Ukraine has launched a “large-scale” drone attack against Russian military bombers in Siberia, striking more than 40 warplanes thousands of kilometres from its own territory, a security official said.

The claims could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, the attacks would mark Ukraine’s most damaging drone strike of the war to date, amid an escalation in cross-border incursions before planned peace talks in Istanbul on Monday.

“Ukrainian security services are carrying out a large-scale special operation aimed at destroying enemy bombers far from the front, in Russia,” the official was quoted by Agence France-Presse as saying, adding a fire had broken out at the targeted Belaya airbase.

      Nah, pretty sure these are the actual fascists

      You’re like baby Goebbels thinking that if you just repeat your propaganda enough times it’ll become the truth.

            Calling Putin in any sense left is absolutely wrong. The left is not exactly thriving in Russia is it?

              Last I checked KPRF has 30% of the vote in Russia and is the main opposition, but let’s not let facts get in the way of you spewing bullshit.

                Sure, even if true, you are defending the government, not the opposition

                Edit: I mean tell us, what left wing policies are pushed forward in Russia?

                    “In Russia under Mafia rule we get four weeks of vacation” WTF??? I mean that is some great advancement of left thinking. We let the mob rule and get some base holidays in return that are more than in the US but less than EU. Are you for real?
