Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out an air strike against a fuel depot in the Russian city of Belgorod on Friday, an incident the Kremlin said set an unfavourable tone for peace talks with Kyiv.
Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said he could not confirm or deny reports of Ukrainian involvement in the strike as he did not have military information. The Ukrainian Defence Ministry and the general staff did not respond to requests for comment.
Video footage of the purported attack -- the first accusation of a Ukrainian air strike on Russian soil since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 -- showed what looked like several missiles being fired from low altitude, followed by an explosion.

“An unfavorable tone...” ROFL
GOOD!
the noive!
Oh how terrible. The humanity. Oh my.
Good.
Now they should bomb Putin’s house.
Maybe we should give the Ukraine NUKES.
This could go further south very quickly. 2022 don’t look good.
So how did these antiquated Ukrainian helicopters penetrate Russia’s modern state-of-the-art air defenses?
Well according to the Putinista, soon to be on this thread, this is either propaganda, peace loving fatherland Russia allowed it or both.
That’s OK. If we get drawn into it, it won’t last too long since Biden drained out strategic fuel reserves
Please, focus on our collapsed Southern border, crime, inflation and our own illegally installed rogue government. Americans are suffering and dying while you focus all your attention elsewhere.
Yes, all those fantastic SA-400 (or whatever they're called) anti-aircraft missiles they've been selling all over the mid-east, saying they were as good as the best American theater defense systems.
REEEEE!!!! How dare they! Russia should invade Ukraine for this! …..oh wait
So? 2020 didn't look very good either, nor did 2021.
Having your armies marching around Ukraine and rocketing their cities also sets ‘a bad tone’ for peace talks....
Squeal like a pig, boy!
If the Ukrainians were truly interested in peace, they would have attacked a hospital.
