The Kremlin said on Wednesday that attempted overnight Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow ahead of the commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany showed Kyiv's tendency to commit "acts of terrorism."
Russian air defense forces downed 14 Ukrainian drones on Wednesday, the city's mayor said, as Kyiv targeted the Russian capital for the third consecutive day.
The drones forced most of the Russian capital's airports to close hours before Chinese President Xi Jinping was due to fly in for a visit that Kyiv has made clear it opposes.
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "The Kyiv regime continues to demonstrate its essence, its propensity for terrorist acts."
Peskov said that Russia was doing everything it could to ensure the security of the commemorations, which world leaders, including the presidents of Brazil and China, are due to attend this week.

Entirely US based sources.
I am surprised the Russian comments did not include a threat to use nukes. It IS Wednesday.
Boo freaking hoo. So make peace with Trump, Vlad, or take it like a man.
Ukraine is Messing Around and going to Find Out it’s not amusing after the parade.
Yeah, Russia might invade and start bombing their cities. Oh, wait …
No one ever thought Ukraine would go easily, a dying, desperate, last gasp of air from a dying nation…..” to the last Ukrainian “ was prophetic.They are flatlining.
Joe’s narrative is dead.
Judging by the current state of Ukraine, Zelensky is well into the FO stage of FAFO.
Sadly, all of Western "Civilization" couldn't say No to this in their leaders:
On one hand I think your enemy’s military parade is a legitimate target during a war. On the other hand, imagine if the Chinese president gets killed by a Ukrainian attack. China would immediately throw its entire military industry into support of Russia. I’d tread carefully if I was Ukraine.
All’s fair.
Shoulda waited till Vlad and Xi were actually in the bleacher stands full of generals for the actual parade.
Then send in 200 drones and wipe them all out!
Bam, pow, kill them alllll!
Ukraine would be well within their rights to flatten Moscow if they had the wherewithal to do so.
“No one ever thought Ukraine would go easily,”
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Since the initial attack, pain, destruction and bloodshed has been caused, with hundreds of thousands killed and millions more displaced from their homes. But it wasn’t supposed to be like this.
According to research by the think tank RUSI, when Vladimir Putin began his invasion, he expected to take control of Ukraine within 10 days. So what went wrong? Why did his plan fail? And how close did he come to succeeding?

Don’t hold your breath. If Russia could do something powerful, they would have already done it. Russia can’t do much with Donkeys and motorcycles. And you Russian Bots are always talking about what Russia is GOING yo do. Maybe Russia is not listening to y’all because they never do what you promise. Because they only know how to bomb civilians and hospitals.
“Ukraine is Messing Around and going to Find Out it’s not amusing...”
Just wait until the ground freezes !
