The Facts

  • Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on the Russian capital on Tuesday, killing at least one woman and damaging dozens of homes.

  • Without specifying how many Ukrainian drones were deployed or how many evaded missile defenses, Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down a total of 144 unmanned aerial vehicles over nine regions overnight — including 20 over Moscow.


The Spin

As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it launched thousands of drones and missiles into the country, killing thousands of people. In striking back, Ukraine is making ordinary Russians feel the price for Pres. Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion.

As predicted by Russia, the worse that Ukraine does on the battlefield, despite the millions in military aid it receives, the more it will resort to terrorism by striking at civilians in Russia. Russia has a plan for dealing with this.
