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.

    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.
