ukraine.

      Negotiations in Saudi right now. Ukraine probably wants to show they are willing to bomb cities just like Russia if they do not get a good deal.

        How come when Russia drops bombs it’s a military target (or something meters away from one) but when Ukraine drops bombs it’s always schools, apartments, and shopping malls?

          Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

          If that’s not possible, please check news sources other than RT.

          You are either a troll, a Russian bot, or completely obtuse.

    This is what always happens when we stop arming/funding right-wing extremist groups. They make things a million times worse.

    Zelenskyy would rather start WW3 than hold elections. Completely psychotic.

      How can you all contort yourself into a pretzel to somehow make Zelensky the bad guy? It’s like you forgot who and how this was started.

      Which portion of your country would you give up to an invading country?

            nothing about this or ukraine’s situation is fair.

            nato is a threat to russia, ukraine was fooled into thinking that they could join nato so the russians responded like how americans responded to cuba or mexico, or agentina, or chile when they tried to join the russians or peru or bolivia or paraguay when they try to join china.

            russia and nato are dominant powers for now and like all dominant powers in the past; they get to dictate what other countries can and can’t do; it’s all totally unfair and contortions aren’t needed to understand this fact.
