Civilian killed and three injured as Kyiv launches drone attack
www.dailymail.co.uk
The attack came as a Ukrainian delegation was set to meet with America's top diplomat in Saudi Arabia about ending the three-year war with Russia.

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.

    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 from within hospitals (another fucking war crime from Ukraine) with the other.

    I hope the upcoming burst of the bubble puts the west down for real, I can’t believe people like you are voting for the people in charge of the biggest military apparatus in human history.

      This is a Brazen Lie. There would have been no war in Donbas, no bombing and no death if Russia itself didn’t send its troops in there. The Russians, including Dugin and Girkin, have openly said this. Even Putin mentioned in an interview invading donbas in 2014

        There would have been a war because the DNR and LNR seceded, and Ukraine refused to negotiate in good faith, choosing to bomb civilians into an unconditional surrender.

        We will all win! Because we will have a job — they don’t have one. We will have pensions — they don’t have them. We will have the support of people — children and pensioners — but they do not have it. Our children will go to schools and kindergartens, and they will have them sitting in basements. Because they don’t know how to do anything! That’s how, that’s how we’re going to win this war.

        Poroshenko said this in 2014.

      Russia tried not attacking Ukraine for 8 years and then just had to do it? That does sound very Russian.

      Friend, you’re clutching your pearls over a single attack but Russian invasion has caused tens of thousands of civilian deaths. Give me a break.

        I know “no u” is the end all be all of lib argument, but I’m not clutching my pearls at anything. Russia is winning and Ukraine needs this peace deal, and politicians there are gonna have to acknowledge what the population wants soon or mass desertions are gonna be the least of their problems.

          I’m sure there’s an argument relevant to the topic in your comment somewhere, I’m just not seeing it.
