Ukraine has launched a “large-scale” drone attack against Russian military bombers in Siberia, striking more than 40 warplanes thousands of kilometres from its own territory, a security official said.

The claims could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, the attacks would mark Ukraine’s most damaging drone strike of the war to date, amid an escalation in cross-border incursions before planned peace talks in Istanbul on Monday.

“Ukrainian security services are carrying out a large-scale special operation aimed at destroying enemy bombers far from the front, in Russia,” the official was quoted by Agence France-Presse as saying, adding a fire had broken out at the targeted Belaya airbase.

You asked what left wing policies exist in Russia and I gave you examples. You're so bad at trolling.

Four weeks holidays are not left wing policies unless you think of the EU as socialist. Nothing in the reddit quote you sent sound left wing in any sense. Unions? Taxing wealth? Your post doesn't mention anything like this. Instead it refers to the mob.

Nobody is claiming Russia is socialist. However, it clearly has better workers protections than many western countries. Your claim that Russia is fascist does not hold any water. It's just a regular capitalist shithole that mirrors the west.

Mate, it clearly doesn't. I mean your own link refers to Russia being run by the mob. Many EU countries have still unions with power. So, really what are you talking about better worker protections? That is utterly absurd!

LMFAO imagine claiming that labour has any power in the EU. What I'm talking about is your imbecilic claim that Russia is fascist. Using your own definition, the whole west is fascist.

I never defended the West. You defended Putin and that is the part that is absurd.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I never defended anything. I simply pointed out basic facts of the situation. You seem to intentionally conflate that with making some sort of a moral judgment.

[-] [email protected] -5 points 4 days ago

You absolutely defended Putin trying to make him sound left wing. Why?

Yogthos quite clearly is taking the stance that the Russian Federation is right-wing, but not far-right like the nationalist dominated Ukraine, which has increased the influence of neo-Nazi factions like Azov and upholds Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborating anti-Communist. This doesn't make Russia a Left-wing paradise, just not far-right like Ukraine.

I absolutely do not, but being utterly intellectually dishonest you're going to keep repeating that.
