Vladimir Putin has awoken to one of the largest bombardments on Moscow and other parts of Russia after 30 months of bloodshed.

Ukraine unleashed 144 drones, targeting three airports in the capital and lighting up residential buildings in the region of Moscow, during what the Kremlin called a ‘terrorist attack supported by the UK and US’.

Debris from aircraft damaged at least two high-rise buildings in the Ramenskoye district in the early hours of Tuesday, setting several flats on fire.

A 46-year-old woman was killed and three people were injured, governor Andrei Vorobyov said on Telegram.

He added that 43 people were evacuated to temporary accommodation centres.

Footage circulating on social media shows flames bursting out of windows of a multi-story residential bloc.

Russia’s SHOT and Baza Telegram channels, which have close links o the security services, posted videos of the fires lighting up the sky.

Three of Moscow’s four airports suffered disruptions for almost seven hours as drones swarmed in the skies.

Salman Ghulam The Ukrainians shelling the houses of ethnic Russians in Donbass was an internal matter and nobody's business.

The Ukrainians were not "shelling the houses" - that's a Putinist propaganda

During Russia’s 2014-2021 military operations against Ukraine, 14,500 people died in the Donbas war. Of that 14,000, 3,404 were civilians, 4,400 were Ukrainian servicemen and 6,500 were Russian militants.

The figure Putinistas use, 14000, is the total number of casualties incurred in the Donbas war by both sides.

Data obtained from the reports of the so-called “Commissioner for Human Rights in the Donetsk People’s Republic” show casualty figures even lower than those of the United Nations. In a 2020 report the total losses of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) since the start of the war in Donbas are estimated to be 4,959. This is the figure that is officially recorded by the DPR “legislature”.

The report also claims that the majority of deaths occurred in 2014-2015, when 2,546 and 1,395 died respectively. In subsequent years the number of casualties in the Donbas war has significantly decreased. In 2016, 348 people were killed, in 2017 – 278, in 2018 – 154, in 2019 – 160 people. In 2020, 44 people died, marking the lowest casualty rate for the entire period of the armed conflict -- and that was mainly people dying from RUSSIAN land-mines

The number of deaths among the civilian population, which the “ombudsman” of the DPR cites in his reports, in recent years show only isolated cases of local populations’ deaths. In 2017, the number civilian casualties were 32, in 2018 – 19, in 2019 – 9, and in 2020 – 5 people. As these statistics attest, even official bodies of the self-proclaimed republics do not confirm the “mass destruction of the civilian population of the republics by Ukrainian Armed Forces.

You do realize that the ethnic cleansing was done by Putin's Russia, right?

Look at the deaths since 2014

look at the 14,000 killed in the Donbas conflict from 2014 to Feb 2022 -- civilians numbers 3,500 and evenly distributed on both sides of the conflict

25% of civilians killed were due to separatist land mines

Go back and check the veracity of the russian sites you are reading

Keeping this in mind, you really should stop repeating your false statements, Salman

RinaseaofDs We told the Russians we would not use NATO to encroach on their borders

That's another lie. Where are you getting this lie from?

LGBTQ General Milley is the only person who actually said Kiev in 3 days...

do you have any more “Russia eat dog” spam ?

[Cronos]

“when Russia fights back”

err.. muscowy started this war with its invasion in 2014

[Alter Kaker]

Russia didn’t the war. We did in 2014

Communist talking points. Are you a communist?

[Alter Kaker]

WHat the people think o f want concerning war doesn’t mean bumpkiss in Russia.

Of course it matters. It obviously doesn't matter in the context of elections, but public opinion matters in dictatorships too - and it can be very bloody for the dictators.

[Alter Kaker]

General Milley is the only person who actually said Kiev in 3 days...

Lukashenko said 3 days. Putin said two weeks. Captured Russian soldiers had plans for Kyiv to be captured within 12 days.

Spoiler alert: that was more than two weeks ago.

Russia is supporting the terrorists in Israel directly with troops on the Golan border, totally ineffective air defense systems in both Syria and Yemen.

There is no conflation. Those who support Russia are terror supporters.

Russians are not Americans. This just makes them more crazy mad. Americans might fold up and go home. Russians will make Kiev a very unpleasant place to live. Look to see more attacks on railroad system. No peace deals now—a long bitter war that even Trump will not be able to stop. They will be fighting for at least five more years if not ten. Only victor, China and the Turks. Loser will be the people of Ukraine.

Tell Putin to leave Ukraine. It’s not his country.

Tell your Biden to tell your Elensky to withdraw what's left of the Ucraycray army from the future Russian Federation oblasts of Kharkov, Nikolaev and Odessa.

Kyiv in 3 days! Bring your parade uniforms!

Crimea by summer 2023 2024 2025!

“Russians are not Americans. This just makes them more crazy mad. Americans might”

All the Russians will fight the nazi globo homos ! Russia stronk !

Now reality check: in Kursk they all simply packed up and run away. Even the military there barely fired a shot.

“Russians will make Kiev a very unpleasant place to live. Look to see more attacks on railroad system.”

And they will use actually what ? The North Korean ballistic missiles got blown up several days ago.
