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.
Every time Ukraine suffers a big military loss, they start doing massive attacks on civilians to distract from that. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/03/11/retreat-ukrainian-brigades-appear-to-be-leaving-kursk/
edit: I guess basic facts of the situation makes people who’ve been guzzling propaganda for the past three years very upset

Please do little fash.

FTFY
Uh-huh, Russia blows up its own civilian populations just like it blows up its own gas pipelines.
Deeply unserious cope.
its own
I’m trying my best to follow but where did “its own” come from here?
They kill their own citizens to hide military losses? You gotta be insane to believe this 😂
But i guess you also believe Russia destroyed their own infrastructure.
You don’t think a country like Russia would kill a few of their civilians in a false flag attack to win a war? Look up and read about any of the major false flag attacks throughout history, consider Russia has a deep history of genocide against their own population, and look up how many Ukrainian civilians have been killed by Russia in the last 8 years
Last I checked it’s AFU that’s getting routed in Kursk. Of course, nobody should expect people who weren’t able to engage with the facts for the past three years to start doing that now.
It’s sad but you can’t expect attacked countries to not fight back.
Ok one civilian killed, how many tactical targets did they hit? 337 shot down, how many drones did hit their target? sounds like this post shares only the absolute worst side of the story.
“The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down at least 91 drones in the region around Moscow and more than 240 drones directed at other targets across the country.”
“The Ukrainian military said it had targeted Moscow’s oil refinery, which provides more than a third of the fuel consumed in the capital region, along with an oil production station in the Orel region. Neither claim could be independently verified.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/world/europe/ukraine-russia-moscow-war-drones.html
"Ukraine’s armed forces “struck a number of strategic objects of the Russian Federation involved in ensuring armed aggression against Ukraine,” they said in a statement Tuesday.
The Russian military said it shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions. Three people were killed and 18 injured, and several residential buildings damaged, according to Russian officials."
NYT does not say whether a civilian was killed or soldier. They all leave that out. Like almost all Western newspapers. Which is why you got Daily Mail.
Indeed I have seen stories about 1,2 or 3 deaths without mentioning it
At least use an archive link if you’re going to share the Daily Mail
When was it? I’m looking at Russian news and not seeing anything, they’re usually pretty eager to talk about drone attacks. I read about one on Nizhny Novgorod, IIRC it was early morning 11.03
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.
Ukraine attacking civilians is old news. They love crashing their drones into whatever house is nearby when they fail to find a military target.
Russia doesn’t need a pretext, they’re winning the war. Meanwhile, the fact that you think terrorist attacks against civilians is a beautiful things says all we need to know about you as a person.
Theh government started a war with another country. They are at war and people die in war. Want civilians to not die? End the war and go home.
That’s what yankees are about to do, they’re going to end their proxy war with Russia and go home this year.
Oh you’re a troll, NVM I’ll stop taking you seriously.
Bye fash.
That’s rich coming out of you!
I see we have a connoisseur of the horseshoe theory on our hands here.
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 just killed six people, including two children in Donetsk yesterday.
Russia has dropped many bombs on civilians building and infrastructure.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/ again, meters away from military targets.
Amnesty has to throw its “both sides” shit into it as always but even a propaganda arm of the UK government admits Ukraine has been deliberately firing weapons dangerously close to civilian infrastructure. That “hamas uses human shields” nonsense that nobody ever provides proof of? There’s ample proof when it comes to Ukraine (and Israel), it’s the CIA playbook.
Maybe read your own article?
“…In certain other locations in which Amnesty International concluded that Russia had committed war crimes, including in some areas of the city of Kharkiv, the organization did not find evidence of Ukrainian forces located in the civilian areas unlawfully targeted by the Russian military.”
Using your same source (therefore I assume you accept it as credible) here are a few articles from this year showing Russia as the problem in the conflict, including one specifically calling out the Russia war crimes against civilians (you should particularly pay attention to the link to the report about “deadly Russian airstrikes on civilians”)
https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/end-war-crimes-against-ukrainians-in-russian-captivity/
Maybe understand that Amnesty always has been a tool for manufacturing consent for western intervention, and if they’re criticizing a western ally that means something is horribly wrong with them, but they’re gonna have to fling criticism at the other party any way they can as well.
I don’t use it because I consider it trustworthy in and of itself, but because you probably do. In the same way you’d probably use a CGTN source to say “even china admits it” or teleSUR to say “even Venezuela admits it” when criticizing either of them.

