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.

Having been to both countries, and made friends in both countries, this whole war really hurts to see. I hate the Russian government, but the Russian people don't deserve this any more than the Ukrainian people deserve being invaded. I can't give an opinion on how strategically "necessary" this was in the eyes of Ukrainian military leadership, but it's sad all the same.

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.

I don't support Putin but that doesn't mean I blindly dismiss that civilians get harmed in military conflicts. The thrust of your reasoning appears to be "Ukraine is good, Russia is bad, killing civilians is bad, Ukraine killed Russian civilians...DOES NOT COMPUTE...CONTRADICTION...DISMISS THE FACTS"

Like, dude. War is Hell. And it's never as simple as good guys and bad guys. Sure, Putin is a clear bad guy. But most everything else going on is morally grey. As for the facts of the attack, this was confirmed by AP, the BBC, and CNN. Are you sure the British are Trump/Putin media? What about the AP, which has been barred from the White House over Trump's "Gulf of America" debacle? There's no excuses for not simply looking it up. You made this post 35 minutes ago.

EDIT: To be clear, I do oppose Trump, Putin, and the Daily Mail. They are all authoritarian right-wing in ideology if not outright neo-fascist/neo-nationalist/proto-fascist

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.
