Summary

Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow since the war began in 2022, injuring one person and disrupting flights at major airports. Moscow intercepted 34 drones, and fires were reported in nearby villages.

The attack coincided with a U.K. report estimating October as Russia’s deadliest month, with 1,500 Russian casualties daily, totaling 700,000 losses since the conflict began.

Meanwhile, Russia launched 145 drones against Ukraine, hitting Odesa and damaging multiple buildings. Zelensky also reported that North Korean troops, deployed to support Russia, have faced casualties in combat against Ukrainian forces.

    We are at the tit for tat stage now. Attack Kyiv, we attack Moscow. Attack civilian target we attack oil storage.

      Isn’t that a good thing? Cause it makes russia at least somehow feel some consequences?

        It is. Game theory 101. If you want behaviour to stop this is how you do it.

        Edit: it’s good to see Ukraine kan now reliably accomplish this.

          Yep. Most successful strategy with an opponent who can’t or won’t discuss terms is simply to retaliate as often as they betray you.

            it is literally the only strategy. force a stalemate. if you judge your opponent is capable of change, then generous tit-for-tat is a productive alternative. putin is not such an opponent.

              You seem to agree and disagree with me in the same comment.

              Every human being is capable of change. Hitler was even capable of change; he killed himself when he realized he lost.

        Usually civilian targets are avoided because it galvanizes the population’s opinion to pro war but in Russia’s case it doesn’t seem to matter much anymore.
