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.

      They actually deserve it a lot more than the ukrainians. Unfortunately, they have suffered almost nothing during this war, which is one of the biggest reasons why it keeps going on.

        You understand that Russians are just people too, right? They aren’t all a bunch of drooling savages who want to murder Ukrainians or anyone else. Not sure how you can say the Russian civilian population deserves to be punished for what their shitty government does. Have you applied that same logic to your own country and its people? Or is that just something you say about faraway places from the comfort of your own home?

          Of course. And nazi-time germans were people too. And Republican voters are people too. Putin and Trump are people too.

          I don’t understand what you are claiming here, frankly. That being a human absolves sins? Very christian of you, I guess.

            Ah there’s the slip up. You want a distinction between different types of American voters. Sorry bud.

            All Americans are guilty under their government, no matter who they voted for.

            Get rid of your blue maga brain rot before it totally cripples you.

        Geopolitics have nothing to do with it. You’re either pro or against war crime.

        Bad news, you’re pro. Make the world a better place and shoot yourself.
