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.

Every time Ukraine suffers a big military loss, they start doing massive attacks on civilians to distract from that. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/03/11/retreat-ukrainian-brigades-appear-to-be-leaving-kursk/

edit: I guess basic facts of the situation makes people who've been guzzling propaganda for the past three years very upset

basic facts of the situation

I think it's more the selective emphasis than the 'basic facts'.

Something tells me you've never said that about people cherrypicking information that's beneficial to Ukraine.

You mean... both of them do it?

Wow, the power of truth!

Uh-huh, Russia blows up its own civilian populations just like it blows up its own gas pipelines.

Deeply unserious cope.

its own

I'm trying my best to follow but where did "its own" come from here?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

The civilian population under discussion is Russia’s own. That’s what this post is about.

They kill their own citizens to hide military losses? You gotta be insane to believe this 😂

But i guess you also believe Russia destroyed their own infrastructure.

You don’t think a country like Russia would kill a few of their civilians in a false flag attack to win a war? Look up and read about any of the major false flag attacks throughout history, consider Russia has a deep history of genocide against their own population, and look up how many Ukrainian civilians have been killed by Russia in the last 8 years

More correct is just “Russia is attacking civilians”

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

Last I checked it's AFU that's getting routed in Kursk. Of course, nobody should expect people who weren't able to engage with the facts for the past three years to start doing that now.
