Moscow targeted again as Kyiv steps up drone attacks inside Russia

Russia says Ukraine targeted Moscow with drones on Sunday, the latest in a series of attacks that have brought the Ukraine war to Russia’s capital.

The Russian Defense Ministry said three drones were intercepted but a business and shopping development in the west of the capital was hit. The fifth and sixth floor of a 50-story building were damaged, and no casualties were reported, state news agency TASS reported.

Videos showed debris as well as emergency services at the scene.

A spokesman for Ukraine’s Air Force said the latest drone attacks on Moscow were aimed at impacting Russians who, since the Kremlin invaded Ukraine in February 2022, felt the war was distant.

“There’s always something flying in Russia, as well as in Moscow. Now the war is affecting those who were not concerned,” the spokesman, Yurii Ihnat, said on Ukrainian television.

“No matter how the Russian authorities would like to turn a blind eye on this by saying they have intercepted everything … something does hit.”

Ukraine’s military has increasingly been deploying unmanned aerial vehicles for more than just reconnaissance.

Ukrainian Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, whose Digital Transformation Ministry oversees the country’s “Army of Drones” procurement plan, had said there would be more drone strikes to come as Kyiv ramps up a summer counteroffensive aimed at pushing Russian troops out of Ukrainian territory.

Who do you think collapses first, the Biden or Zelensky regime? They've both had a bummer of a summer.

Isn’t intentionally targeting civilians a war crime? Did he just admit to it?

Why doesn’t Biden just give to his blackmailer Zalensky and declare WWIII?

The main question is how is it different from 9/11, apart from a magnitude? OBL has some legit grievances towards America as well.

These stories sound good but they do nothing to change what's happening on the battlefield. From what I've been seeing in videos Ukraine urgently need mine clearing vehicles and equipment. Russian minefields are maiming and killing so many Ukrainians. I don't blame the Ukrainian soldiers who don't want to be sent to their death in a Russian minefield. Where are all the mine clearing vehicles? It's not like Ukraine and nato didn't know they would have to breach Russian minefields. Maybe the money and mine clearing equipment went to the black hole of corruption and kickbacks. I keep hearing stories of soldiers never being paid and commanders collecting the benefits of dead soldiers. Those are great morale boosters.

--- "It's not like Ukraine and nato didn't know they would have to breach Russian minefields. Maybe the money and mine clearing equipment went to the black hole of corruption and kickbacks."

Any -- pro-Z, pro-P or "not my circus" -- who would say that "the black hole of corruption and kickbacks" are not happening and do not exist are beyond naive.

Or they are somehow invested in entities which profit from "the black hole of corruption and kickbacks." By which, at the minimum, I mean some in and surrounding the Biden administration.

Sounds like Japan in the last 6 months of WWII - militarily pointless attacks done to create fear/outrage - because its the only option remaining.
