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.

If you want to look at what bombing schools and hospitals actually looks like then look no further than Gaza and the genocide western regimes are openly supporting.

I'm not defending Ukraine. In fact, I'm not defending anything. I'm pointing out actual facts of the situation.

Russia didn't invade Crimea. They already had an agreement with the legitimate government of Ukraine to station a base there. Then when the west overthrew the government in a violent coup, Russia moved in to annex Crimea. Gotta put a bit more work into your propaganda there to make it more credible sounding champ.

Russia started when they invaded the Krim. All of Europe shrugged their shoulders because of cheap gas..... Russia is quite clearly a fascist state so I really do not understand your apologies for it. It's probably the only state that is more capitalist than the US, so why defending it?

Yes, history started in February 2022, context does not matter. You are very intelligent.

Russia's been bombing Ukrainian schools and hospitals, if Russia does retaliate I don't think a drone attack on war planes is sufficient to call it "provoked".

And when Russia inevitably retaliates we'll be reading headlines about unprovoked escalation by Russia.
