Accusations do not equal facts. If China must be falsely accused, let's see whose fist is bigger.

btw: This is exactly why China will not sacrifice its interests for the EU.

Xi Jinping asks Europe who?
China’s endgame is Taiwan, then possibly creating a chinese union in the Far East.

Russian did use strategic bomber to lob missile, so even tho if these are responsible for that directly (We don't know) taking them out take out strategic capability, and those are very hard to replace (Already hard enough even if you have money, that's why even US and China have a very low number of them as well)

On the other hand, Russian response is probably going to be fixed, they are already at war, I mean it's not like India and Pakistan over May, there were already airstrike and missile/drone strike launching between the two all year long, there aren't much Russia can do to escalate the thing, they can shoot more missile/drone but since they don't have unlimited supplies, shooting more now = shooting less later, and they can't expand the war as they were already bogged down themselves, if they can expand the war, they would have achieved breakthrough already.

Details of the Ukrainian operation Spider Web, an attack by FPV drones on Russian military airfields, have become known. The operation was prepared for 1.5 years, it was planned to attack the airfields "Belaya" - Irkutsk region, "Olenya" - Murmansk region, "Ukrainka" - Amur region, "Dyagilevo" - Ryazan region, "Ivanovo" - Ivanovo region. As a result, 2 airfields were attacked, "Belaya" - Irkutsk region and "Olenya" - Murmansk region. It is worth noting that the operation was truly large-scale. To carry out the operation, a warehouse was rented in Chelyabinsk, hundreds of FPV drones were delivered there, and later "mobile wooden houses". It is possible that the FPV drones were assembled on site. These houses were placed on trucks, and FPV drones were hidden under their roofs. The wooden structures were designed in such a way that their upper part could be opened remotely. From this warehouse, trucks were then sent to other cities, one of the truck drivers was later found dead. The drones were controlled on non-standard frequencies, so electronic warfare had no effect on them. Presumably, cellular communications were used to communicate with the drones, some sources reported on Starlink terminals located in the forests. Trucks with containers stopped on roads and parking lots, after which drones took off from there. One truck was blocked by drivers in the parking lot, in the video people throw stones at the top of the container with drones, it is worth noting that there is a police car nearby. It can be said that thanks to the drivers, many planes were saved. Several containers caught fire and exploded on the highway on the way to the airfields, presumably the drones overheated in the containers. The video shows a truck in the Amur Region, if it and other trucks had arrived, there would have been more destroyed planes. How this could have been prevented, first of all, this is the work of the special services, but they are now overloaded with identifying sabotage and terrorist attacks. It would be possible to reduce losses if the aircraft were placed in hangars, they have been talking about them for 3 years, but so far only projects have been shown. Also, we need anti-FPV groups. Cellular communications, including "Starlink", should be jammed at airfields. Electronic warfare and air defense systems are already present at some airfields, but no one expected threats from FPV. Also, we need anti-FPV groups now. It is worth noting that no air defense systems or air defense systems in the world can confidently hit FPV drones. Satellite images have already confirmed the destruction of three Tu-95MS and damage to one aircraft at the Belaya airfield, and four Tu-22M3s were destroyed. We also saw a burning An-12 on video, but it is not in the pictures. There is no video about the Olenya airfield, the SBU of Ukraine did not show anything, but there was a fire there. Thus, the loss of 40 aircraft is not confirmed at the moment, but videos may appear later. It turned out to be a fake that the drones had artificial intelligence, and in the video they were controlled by operators.

Apparently trucks were used to smuggle the drones close to the bases. Major intelligence operation by Ukraine and its European allies and major Russian intelligence failure at the same time. This kind of operation takes weeks even months to conduct. Probably Zelensky and his Europeans friends want to sabotage the talks which were scheduled for today in Istanbul. Russia had tacit Trump administration approval for a deal to stop the war but now it looks like Russian response is imminent. And the response can be tactical usage nuclear bombs.

This is major decisive development in this 3 years of Russia Ukraine war. Keep an eye on this. This is going to get very dirty moving forward if talks fail today in Istanbul.

That window has come and gone, if the Russian can take out Zelenskyy the first couple of weeks in this war, that may make a difference. When you have a head of state that defy all the odds and lead their country out of an annihilation, if you kill him now, you make him a Marytr forever, it's like somebody assassinate Stalin a month after WW2 ended, even if Russian can do that now, anyone with minimal counter-insurgency training would tell Putin, who was a former KGB by the way, not to.

This op is going to take years, if not multi-year to pull off (they claim 18 months, but I would assume longer) They wouldn't know 18 months ago there are going to be talk today.

And there aren't going to be nuclear response.......First of all, if they would nuke Ukraine, they would have done it at least 8 months ago when Ukraine invaded Kursk, this is a lot less than when your own soil is invaded. Second of all, tactical nuclear missile won't work in a total war.
