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.

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.

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?

Ah there's the slip up. You want a distinction between different types of American voters. Sorry bud.

All Americans are guilty under their government, no matter who they voted for.

Get rid of your blue maga brain rot before it totally cripples you.

Nono, you are thinking to small. See, it's not just all Americans beeing guilty under their government. You see, even non Americans should fight it. And since they clearly have failed so far ALL humans are guilty. Even you.

That is where your logic leads to. What a bunch of bullshit.

[–] lemmingthelemmers@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

That was not my logic, but their's laid out in a consistent manner before them.

I do not subscribe to the idea that populations are guilty of the crimes of their governments. Propaganda works in all directions.

Politics is not a red vs blue team sport. Getting rid of that idea is part of solving the equation.
