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.

If Ukraine actually did this, it's a beautiful find out stage after Russia has been fucking around for far too long. But the skeptic in me says this is actually a false flag staged to manufacture reasons to deny peace talks and continue to escalate.

This is a stupid escalation. If Russia so wished, they could level Kyiv overnight, they have more than enough weapons to do it.

Now, that would be the kind of shit liberals pretend Russia is already doing, just carpet bombing the entire area willy nilly (because they think what the fascist US does is what everyone does), but it's not been the strategy, given that Russia doesn't want to make a lifelong enemy of the Ukrainian people and it would make the peace talks that Russia hasn't taken off the table from day one all but impossible.

The only reason this is happening is because Zelensky knows what awaits him specifically as soon as the war is done, he'll get hung out to dry for all the war crimes the US commissioned in the first place.
