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.

The shit Muscovites are receiving a dose of their own fucking medicine. Shame it is not the same dose as Kiev receives.

One of them, yup. There's a real "my empire's better than your empire" energy here, and a tendency to totally forget (or deliberately ignore?) the working class to defend said empire. I don't block ml personally but I block a lot of people in it.

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
