After another drone attack on Russia’s capital this morning, Ukrainian military intelligence told Kyiv Post there is a “certain justice” in how Moscow’s residents are feeling.

    What was the target? I agree that there’s a sense of vindication, but answering war crimes with war crimes makes 2 war criminals, not justice.

    Edit: I’m genuinely asking what the target was. If it was a military target, then good. However if it was a civilian target, then it’s a war crime and we should not be celebrating.

    Edit 2: So we’re seriously breaking out the superpatriotism for a country most of us aren’t even citizens in?

      It was a warehouse at a Zagorsk optics factory.

      The company stated that the factory was currently manufacturing “pyrotechnics”

      I haven’t seen a single time Ukraine has targeted civilians this entire war. This feels like the typical Trump/Kremlin “just asking questions” disinformation

        Most of the war has been in Ukraine. At what point did they have a situation where they could strike Russian citizens before these drone strikes in Russia? I’m not making accusations. I’m being vigilant to potential violence against citizens.

          …are you serious? Ukraine might have the most powerful military in Europe right now, and they share a massive border with Russia regardless of the war.

          If they wanted to terrorize Russians like the Kremlin is doing to Ukrainians, it would be easy.

            It seems to me like you’re confusing combatants and civilians. Don’t worry, Russia does that too.

      I find this difference in how both sides are portrayed very interesting honestly. A anti-war activist was arrested and searched this week in Ukraine and I think it would be in the mainstream news, if it was across the border.
