With millions of Ukrainians having fled the country (including to Russia), assuming it's true, this is impressive:

Important to note it would also include refugees from Eastern Ukraine who escaped to Kyiv.

Bryansk Oblast borders both Ukraine and Belarus:



Interesting....





Coincidence?

Seshcha is the only Russian Airbase in Bryansk Oblast.

Russia continues to have an ethos affected by being invaded through the lands of the Northern European Plain, and thus security from outside threats is an big priority for many Russians.
If the Russians really cared about their security, they should have just sat on their asses and not attacked neighboring countries. And certainly not become a vassal of the country where over fifty million of its citizens and the whole multi-thousand-year culture were once exterminated by own government just for fun.

I do wish people would stop mis-using the word "refute" though.

(unless the Ukrainian side has cast-iron *proof* he is still alive, in which case its usage is correct)

The writer meant dispute. English is not the writer's first language.

Loads of people who *do* have English as their first language also misuse the word these days.

Kremlin says it was attacked by 2 drones last night, Putin Safe

Russia said the 2 drones were shot down

Good move by Ukrainian.  Ukrainian's strategy should for sure include hitting deep into Russia

Russia claims drones attacked the Kremlin to assassinate Putin

This smells like bs justification for new aggression by Russia.

This is the most staged thing to ever be staged. Putin loves fake atrocities to justify real atrocities.

Real pyrotechnics in that Moscow drone explosion, no matter who's behind it. Someone's sending a message.

Those are the weakest "explosions" I have ever seen. Combine that with the fact that there were firefighters on the roof already and this is the lamest false flag operation that has ever been concocted.

Lets wait and see.

If it is a false flag, then they will do something big that needed justification.
If it's not, then they will do nothing as usual.

Putin and Co. just don't have the skill set to put on a performance that has enough verisimilitude to enable one to suspend one's disbelief. Whatever that fire cracker thing was didn't even hit the building as the white suits watched the light show from the stairs on the roof. Putin, you will have to do better than that to generate the false news to try to justify going to the next level of war criminal depravity.
