Ukraine executed another bold drone assault deep inside Russian territory on Sunday, temporarily shutting down two of Moscow’s busiest airports.
The strike not only demonstrated Kyiv’s growing reach but also raised alarm bells among U.S. national security experts, who warn America could be just as vulnerable to such a surprise attack. (RELATED: Ukraine’s Covert Drone Strike Marks Dire Warning For US)
This is why nobody cares about ungrateful Ukraine anymore – we give them 300 billion dollars and they blame the USA for an attack because they did a huge drone attack the day before a peace negotiation – then this absolutely clown blames Trump.

Russian air defense systems intercepted multiple drones flying toward Moscow, prompting authorities to shut down Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports early Sunday morning, Reuters reported.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the incident on Telegram, saying that emergency teams were deployed to the crash sites. Both airports resumed operations later that morning, according to Russia’s Federal Agency for Air Transport.
Russia said it was advancing into Ukraine’s eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, Reuters reported. The move came amid stalled peace negotiations and a failed prisoner exchange agreement that had been brokered just days earlier in Istanbul.
Ukraine had covertly smuggled containerized drones into Russian territory over several months, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported. The drones were then remotely activated on June 1, targeting critical Russian military infrastructure, including bomber fleets and air bases. The same containerized drone systems used by Ukraine could, in theory, be deployed within U.S. borders by a foreign adversary or terror group, bypassing conventional defenses, sources told the DCNF.
