For more than three years, most of Russia has viewed the war sparked by the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine from afar. Now, some say, an audacious attack by Kyiv deep inside Russia means it has arrived on their doorstep.

For more than three years, most of Russia has viewed the war sparked by the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine from afar.

Now, some say, following an audacious attack by Ukraine that saw hordes of drones smuggled into Russia and then deployed on June 1 to wipe out dozens of long-range bombers, it has arrived on their doorstep.

In the Irkutsk, Murmansk, Ryazan, and Ivanovo regions, drones struck air bases, shocking Russian authorities and citizens.

“It was a fiery hell,” residents of the Irkutsk region told RFE/RL’s Siberia Realities.

In Siberia, some 4,000 km away, residents appeared to be shaken.

“Now the war has reached us too,” residents told Siberia Realities.

        You realise you’re still avoiding insanely simple questions, right?

        Unlike some, no matter what I say here, I don’t have to fear physical reprisal. Unlike Russians. In Russia, being a journalist is extremely fucking dangerous, and that’s why most Russians are afraid for their lives and would never admit what a small-cock authoritarian Putin is.

            Eugh. Such a bore, just vomiting the names of fallacies, not even understanding how one uses them.

            Well, make it clear for everyone. You admit that Putin is a war criminal who should be seized and trialed for crimes against humanity, IMMEDIATELY? Right?

              Obviously, you’re the only one who seems to think anyone in this thread thinks otherwise. Creepily so.

                Why on Earth would you imply I “think otherwise”? Oh right, your verbal skills aren’t enough to answer a single fucking question in English.

                I forgot, izvini comrade.

                edit just a reminder, this is my personal knife, and it’s explicitly for killing Russian war criminals;

                  The only thing I can conclude from your behavior is you’re trying to manufacture defense of putin out of nothing with performative anger and a refusal to comprehend responses to it.
