Both sides attacked each other "just ahead of peace talks". Headline makes it sound like Ukraine is the aggressor here. Also to remind, it is the second round of peace talks. The first one Putin didn't even think to attend while Zelensky was ready to. As well right after or before the first round Russia also did some nasty attacks. As probably did Ukraine. It's a war after all.
- The difference here is, Russia attacks civilian infrastructure and Ukraine attacks military planes.
  
  Yes, true.
- Yeah, the point is Ukraine can now go to the peace talks and say "Are you ready to quit and go home yet?"
- These are not worth anything. Peace talks I mean
  russia is trying to break Ukraine. And strongly believes it can or has to do it. Not conquer and occupy. It is a Stallinist method - let them be "free" and self regulate by installed puppets.
  russian diplomacy schools explicitly teach that you either are stronger or food for others.
  russian diplomacy schools explicitly teach to prolong, stall, distract, enrage until complacency is achieved.
"Oh, we thought you said piece talks."
I'm really looking forward to what Russia has to say today.
- They're already calling it a terrorist attack.
  Military grade FPV drones... Used to destroy military targets.... A terrorist attack...
  
  Retaliation will be purely using military drones against strictly military targets. Like hospitals or kindergartens.
  
  Those innocent missile carriers were just standing in the hangars!
  
  They are not at war, because that would make Putin a criminal, so not much options then.
the enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand!

Does anyone have links to the videos of the drones rising out of the containers mentioned in the story?

Glad to see it.
Even more glad to see it now that we're not the ones fronting the cash and material.
- By "fronting the cash and material" did you mean giving away our expiring munitions to someone fighting one of our greatest geopolitical rivals as they invade to chip away at democracy worldwide?
