Hand it to the Ukrainians: They’re not only fighting heroically on, more than three years after Moscow launched its savage and utterly unprovoked war to destroy their nation, they’re fighting with cheek and style.
The latest, of course, is Sunday’s surprise drone strikes on airbases deep inside Russia, targeting strategic warplanes that have been pummeling mostly-civilian targets in Ukraine.
It counts as an intelligence coup, too: The drones were infiltrated to near their final targets over months, with Vladimir Putin’s massive internal-surveillance agencies left utterly in the dark.
Then again, Vlad’s secret police were caught clueless back when the Wagner Group launched its aborted coup two years back: Putin should be losing sleep over what else his minions might be missing.
And any Russian patriots looking to save their country from his disastrous misrule can only be emboldened.
Nor can Moscow complain that Kyiv launched these strikes on the eve of a fresh set of peace talks: Putin is the one who’s refusing any kind of ceasefire, and he’s had his forces in overdrive ever since President Donald Trump launched his diplomatic drive to stop the slaughter.

Assuming the New York Post's Editorial Board is correct in assuming Putin will be pushed into talking peace.
However, it is safe to assume the New York Post's Editorial Board is safe in the Post Building in New York, regardless of what Putin is pushed into doing, so they remotely Find Out.
Ukrainians, not so much, they Personally Find Out.
You should be careful what the NY Post asks for, ... you may get it.
So? Apparently the Ukraine attack was real, not gaslighting.
They planned it for 18 months. Trump wanted a ceasefire 4 months ago.
4 months ago everyone had a chance to avoid this.
Why are people upset that Ukraine destroyed Russian nuclear bombers?
They use those bombers to launch the cruise missiles into Ukraine. Now they have less.
I had some tasty French fries today while you were off waiting in line for your daily ration of Belarusian spuds at your local communal market, Ivan.
Life is good.
Hilarious 🤣
Ukrainian civilians will be bombed nightly by russian drones and missiles, like they have been for three years.
According to a blog post by Lauren Mai at the CSIS | Center for Strategic and International Studies published on May 30, 2025,
The United States’ absence from the 50th anniversary commemorations of the end of the Vietnam War in Ho Chi Minh City, coupled with recent cuts to programs addressing war legacy issues, has strained its relationship with Vietnam.
ukraine magically and near instantly, got the drones, trucks, and people all together and inplace to attack the russian base and planes, as some response to an attack by russia today?
Wow!, if ukraine was so magical, why haven't they just wished putin into the cornfield?
What’s the NY Post editorial board going to say when they realize all it did was escalate the conflict? I want to see that editorial of apology posted on their website.
This was a stupid move.
An excellent way to push Congress to stop sending $$$BBB to the Comedian, who has apparently proved he can fight with cheap weapons. Let the EUnuchs step up so we can bring down our debt back into the $35 trillion range…
That will certainly spike oil and gasoline prices back up to Slow Joe levels.
Good for the Texas economy, nevertheless, and that’s never a bad thing.
Wow. Once again, Zelensky agreed to a US proposed TOTAL ceasefire, which Putin rejected.
So who really doesn't want to stop fighting?
IF Putin had agreed to this ceasefire, he would not have lost 1/3 of his long range bombers.
In the meantime russia has been bombing Ukraines cities nightly with drones and missiles so Ukraine planned this attack which took 18 months to develop.
Not sure where you came up with your "if ukraine was so magical" bs
Ridiculous. Now Pootie-Poot feels he must escalate. I bet he’ll remove all anti-civilian sanctions now, and follow with a major, major bombing attack on cities.
that’s the one ... can you find someone to create a thread with it?
I may do it…
An excellent way to prompt a coup and get a general worse than Putin to permanently put out the lights in Kiev.
And your asshat idiots removed a chunk of the Russian recallable nuclear attack capability.
Nice job dumbasses. This will only result in dramatic escalation.
What kind of idiot is upset russian nuclear launching bombers were destroyed?
Ny Post is Neo- Con
Putin should have taken President Trump’s Easter ceasefire deal.
