Ukraine attached Moscow with over 400 drones 2 nights ago

Looks like Putin is taking it to the next level

This follows a very large Ukrainian 600+ drone attack into Russia the previous night, which reportedly targeted civilian areas. Russia said its retaliation would be on military, not civilian targets. We shall see.

Do you have a citation for the 400 Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow?

Stop making excuses for Putin. He is the one who ordered the attack and his is the one responsible for it.

From X

Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in connection with another large-scale enemy attack on the civilian population of Russia

▪️The Kyiv regime continues its terror campaign against the civilian population and civilian infrastructure across many Russian regions, including Moscow.

▪️According to the Ministry of Defense, from May 20 to 08:00 on May 23, there was a sharp increase in attacks—788 drone (aircraft-type) and Western missile strikes on Russian territory, including areas outside the Special Military Operation (SMO) zone. Air defense forces destroyed 776 drones and missiles; unfortunately, 12 UAVs reached their targets.
……..

Of course, Russia will respond appropriately to these large-scale terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime.

▪️Unlike the Ukrainian side, our retaliatory strikes will exclusively target military objectives and defense industry facilities

“This is all on Zelensky and NATO.”

Both detestable. Frankly, I disliked Z the first time I saw him. He keeps doing more and more stupid, destructive things. BTW, I have nice new neighbors from Ukraine, learning English quickly. They have family back there, went back to see them.

“Isn’t it dangerous there?”
“Not in the Southern part of the country.”

Hope that’s still true.

That is kind of like someone telling the police that they had been attacked when some guy's jaw kept hitting them in the fist.

Russian apologists have lost track of reality.

Here us one source but there are many

There were several waves of attack

Each wave got closer and closer to Moscow because Ukraine was trying exhaust Russian AD until finally Moscow itself was hit

You think the Western officers telling the Ukes to send almost 800 drones and missiles into Russia ( against civilians) is reality?

The Ukrainians are obviously at fault for not immediately surrendering to the nice Russia immigrants with their cool, shiny Kalashnikovs.

“This is all on Zelensky and NATO.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No.
This is all on Putin and his Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie Alliance.
You have not forgotten that he is allied to IRAN and NORTH KOREA. He has deals with Hezbollah and Hamas. Right?

Systematically protecting border-violators like Russia is profoundly anti-conservative.

Why is it wrong for Ukraine to protect its border from invading Russians who kill Ukrainian civilians?

Why aren’t you condemning countries annexing others territories? Only Dems are supporting thievery usually.

Would you be ok if a gang took control of 20% of your house?

Why appeasing crime? Why not supporting Peace Through Strength and Law and Order policies instead? Let’s be a true conservative. The times of the pro-Russia hippies are long gone my FRiend.

The Slavs chose to thumb thier nose at President Trump and the United States. They would rather continue to slaughter each other. You get what you ask for.
