Any facts or verification that this was actually done by Ukraine? Seems like it’d be pretty on point for Russian propaganda to throw a few drones at themselves to whip up fervor. Not to mention the fact that it could’ve been done by partisans in Russia itself. I’d label either of those more likely than Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure.

    The fact that Ukraine claims responsibility is a pretty strong indicator. Who else do you think would have done it?

    The Kremlin, as a false flag attack to justify something like broader mobilization.

    The West insisted that their weapons are not to be used inside Russia. I don't think Ukraine would want to risk the supply of weapons for small political gains.

    The damage is pretty mild compared to the ruins that Russia created with their missiles on major ukrainian cities. If moscovits are shaking bacause 10 windows of a single story got damaged, they are invited to ukraine and see what they are doing to the civil population there.

    Wasn't there a point where if Ukraine took the fight and crossed the Russian border, that Nato and Ukraines supporters would withdraw their support?

    People can turn away from supporting a war pretty quickly when it suddently reaches your doorstep.

    That is not what has ever happened at any point in time historically, I actually can't think of a single example. When war is on the doorstep support for your own side typically hardens massively.

    The times where populations have turned against wars have always been when the troops are fighting far away from home in lands that the home population feels they shouldn't be dying in.

    This will only make people cling to support for the military because they rely on it for personal safety.

    I hope it didn't kill any civilians.

    Can someone explain how they can fly drones that far?

    Or is it someone stationed locally who's soing the control?
