Russia has been bombarded in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack of the war, Moscow officials have said, on the same day as crunch talks are set to be held between Kyiv and the United States.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight, a record high, as Ukraine hit back at a series of brutal recent attacks launched by Moscow.

At least one Russian civilian has been killed and several injured, with dramatic footage showing fires raging from the exploding drones including in high rise residential buildings near Moscow.

You're either pro or against war crime.

Bad news, you're pro. Go kill yourself and make the world a better place. Scumbag.

Having been to both countries, and made friends in both countries, this whole war really hurts to see. I hate the Russian government, but the Russian people don't deserve this any more than the Ukrainian people deserve being invaded. I can't give an opinion on how strategically "necessary" this was in the eyes of Ukrainian military leadership, but it's sad all the same.

the Russian people don’t deserve this any more than the Ukrainian people deserve

They actually deserve it a lot more than the ukrainians. Unfortunately, they have suffered almost nothing during this war, which is one of the biggest reasons why it keeps going on.

They actually deserve it

You understand that Russians are just people too, right? They aren't all a bunch of drooling savages who want to murder Ukrainians or anyone else. Not sure how you can say the Russian civilian population deserves to be punished for what their shitty government does. Have you applied that same logic to your own country and its people? Or is that just something you say about faraway places from the comfort of your own home?

Of course. And nazi-time germans were people too. And Republican voters are people too. Putin and Trump are people too.

I don't understand what you are claiming here, frankly. That being a human absolves sins? Very christian of you, I guess.

Geopolitics have nothing to do with it. You're either pro or against war crime.

Bad news, you're pro. Make the world a better place and shoot yourself.

The shit Muscovites are receiving a dose of their own fucking medicine. Shame it is not the same dose as Kiev receives.

One of them, yup. There's a real "my empire's better than your empire" energy here, and a tendency to totally forget (or deliberately ignore?) the working class to defend said empire. I don't block ml personally but I block a lot of people in it.

I don't really think that's accurate. Have you actually tried to have a conversation with Marxists regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war, or the Russian Federation or NATO in general? I think you'll be better able to make sense of Marxist takes, especially if you presumably haven't read Lenin.

"Forget the working class" he says, while cheering about civilians getting bombed.

What a scum lol
