The attack comes as senior US and Ukrainian officials prepare for critical talks in Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine will present a partial ceasefire proposal.

Ukraine targeted Moscow with dozens of drones in a "massive" overnight attack, the city's mayor said on Tuesday, March 11, with Russia's defense ministry claiming it shot down 337 UAVs across the country.

"The Defense Ministry's air defense continues to repel a massive attack by enemy drones on Moscow," Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram.

Funny how pooty is suddenly amenable to a ceasefire *after* Moscow gets hit by drones. Total coinkydink, I'm sure.

Need Russians in the streets protesting the war and oligarchs. Things can't be going too well if their capital is getting strikes

That’s why the republicans love them. Telling lies = strength.

It's an old fashioned strategy that still works.

Every single bomb was stopped by either a building, or the ground. 100% succesful intercepts!

that's the Axel Schulz-strategy (the famous, german boxer who came up with the plan "I'll simply slam my head against the opponent's fist until he gets tired. Then...I've won!)

Looks like Russia is using buildings and refineries to intercept drones again

>The Kremlin on Tuesday condemned Ukraine for launching drone attacks on residential buildings.

These fucking people. I hate hypocritical war criminals.

Good. Let the comfy little shits far from any hardship feel some sting of their own. Get the populace angry, and you might get some real progress towards an *actual* ceasefire.

Good, keep it up Ukraine!

If the Oligarchs and their families feel safe in Moscow, they don't mind bending over with the wind. But if the war comes to their doorstep, in this case as drones, they might reconsider that tune.

Ah the red building has been retrofitted with insulation and a thin layer of weather protection, that's why it looks like banana peel.
