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.

    Negotiations in Saudi right now. Ukraine probably wants to show they are willing to bomb cities just like Russia if they do not get a good deal.

      How come when Russia drops bombs it’s a military target (or something meters away from one) but when Ukraine drops bombs it’s always schools, apartments, and shopping malls?

        One of these two actors is actively and aggressively siezing strategic territory needed for a sound position in a changing climate. I’ll give you a hint: neither of them give a shit about living in Russia.

        I hope to see this same victim blaming enthusiasm when America invades Canada and Greenland for the same reasons.

        Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

        If that’s not possible, please check news sources other than RT.

        You are either a troll, a Russian bot, or completely obtuse.

        bombing civilian targets yields bigger optics and fatigues the population

        i don’t know that the split in strategy between the two belligerents is as plain as you’re implicating though
