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.

Nope.

9/11 is a direct response to US imperialism in the middle east and tied directly with our abandonment of the mujahideen following supporting them throughout the Soviet Afghan war.

Our abandonment before their government stabilized is responsible for the rise of the Taliban and the influence of Bin Laden.

Ukraine targeting civilian centers like this is exactly the same kind of clap back against imperialist greed for land and resources.

Imperialism and authoritarian behavior historically always meets bloody resistance; see also Hamas in Palestine.
