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.

When was it? I'm looking at Russian news and not seeing anything, they're usually pretty eager to talk about drone attacks. I read about one on Nizhny Novgorod, IIRC it was early morning 11.03

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?

They gave up their entire country to the west when they allowed the US to overthrow their government in the 2014 Maidan Coup. Then they let NATO place troop & missile deployments at the Russian border, in violation of multiple different agreements (Zelenskyy said he supported these agreements to get elected), and now Russia understandably wants a large buffer zone to prevent this from happening again (and protect the ethnic Russians who were being targeted by the Ukrainian far-right).

News flash: no one who refuses to hold elections, and who bans opposition parties & media, is ever the good guy.

But I understand that y’all want this proxy war to continue til the last Ukrainian, and don’t understand how dangerous it is to escalate with a nuclear superpower. Not sure how the drone attacks are supposed to convince them they don’t need a buffer zone, but that’s the level of strategizing we’ve come to expect from the Ukrainian government.
