The Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday that it shot down two drones overnight that were headed toward Moscow as there’s been a significant uptick in Ukrainian attacks on the capital city.
“An attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by unmanned aerial vehicles over the territory of the Moscow Region was thwarted during the night. Two drones were shot down by air defense systems,” the Russian Defense Ministry said, according to Russia’s TASS news agency.
According to The New York Times, Russian officials have said they intercepted a total of 12 drones targeting Moscow over the past few weeks as the attempts to hit the city have become a near-daily occurrence. Some drones have struck buildings in Moscow, causing minor damage.
The uptick in attacks on Moscow came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the war was “gradually returning to Russia’s territory, to its symbolic centers and military bases.” Ukraine has broken from its previous policy of being ambiguous about who was behind attacks inside Russian territory.
In early June, the Times reported that the Biden administration was no longer concerned about Ukrainian attacks inside Russia escalating the war, signaling that the US tacitly backs operations against Moscow. The report said that during the first year of the war, the administration was worried Russia could retaliate by attacking NATO.
Ukraine has also started attacking Russian ports and ships, which it says is retaliation for Russia’s bombardments of Ukraine’s port infrastructure. A Ukrainian official told POLITICO on Tuesday that “everything the Russians are moving back and forth on the Black Sea are our valid military targets.”
“12 drones” and “few weeks” (which means 3 or more).
Soooo……
4 drones each week?
Ukraine is really throwing them at them.
Another couple weeks of this …..
……and Putin might laugh himself into a hernia.
This has the fingerprints of anyone else other than Ukrainian.
Says the forensic expert / anal yzer.
Please tell us who killed Kennedy.
I knew I could trigger you out of the sewer.
As Ukraine’s “counter-offensive” unravels, the Uke-Nazis will commit their weapons to terrorizing civilians.
Kiev is using the cluster munitions against civilians in Donbass. On August the 5th they heavily shelled the center of Donetsk with cluster munitions. At least five civilians were killed in two days, dozens more were wounded.
Cluster munitions are mainly useful against infantry and civilians, not against tanks, bunkers and trenches on the Russian defense lines.
The civilians in Donbass, especially in the city of Donetsk, have been attacked with US-supplied artillery ever since 2015. Back then they drove around Donetsk with a mortar hidden in a garbage truck, shelling homes at random to terrorize the people. Every year they’ve especially attacked the people on Christmas and New Years.
Now during the war, every time Russia advances on the battlefield the shellings of civilians intensify. The Ukrainians are also shelling Russian towns and villages.
Kiev signed the Minsk agreement about autonomy for Donbass, but Poroshenko has admitted it was only to buy time to build a stronger army. The UN documented the shelling on the border, and how Zelensky increased it to about 100 times a day in the fall 2021.
Hey JoeMet,
Do you know who has been using cluster munitions against Ukrainian civilians in addition to white phosphorus and a sh!tload of other weapon systems? You nailed it. Your little emperor, Putin.
Have you called that out?
Also, did you know Russia went scorched earth on Ukraine since last year?
You suck.
I am coming to believe that there is no part of the world that the US can not fuck up. They are trying very hard to increase their unpopularity with every country except NATO. The US is laboring under the fallacy of exceptionism but the rest of the world is not fooled. We are good at killing andv selling useless products and not much else.
I wouldn’t be so sure about any occupied countries in Europe. There is an incredible amount of hate toward Pentagon grunts. The imperial propaganda machine is spending significant amount of resources to hide and silence any “incidents” and “hate speech” toward imperial occupation. Unfortunately people can’t do much to remove these pests. Anglo-American occupation is worse than termites.
Who are you? You mentioned me on a site calling itself Censor Free Zone but when I went to see or reply it was replaced with “censored” because it was removed (saw the curious post in your feed) as was a different post. But there were 3 other posts that weren’t that had comments. Those comments were trolls communicating with themselves exchanging long lists of email accounts that were obviously Discus accounts those trolls were running.
Where do you live?
Do you get paid to post?
I would never ask such questions but when someone posts at a site used by trolls to communicate with each other and then deletes it so others can’t see it, one must ask who you are or at least ask, are you a paid troll like your friends?
I don’t know why you’re having trouble. You can read and reply to that post from my profile.
https://disqus.com/by/Andreygreshenko/
A profile? I am supposed to believe a profile?
I asked you a yes or no question.
Why are posting about your activity here on a blog used by paid Discuss trolls?
Are you a paid troll?
You can’t be that ignorant. It’s a Disqus profile. You have one as well. With open profile other people can read your posts no matter where you post.
Still no answer.
Why are you communicating about your deleted post to someone on a blog used by paid trolls to exchange long lists of Discus accounts?
You asked me what Tommy deleted. I answered you. Quit running wild conspiracy theories in your head.
Yes or no.
You did not reply to me with the post. You posted on a site used by paid trolls to communicate between themselves and my name was included in the paste. That is how I was notified.
You did not reply to me.
You believed by deleting that post on that blog I would not see it but I can on your feed. It is not a reply to me obviously.
Are you a paid troll or not If not, then why did you communicate with someone on a blog used by paid trolls to exchange lists of Discus accounts?
1/ their scurrying evasions – no surprise
2/ i myself wouldn’t have engaged – the falsity is actually disgusting…
2/ still…there may be a point leaving a paper trail – which both
a/ identifies the rat’s nest as such, leaving a record for other readers; and
b/ in so doing, marks them off from actual anti-war folks – making it harder for mainstream/right wing media to smear antiwar as an antifa front
I lean towards him being autistic given his prolific posting but that website is just odd given it is a inactive one and he deleteted
that post as soon it was read and upvoted 4xs…on a inactive blog!
