For more than three years, most of Russia has viewed the war sparked by the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine from afar. Now, some say, an audacious attack by Kyiv deep inside Russia means it has arrived on their doorstep.

For more than three years, most of Russia has viewed the war sparked by the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine from afar.

Now, some say, following an audacious attack by Ukraine that saw hordes of drones smuggled into Russia and then deployed on June 1 to wipe out dozens of long-range bombers, it has arrived on their doorstep.

In the Irkutsk, Murmansk, Ryazan, and Ivanovo regions, drones struck air bases, shocking Russian authorities and citizens.

“It was a fiery hell,” residents of the Irkutsk region told RFE/RL’s Siberia Realities.

In Siberia, some 4,000 km away, residents appeared to be shaken.

“Now the war has reached us too,” residents told Siberia Realities.

    Obviously, you’re the only one who seems to think anyone in this thread thinks otherwise. Creepily so.

      Why on Earth would you imply I “think otherwise”? Oh right, your verbal skills aren’t enough to answer a single fucking question in English.

      I forgot, izvini comrade.

      edit just a reminder, this is my personal knife, and it’s explicitly for killing Russian war criminals;

        The only thing I can conclude from your behavior is you’re trying to manufacture defense of putin out of nothing with performative anger and a refusal to comprehend responses to it.

          Stress on the pronoun “I” there.

          I’m manufacturing defense of Putin? Me? A member of the Finnish Defence Force? A Finnish reserve member, trained to kill cyka ruskis?

          Me who’s saying Putin is a pathetic balding whore afraid to even appear in public because his country hates him so? Putler, who has an ICC warrant ouf for his arrest?

          I bet you don’t dare to say any of those things.

          Please, prove me wrong in that aspect. Please

            Yes, manufacturing. Because everyone responding to you just must be defending putin no matter what they actually said. And you’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

              So you can’t say that Putin is bad, you keep saying I must be defending him, when I explicitly detail his warcrimes (which you’re too blyat to admit to), and I’m the one supporting him, despite me being part of the Finnish military?

              How do you explain that?

              Jesus your guys’ education is just such garbage. Almost as if you’re not even the same fucking species :D
