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.

    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?

              Four weeks holidays are not left wing policies unless you think of the EU as socialist. Nothing in the reddit quote you sent sound left wing in any sense. Unions? Taxing wealth? Your post doesn’t mention anything like this. Instead it refers to the mob.

                Nobody is claiming Russia is socialist. However, it clearly has better workers protections than many western countries. Your claim that Russia is fascist does not hold any water. It’s just a regular capitalist shithole that mirrors the west.

                  Mate, it clearly doesn’t. I mean your own link refers to Russia being run by the mob. Many EU countries have still unions with power. So, really what are you talking about better worker protections? That is utterly absurd!

                    LMFAO imagine claiming that labour has any power in the EU. What I’m talking about is your imbecilic claim that Russia is fascist. Using your own definition, the whole west is fascist.