Nah, it’s just China bad with infinite Zenz source loops.
Interesting, thank you for sharing.
Didn’t Russia bomb a building with “children” painted in front of it once
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.
Nice word salad you got there, but smashing a dozen military sounding buzzwords doesn’t make your sentences coherent, it just makes you look like a dumbass redditor.
Also “If you’re not critical of military opposition to american interventionism, I hope to see you enthusiastic about American interventionism for the same reasons”. You libs would be funny as hell if I didn’t have to live with the consequences of your racism and idiocy.
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 implying though

guess you didn’t have that tune on 9/11
If you had that tune then surely you’re in favour of this?
Idk, I think the financiers directly profiting off US resource wars and bookkeeping for the pentagon had more to do with the war than random schoolchildren and grandmas sleeping far away from any military targets.
What about the janitors, cleaners and other regular people working in the building, perhaps the passengers of those planes?
I mean if you are fine with that sort of collateral damage then I don’t see why you wouldn’t be fine when it happens to Russia. Wouldn’t want to be hypocritical…
Wouldn’t want to be hypocritical
Pot, kettle. You are apparently fine with it happening to Russian citizens, but against it happening to yanks. Maybe look in the mirror a bit harder
Buddy, I’m not the one who wrote that original message. Maybe look at the usernames a bit harder. I didn’t write anything about being against it happening to Yanks.
Like said, wouldn’t want to be hypocritical.
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.
how boring of a shill do you have to be to want to try and cast Russia as a hero at any point in the past 100 years, let alone in the past 11?
what a disgusting asshole writing complete fiction.
Regardless of your opinion on the current war, the Soviet Union was by and large one of the best countries in the 20th century, from siding with Palestine, Cuba, China, etc to defeating the Nazis to making dramatic strides for the working class. Of all the major world powers, the Soviet Union was definitely the most able to be considered heroic.
Well that’s a completely deranged take but okay.
No facts, no thoughts, just thinking Hollywood propaganda films are as good as reading a book lmao
The only deranged thing here is your comment.
How so?
If Russia so wished, they could level Kyiv overnight, they have more than enough weapons to do it.
i don’t think you realize how big cities are. that’s a lot of bombs.
and why would they destroy the thing that they are trying to win? how would that make sense
how would that make sense
Ask the media that’s been screeching about a “full scale invasion” since 2022
Winnie the Pooh loves honey too!
America nuked Japan twice and they ended up pretty good friends. If Russia could, they would. They don’t want to get pants’ed on the world stage.
You want to make a lifelong enemy? Renege on 20 peace deals since 2014.
The peace deals that Ukraine kept violating from day one (probably by order of the US, given that Israel does the same shit of calling it a ceasefire and insisting only the others actually cease firing). There’s videos of Zelensky going to Azov and telling them to abide by the peace deals and them laughing in his fucking face.

I thought the concept of lebensraum was violently debunked nearly 80 years ago but apparently some people didn’t get the memo. Sounds like most of you skipped the lesson on how appeasement turns out too.
Sovereign state #1 ⚔️
Sovereign state #2 🛡
Its pretty morally clear cut when you use your own brain to think about it.
Yes, a lot of different states get involved in an international conflicts. Its not pretty or squeaky clean, that’s how war works. If you didn’t want that then you should have opposed the decades of aggression from Putin’s Russia, it’s a bit late to get your hackles up now.
But you do you man, you can whatabout and bothsides all the way to the firing squad. I’ll be rooting for your gold medal in the mental gymnastics event.
Don’t call someone stupid when you can’t even put together a coherent thought
Learning a few German words and pretending everyone’s a nazi except for the people who hired every Nazi they could find isn’t a substitute for actually reading history and understanding current politics.
There’s not a single serious analyst claiming Russia is pursuing this war in the interest of land, they have the largest landmass in all of Eurasia, you fucking clown. This war started because of the US coup, states seceded because they didn’t recognize their Washington appointed government as legitimate.
But you do you man, you can whatabout and bothsides all the way to the firing squad
Lmao. Tough talk coming from armchair generals as per usual when they’re not busy clutching pearls that the Ukraine military got absolutely dogwalked. Have fun with your oncoming cost of living crisis once the line stops going up because you were too busy frothing at the mouth at whomever the state department pointed you to. Be careful not to get a cold, might end up an indentured servant sooner than that.
