A video shared by Ukraine’s police shows a Russian drone deliberately tracking a man at a market in Kherson. President Zelenskyy said the footage is evidence of Moscow’s “drone safari” against civilians.

      Do Ukraine hunt civilians? I haven’t heard anything to that effect. In fact everything I have heard about Ukrainian strategy and logistics suggests to me that they’d consider that to be a waste of a drone. And Ukraine aren’t doing so well in this war that they’d consider themselves at liberty to waste precious drones on killing random individual Russian civilians.

    It is like trust me bro…no way this could be a false flag… meanwhile ukraine is helping israel by attacking iran. The war is going full blown WW3 and truth no longer matters anymore. Get ready to be drafted for ww3 to die for PDFiles and their ambitions.

    Forgive the dumb question but how do you know what country a given drone is affiliated with?

      How do I know?

      Well, what are the alternatives? Are you suggesting that Ukraine targets its own civilians with drones? Or are you suggesting that, say, Turkiye is sending drones into Ukraine to target Ukrainian civilians?

      How does Ukraine know?

      The debris from the drone can be inspected and the type of drone can probably be identified. Different countries use different drones.

      Why do you ask?

      EDIT: And according to Zelenskyy, the Russians have even admitted to it, though I don’t know what he bases that on.