Yes his over the top pro Russian stuff is a curious trait too given he’s located in the eastern US (per the mod) as if he’s trying to make Russia folk look totally nutty.
Just because we’re paranoid does not mean they aren’t out to get us ….to paraphrase Heller.
Notice he’s lurking and downvoting but not answering questions ….lol.
I’m leaning “special” not nefarious to be truthful…lol.
1/ i am sympathetic to that ‘non-neuro-typical’ condition, having run into it as a public teacher, plus w/ one ‘extended family’ member on the spectrum
2/ that said, possibly a somewhat higher % on the spectrum are drawn to antifa for its rigidity and factionalism – an easily learned substitute for other kinds of thinking and social-political activity … so … a pitfall of autism, ie…
3/ though i’d still say antifa’s ‘autistic features’ have mainly social causes.
4/ ‘doesn’t mean not out to get you’?
yea, could be real or fake irrelevant ‘leftism’ – doesn’t really matter…i’d say real here because the link (yea, i bit…) was an american accented voice ridiculing u.s. soldiers in poland on dual imperialism AND ‘george floyd’ grounds – and in the US, of course, antifa tried to be not just ‘anti-fascist,’ but the ‘more-militant-than-thou’ wing of blm…
5/ btw – i don’t follow russian bloggers/russian news closely, but i’ve never read actual russian stuff making ‘pro-russian’ statements like that poster
I used to work in social service jobs in Waiver homes and hourly services and have met quite a few folks on the spectrum and the guy just has my spidey sense going about a diagnosis he may have, given comment sections do attract special folks 😉 because it is safe place whereas real face to face stuff is not a fun activity if even available to them.
Those up votes he got from that quickly deleated post that was made on that inactive blog could be just a “follower”.
He has quite a few (his followers have to be a cast of Star Wars bar scene type characters 😉 and I’m sure a few encourage him with upvotes for various reasons.
To tell you the truth, given I suspect he really is as I believe, I hope he’ll just avoid me because he does not need to waste his time with long post just for a “thanks for your input. Not ghosting but just don’t engage other than noncommittal pleasantries as long as he is semi nice. If he is actually autistic there’s no need to be mean.
Where is that incredible hate? You even see people in Bulgaria, for example, wearing the NATO star as a penchant. Approval for NATO has risen dramatically since the war started. Interest in a beefed-up defense has risen, as everyone thinks “if Russia conquers Ukraine we will be next!”
How about Poland?

It was Zelensky who fuhcked up Ukraine, and before him Poroshenko, both of which shelled the people in Donbass. It was Zelensky who ramped up the shelling to about 100 per day in the fall 2021, and then more than 1,400, even 2,000 one day, in February 2022, while having amassed an invasion army of 60,000 soldiers. It was Zelensky’s way to be a “war president” who “solved Donbass” in the next election.
Zelensky’s approval rating in the summer 2021 had plummeted to just above 30%. That is because of the “land reform” where he sold out Ukraine’s public land – 10% of all farmland to China for example, other land to Biden-allied BlackRock. His TV show, his inofficial election campaign since he didn’t have any other campaign, promised a fight against the oligarch with no division between Ukrainian speakers and Russian speakers, and he had promised to “make the shooting stop” at the border. But the Azovs by the Donbass border simply refused when he went there, and then you see them by his meeting table later. The voters got the exact opposite of what they wanted.
Obama agreed to Biden’s coup, financed by five billion, but disapproved of attacking Donbass, though gave Ukraine weapons. Trump likewise disapproved, though he gave them even more lethal weapons than Obama, because the Dem media claimed he was a Russian agent. Biden didn’t order the attack but gave Zelensky free reins. Biden, after all, having been paid a fortune by Ukraine. But the decision to invade Donbass was Zelensky’s. Russia however stepped in before the attack was launched, so most people will never know.
Russia could destroy all government buildings in Kiev if they wanted to, such as the Defense Department and the presidential residence. But they don’t. If Kiev could do the same to Russia, they would in a heartbeat.
When Russia were outside Kiev Zelensky and his ministers were hiding in a bunker. Zelensky was deadly afraid. One minister recounted how he sneaked out once to eat at a restaurant, but Zelensky stayed. Zelensky wanted the Israeli prime minister to ask the Russians not to attack the presidential residence, and he couldn’t wait for the answer – when the Israeli was on his way from the meeting in Moscow to the airport, Zelensky called him. Having heard the Russians weren’t going to bomb government buildings, Zelensky immediately called for a camera crew. Three hours later he had made a movie about how BOLDLY he was staying in his residence, telling Putin, “If you want me I’m right here!”
Zelensky’s actions were a lie by omission, he’d been hiding in a bunker the whole time. And he’s a hypocrite, getting assurances for Kiev’s govt buildings but then attacking the ones in Moscow as much as he can. This is the actor who is praised by the globalist media.
Zelensky’s sociopathic behavior makes good company for our western sociopaths; they all ride the same cretin clown car – no loyalty, no morals, no conscience, just arrogance worshiping Money and Power.
Are we asking (and I mean we) Russia to level Kiev?
Yes, you, Putin lovers are asking Putin to level kyiv.
“Z said…the war was ‘gradually returning to Russia’s territory, to its symbolic centers and military bases.’ Ukraine has broken from its previous policy of being ambiguous about who was behind attacks inside Russian territory.”
A tactics of desperation:
“Symbolic centers”? “Symbolic” military action in the face of the disastrous failure of the actual military counteroffensive is more like it – failure so massive and ghastly that even western mainstream media was forced to admit it.
