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.

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.
