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.

    There is a comedic lack of self awareness or a comedic lack of historical knowledge in your comment

      Somebody in here does have a lack of self awareness, but it’s tragic more than it is funny. I’m past seeing the fun in yet another westerner frothing at the mouth.

      Do illuminate me though, I’m sure such a brash and confident attitude can only come from white mediocrity reading a lot of history and political theory books and not just, like, vibes and half remembered headlines.

        Imperialism doesn’t just end at one country it continues. Look at Occupied China, their 1930 border was a lot smaller than their 1949 border, and they added Tibet. In recent history they added HK and are looking towards Taiwan

        You know it’s not about liberating Ukrainians because Russia hasn’t returned any land, if you are going to say that’s because Ukraine is still evil then why aren’t the liberated lands independent of both Russia and Ukraine?

        If you think Ukraine is the aggressor in this then how much ground combat has happened in Russia? I’m sure your unbiased/non-western sources are full of battles taking place around Moscow and Saint Petersburg

          Look at Occupied China

          🤡 Occupied by whom, other than the Chinese people themselves? You know that Chiang Kai-shek was a fascist who the peasantry chased off the mainland and exiled to an island, right? The only reason they didn’t Luigi him is the US intervened, to protect a fascist.

          they added Tibet

          I’m pretty sure virtually all of the Tibetan people are happy to no longer be suffering under theocratic feudalism. Happy to no longer be illiterate serfs and slaves, suffering depredation under a god-king. I doubt many of them are sad that CIA asset Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama is in exile.

          In recent history they added HK

          Because the UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate Hong Kong ended, yes. A lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion.

          If you think Ukraine is the aggressor in this then how much ground combat has happened in Russia? I’m sure your unbiased/non-western sources are full of battles taking place around Moscow and Saint Petersburg

          I don’t know where you’re going with this straw man. No one claiming that Russia didn’t invade Ukraine.

              no u. You look it up. Stop pretending to be an erudite student of history when you’ve already made a clown of yourself. You don’t even have a Wikipedia-level understanding of these things.

              So you can acknowledge Russia is imperialist so you must know my original post was correct

              Not every invasion is an imperialist invasion. I will give you this though: If Russia could be imperialist, it would be. But since it presently can’t be, it presently isn’t[1].
