In the wake of the latest drone attack on Moscow, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that it is “absolutely fair” for his forces to attack targets within the Russian mainland.
During a visit to the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk on Sunday, President Zelensky tacitly confirmed that Ukraine was behind the most recent drone strikes on Moscow this weekend, one of which was shot down and two of which crashed into an office building causing some damage.
Although no injuries were reported, it appears that Zelensky is intent on bringing the war closer to home for those in the Russian capital.

So there’s a double standard for Ukraine, when the Muscovites have leveled entire towns and cities there?
Russia could end the attacks inside Russia by ending the war and removing all their troops from Ukraine.
Whine all you want. Ruzzia gets to feel pain for their stupid war. Serves them right.
Have to wonder why Ukraine hasn’t taken the war to Russia before this. Passively playing defense isn’t going to end Russia’s aggressive invasion and destruction of Ukraine.
Sure, he can attack inside Russian territory....just not with U.S. supplied weapons which are provided for defense of Ukraine. Any USA weapons get used outside of Ukraine and the $$$/weapons gravy train stops.
Fair is fair, but our interest is to resolve this matter. Ukraine has limited time to kick the Russians out of the territories it conquered in 2022 and possibly also in 2014. Ukraine should be focused on liberating its lost territories. Its attacks on Russia itself appear mostly to be a diversion and, further, unnecessarily risk escalation.
Once we (Ukraine’s backers) are satisfied Ukraine has done what can be done to move the borders back, we (again, Ukraine’s backers) should support an armistice line backed-up by NATO troops, along with a path to EU and NATO membership. Ditto Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Russia will then have a choice: become the next North Korea (in the sense of an isolated nuclear power along with a heavily-armed border) or negotiate in good faith with the west for the restoration of trade and finance, and permanent borders with Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.
Mainly because they lack the offensive capability to do so. Plus they pretty much have their plates full just defending the homeland.
Some more drone attacks on Russia inside Russia are in order for the week it seems.
There’s NOTHING fair in war Zel !
While I agree that Ukraine is sighing it’s rights to attack Russia the pinpricks the Ukrainians have lobbed as Russia so far have no impact and they would be better off focusing their missiles and drones on the failed spring offensive.
Are you still feeling good about the gargantuan 5.8 mi.² gained at the cost of 26000 Ukrainian lives over a month Timber Rattler?
This should play out well...Medvedev has recently said if the Ukrainian counteroffensive(tm) is successful, nukes can be brought to the fight....
Empty threat bluster by a drunkard.
Bringing the war to the Russian population is a bit of a gamble. On one hand it could make the people mad enough to cause Putin to pull out of Ukraine. It’s not exactly a popular war with many military aged men leaving the country to avoid the draft. On the other hand the populace could get behind Putin and inspire more to join the fight. Could go either way.
And unicorns could inhabit the earth and crap out Skittles and gold.
Meanwhile, back in reality, your guy Biden is marching is toward WW3 with BRICS with a military full of fairies and woefully under equipped in real soldiers and an arsenal.
While I believe we should have no part in this fight, why should Russia be able to bomb the crap out of Ukraine but Ukraine not be allowed to respond in kind?
That makes no sense at all to me.
L
Let me put this around on you and pop your head gasket. "America could end the attacks inside America by ending their involvement in Middle East wars and removing all their troops from the Middle East."
Not that I believe most of my statement but flipping it around points out the idiocy of your statement.
Well, as long as someone else is footing the bill and supplying all the ammo, sure. As long as you keep supplying the bodies.
A real faustian bargain there fellas.
Another endless war, thousands of unneeded deaths.
Was there some outcry about it not being fair to attack the other side in war? Or was Zelensky just trying to spin it as if there was for propaganda purposes?
