Russia accuses Ukraine of second drone attack on Moscow skyscraper

Russian authorities have accused Kyiv of another attack on Moscow and its surroundings with drones, one of which hit a building in the capital that was damaged by a drone just days ago in a similar attack early on Sunday.

Russian officials have claimed that the intensified attacks on the capital region reflect failures in Ukraine’s counteroffensive, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that “the war is gradually coming back to Russian territory,” but stopped short of taking responsibility for the attacks.

The same building is struck twice. What does it say about Moscow's air defences and Ukraine's ability to accurately hit their targets? Excellent psy ops success for Ukraine.

Russia has no right to criticise anyone

Zelenskyy offensive failed miserably (since June 4, 42 000 hapless Ukrainian conscript were slaughtered in these senseless, suicidal Zelenskyy's meat wave attacks). Zelenskyy regime is on its last legs. Its final demise is a matter of months not years . With catastrophic failures on the frontlines of the war, Zelenskyy regime resorts to terrorist attacks as one Austrian artist did in 1945. Meanwhile Zelenskyy goons are literally rounding up civilians including even disabled in the streets and even without minimal training throwing them into the meat grinder . I suppose it's done not to achieve any breakthroughs, but to avoid immediate front collapse. This desperate cannon fodder tries to surrender or run away at the first opportunity, so the only way to control them is to push them forward at gunpoint.
