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.

Wow. I’m kinda shocked by this news. Ukraine on the offensive? Why?

They’re not on an offensive, they’re just sending drones to attack civilian infrastructure to distract from their collapse in Kursk https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/03/11/retreat-ukrainian-brigades-appear-to-be-leaving-kursk/

They need to have some success to put onto the table and show USA and EU they still can win. Regardless of this “win” being basically terror attack, USA and EU loves them anyway.

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.

Likely also to distract from the massive disaster that’s unfolding in Kursk.

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?

Russia has dropped many bombs on civilians building and infrastructure.

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.

Didn’t Russia bomb a building with “children” painted in front of it once

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

Let’s not pretend as if anyone here can know the real answer to that. But… Kyiv has been attacked with terror attacks since the start of this war, so why not Moscow? Perhaps it might bring some sense to the russian people who are currently complete sheeps when it comes to their leadership.

Unfortunately(?) attacks against civilians rarely work in lowering morale.

At this point, even if not great, I’m not actually entirely against Hamas doing that.

But again, the same thing applies to attacks against civilians. It rarely works in any strategic sense.
