Ukraine reportedly launched at least 337 drones into Russia on Tuesday in the largest-yet drone attack of the Moscow-Kyiv conflict, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

It came just before US and Ukrainian delegations were scheduled to meet for negotiation discussions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Russia set the previous drone-attack record a little over two weeks ago, when it launched 267 drones at Ukraine in a single night on Feb. 23.

Ukrainian officials have yet to comment on the Russian report.

Zelensky’s V Weapons don't seem to be very effective, even against soft civilian targets.

This is pretty much a terrorist campaign against the Russian people with a goal of stirring up public anger against Ukraine in the Russian people to destroy public support for Putin engaging in peace talks and to frustrate President Trump's plan for a negotiated peace. .

Zelensky touts his drones as the best the world has ever seen but they cannot even hold a candle to Hitler's V-2 from 80 years ago.

They are pretty much flying claymores from the looks of the damage patterns so they do minimal damage to military targets and are just being used as terror attacks against random civilians.

Not sure this is the kind of military policy that the US should be supporting and it shows that President Trump's decision to terminate the Ukraine's access to US real time ISR was a very wise decision.

This attack really highlights both the fact the Ukrainian leadership is not ready for peace and that the Ukraine is falling apart militarily.

Touting a terror attack by three hundred flying claymore mines against civilian targets as a major and presumably best effort military offensive on the part of the Ukraine is just flat pathetic in strength and disgusting in concept.

This is Hamas style stuff, but even the Hamas water pipe missiles were more effective than Zelensky's drones. .

Perhaps those three hundred drones would have been better used against legit military targets to try to blunt the Russian offensive that is encircling and cutting off the Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region. No shortage of legit military targets there for sure.

Sad, but Zelensky and his band of dead enders in the Ukraine and NATO seem bound and determined to see the Ukraine go down in total defeat before they will see a negotiated peace with Russia.

At least they can blame defeat on President Trump which seems to be their current strategy. .

Can you give me a reference for that $350 billion number for the total USA aid to Ukraine?

I have been searching for a legit total but it’s difficult to pin down.

There are different figures all over the net

And the Russian drones and missiles targeting schools, playgrounds, apartment buildings, and markets for the last 3 years aren’t terrorist attacks? I don’t hear any concern for Ukrainian civilians in your response.

I see where Trump says we gave Ukraine $350 Billion.

But the Pentagons says Trump is wrong, that it’s $183 Billion.

The Russians are absolutely not innocent on this either - the ruins of Ukraine's cities attest to this. Make no attempt to excuse this and really want to see the senseless destruction of this insane and unnecessary war on both sides to end.

That said, the Ukrainian military has been using the Hamas tactic of hiding their military assets, warehouses and command systems inside civilian building to protect them from Russian attack and fuel a propaganda narrative if they are attacked. That is a fact beyond dispute.

A recent example of this is the Russian targeting of a “civilian apartment building” with a missile. The news report went on about Russia hitting an innocent civilian target but then they ruined things at the end when they noted that 40 foreign “volunteer activists” who had been staying at the apartments were not injured because they were away from the building at the time.

Forty foreign “volunteers” were staying there? Curious. Kind of makes you go hmmmm...

Russia simply dies have enough weapons to spare any for non military targets.

Much of the civilian destruction is also the collateral damage from successful Ukrainian intercepts of Russian missiles, drones and aircraft . You shot down an aircraft or missile laden with bombs and warheads to protect the intended target and they will land someplace and do unintended damage.

My point is not excuse or overlook anything.

Ukraine has lost the war and they need to negotiate the best possible peace they can. The only leverage that they have in these negotiations is that which President Trump provides while negotiating on their behalf.

And make no mistake about it, despite media propaganda to the contrary Trump is negotiating hard for the short term and long term interests of the Ukrainian people, which are not the same and are, in fact , very much counter to the interests of Zelensky regime and his foreign allies. I think Lindsey Graham said it best and most tellingly , "You're (Zelensky) the ally I've been hoping for all my life. Not one American has died defending Ukraine." he also characterized that as " the best deal ever"

And he is absolutely right in a sense. He does neglect to mention the fact that much of the Ukraine is destroyed , it's economy shattered over 1.5 million Ukrainian and Russian troops and god only knows how many civilians have been killed or seriously wounded, the lives of many more still living have been destroyed and the Ukraine has been depopulated by at least 25% in the process.

All for proxy war to attrit Russia for no good purpose a war that could have ended on far better terms for Ukraine without the death, suffering and destruction 3 long years ago

I know there was a article posted here on FR, where Trump was quoted saying it was $350 billion.
Can’t remember the specific thread.
I’ll ping you, if I find it.
