MOSCOW – Ukraine attacked Moscow on Wednesday with at least 11 drones shot down by air defenses in what Russian officials said was one of the biggest drone strikes on the capital since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022.
The war, largely a grinding artillery and drone battle across the fields, forests and villages of eastern Ukraine, escalated on Aug. 6 when Ukraine sent thousands of soldiers into Russia’s western Kursk region.
For months, Ukraine has also fought an increasingly damaging drone war against the refineries and airfields of the world’s second-largest oil exporter, though major drone attacks on the Moscow region – with a population of over 21 million – are rarer.

Ukraine keeps up the drone attacks, and Putin might get angry and invade Ukraine. Better watch it, Zelensky.

Our weakness tells Putin that nuking Ukraine is a real option.

Ukraine keeps up the drone attacks, and Putin might get angry and start supplying serious arms to our enemies.
There, fixed it for you. I wonder if you'll still be cheering when hamas sinks a carrier.

The attack was made to keep Russian Air Defenses in the Moscow region and away form the front. Not an intensification, except to the Air Head who wrote the click bait.

What happens when they run out of drones, because at some point you’re going to run out of other people’s money to fight your proxy wars for you...if the war is even where all those billions have gone. We don’t know, because nobody has ever been held accountable for any of it. The U.S. has been fighting proxy wars with Russia and China for 70+ years, far longer than L.B.J’s War on Poverty, which like all those other proxy wars, and taxpayer-funded programs, never ended in success, except for the politicians in D.C. and their big donors lining their pockets via investments in the military industrial complex.

The Ukraine war, like Syria is a European pipeline war. The sanctions against Russia did exactly what I said during the first wave of war funding… uniting China and Russia.
The green global fascists require the natural resources of Russia and China. They have everyone else’s.
Putin is no friend, but pushing enemies into a corner is dangerous.

Yeah right, their Energy Minister stated 80 percent of the entire countries electricity is gone, St Z defaulted on a huge portion of debt, wondering now how to even pay their soldiers not to mention their currency is tanking, infrastructure is in ruins, $6-800 billion to rebuild, demographics show only 14-16 million Ukies left in country, male population decimated etc , etc…..and the war cheerleaders want us to believe they are winning?
Laughable.

Seems to me that it's you Russian supporters who must be on drugs, for more than 2 1/2 years, claiming that Ukraine had already lost and had no more soldiers to throw at the fight. Stupid is as stupid does, and you and Russia have been doing the stupid things, for more than 2 years, going on 3. Quit now before Ukraine takes over your country.
