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.

    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.

      I never defended the West. You defended Putin and that is the part that is absurd.

        I never defended anything. I simply pointed out basic facts of the situation. You seem to intentionally conflate that with making some sort of a moral judgment.

          You absolutely defended Putin trying to make him sound left wing. Why?

            Yogthos quite clearly is taking the stance that the Russian Federation is right-wing, but not far-right like the nationalist dominated Ukraine, which has increased the influence of neo-Nazi factions like Azov and upholds Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborating anti-Communist. This doesn’t make Russia a Left-wing paradise, just not far-right like Ukraine.
