Russia says Ukraine has launched an overnight drone attack targeting Moscow for the second night in a row.

All four of the capital's major airports have been closed temporarily to ensure safety, Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said on Telegram.

Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on social media at least 19 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed before they reached the city "from different directions". He said some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city, but there were no casualties.

Ukraine has not yet commented on the reports

it is not hard Ukraine. Destroy all of Russia oil refineries and the war will be over, they will have no more oil and no more money. And they will take a decade to rebuild them

no, I just understand strategy.

Attacking an airport accomplishes nothing.

Russia can pump endless oil, but if they have no way to refine it, they have no way of making money, and no way to power their army.

Oil Refineries are Russia’s Achilles heel.

Heck I think most of the world feels the same way about ukraine, except for the mighty and powerful warmongers. At some point a nuke disaster is inevitable. False flag or not.

And we’re getting sucked in further with Team Z again.

Very unfortunate.

And if Ukraine succeeds in doing that, they’ll be nuked into oblivion. After that, WW3 featuring global thermonuclear war.
This has to stop before the world destroys itself.

We all should know by now this whole thing is scripted. I fear the final outcome.

End all military aid to Ukraine, and recognize East Ukraine as Russian, and the war will end.

A minerals deal, more weapons sales, and more of a defensive shield.

Not the sort of stuff to send Z the right message.

Our Freeper Russian troll farm is incensed. Too bad. Leave Ukraine and all the killing stops on both sides.

Exactly. If his nation is destroyed economically he’ll be like Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone.
“Hallelujah, the missiles are flying!”

Zelensky and the various neocons have no idea what they’re playing with. They could easily get us all killed.

they are not going to use nukes to respond to an attack on their refineries anymore than they will to respond to an attack on an airport
