Russia's being offended by someone doing what they're doing back is kinda funny.

[joe.oneill]

Russia repelled the attack by putting some of their military aircraft into the path of the drones. Sacrificing the aircraft to save the Tarmac. 😂

[DavidGetling]

So many more Russian airports need the same treatment: especially Moscow and St. Petersburg.

[vinylrebellion]

Awesome. This is what we need to see daily, and hourly.

[SUBASHKUMAR-wzzx]

Russia always 😭😭😭😭😭 they should also feel the 🔥

Russia has been so degraded by pensioner Putin who lives in the past. It has no future unless there is dramatic generational change of leadership in Moscow.

Russia gets what Russia deserves. Slava ukraini 💙💛🇺🇦✌️

[willkerslake]

Talk about being hypocritical, calling Ukraine's actions terrorism, it's a war! Ukraine is only giving as good as it gets, although better by all accounts. Slava Ukraine!!

[bombheadgames]

Only 500 days in and Ukraine has shown the inventiveness and ability to develop such capable drones and carry out these strikes.. Imagine what it will achieve in 1000 days! .. Let's hope they try to avoid civilian casualties though.

The overwhelming amоunt of approving and cheering соmments by ordinary Russians in response to videos about the atrocities committed against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were equally as shocking to Ukrainians as the war itself.
We somehow became accustomed to the war, but the realization of who we have been living alongside all this time without even knowing it is still horrifying.
Those sаvаgеs referred to themselves as our brоthеrs.
Just imagine what they would do to you, who they саІІ their enemies, if given the chance.

Engaging in negotiations with Russia is lіkе negotiating with ЕbоІа vіrus. That's why any peace agreement lacking a clear victory for Ukraine is nothing but a temporary сеаsеfire.

It was always a matter of time for Ukraine to learn how to do special operations from its big neighbour teacher

[RichardsWorld]

She called it special military operation. We can see you are biased.

[lawkid]

What did the russians really think? That they will just sit back and enjoy the war in ukraine...no way, now the tides have change, ukrainian taking the war to russian

[RoxxaneDuck]

Russia vodkaholic - "its not right that you're attacking us... not fair!"

[Rovsau]

Could you please source where Russia says Ukraine is performing terrorist attacks?

[ericvulgate]

And we are just going to keep sending them billions of dollars in weapons instead of taking care of our own problems.

[steveb]

Seems like Russia's AA is only good at shooting their own down. 🤣😂

[seanbumstead]

They are wasting these drone strikes, they should be consentraiting them on targets on the front lines

[everTriumph]

Now do those aircraft really exist, or are they just Ilyushin's?

[calvinaitkin-sfup]

Pope Francis will be disappointed that Ukraine is fighting back.
