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.
It’s rampant everywhere. You should know that better than anyone.
Ah, the old “it’s equally bad everywhere”.
No it’s not. Finnish forums don’t have the same issue, for instance, since it’s hard for Russians to learn the language. Same with most other non-English services.
Reminds me of the Russian guy who sort of tried admitting that Putin is a bad person (but didn’t admit to his warcrimes) but he only ever did that in sentenced where he would basically add a disclaimer; “… like all world leaders.”
Nope. Putin and Zelensky aren’t on the same line. Putin is a war criminal wanted by the ICC for his various crimes against humanity. Zelensky is an actually empathic leader defending his country.
I think the problem here is you somehow think you’re arguing a different point. You’ve missed the context of these posts so badly that you’re attacking only people on the side you claim to be on.
I’m not attacking anyone. I commented my own thing — as is allowed online — and you’re pretending you can’t even see what I’ve written.
