What Meduza’s readers think about the Ukrainian drone attack

On the night of June 18, Moscow and the Moscow region came under the biggest UAV raid since the start of the war.

We asked readers from the Moscow region to share their opinions and emotions about what happened. Within a few hours, we received dozens of letters.

Here are some telling quotes:

✹ “I’m scared because everything is getting more expensive, because everything is being banned. That’s what scares me, not a burning oil refinery.”

✹ “Reasonable people already understand what’s what, and stupid people will only grow more embittered.”

✹ “I have always been against this government, but unfortunately, a drone does not choose who is for it and who is against it.”

✹ “It doesn’t matter anymore. It didn’t hit us today, great. We hope it won’t hit us tomorrow.”

✹ “Now war is reality. If that was Ukraine’s goal, to awaken feelings, it seems they succeeded.”
