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.

It's sad but you can't expect attacked countries to not fight back.

They committed a war crime. Take a moment to look at the photo gallery, they bombed civilian cars, civilian apartment complex, single family housing.

And they are doing this on the eve of a potential ceasefire. This is not "sad", it's malicious and counterproductive. This kind of attack does nothing to improve the balance of power of Ukraine, it's essentially state terrorism.

It's so sad, if only Russia could've averted this tragedy somehow.

They tried, for 8 years. The West collectively said "nah, fuck you and your peace deals" and continued to bomb Donbas.

Now y'all are celebrating war crimes with the one hand and clutching your pearls that Russia hits back at military equipment fired within hospitals](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/) (another fucking war crime from Ukraine) with the other.
