Breaking Major Sabotage Attempt Inside Russia Civilians Killed And Strategic Bombers Destroyed

---

 Today  2nd June 2025 both Russia and Ukraine are resuming their 'ceasefire talks' in Istanbul. Today is a big day. But most obviously certain parties do not want the ceasefire talks to continue or come to any beneficial conclusion.
Just over 12 hours ago there were two sets of attacks against two different sets of targets inside Russia. They were obviously designed to sabotage the peace talks in Istanbul today.
One set of attacks involved civilian passenger trains. One attack took place near Bryansk and the other attack was in the Kursk area. In both cases civilian passenger trains were attacked. In both cases bridges were involved. In one attack an overhead highway bridge was exploded and it fell on a civilian passenger train that was passing below it - the timing was perfect. In the other attack the bridge on which a civilian passenger train was travelling was exploded and the bridge  collapsed with the train. Seven civilians have been reported killed. The story is still new and news is coming out.
 






The second set of attacks are possibly more alarming - not to belittle the loss of lives in the train attacks - but FIVE of Russia's TU-95 strategic bombers were destroyed by drone attacks. What is quite audacious is that these strategic bombers were located thousands of miles apart across Russia from airbases in Murmansk to Amur (distance 3200 miles or 5200 km). 



The attacks were carried out simultaneously using drones that had been pre-loaded into special 40 ft shipping containers loaded on the back of container trucks driven by unsuspecting commercial truck drivers who did not know what they were hauling. The planning, logistics and execution of these attacks was complex and detailed. It smells of one culprit and one culprit only - the British. 
In the other sabotage attacks against the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline in 2022 the Americans were involved (according to Seymour Hersh) as well as the British. The British were almost solely responsible for the July 2023 naval drone attack against the Crimea Bridge (Kerch Bridge). Both those attacks were during Joe Biden. Since Donald Trump became president of the United States in January 2025 and his strong opposition to the war in Ukraine there is no way these latest series of attacks against Russia involved the Americans.   Again it smells of one culprit and one culprit only - the British. 
There are two videos here - one by Lt Col Daniel Davies and another by George Galloway. About 20 minutes each - you can scroll if you dont have time.
From a military strategy point of view, there was absolutely zero value from exploding two civilian passenger trains (some reports say three trains were attacked)  which would certainly kill civilians.
Fire bombing TU95 bombers located over 5,000 miles away in Siberia has no great effect on the war in Ukraine. The TU95s were obviously kept in storage so far away. Plus Russia has hundreds if not thousands of other bombers which are more lethal than the propeller driven TU95 (below).


 

These pin prick attacks were not even a statement.  The timing - just one day before the Istanbul ceasefire talks resume - was designed to sabotage the efforts to end this war. The British want to keep the war going.
The talks are already on the way because BOTH the Russian and Ukrainian delegations have arrived at location in Istanbul.  And the Russians have said they will continue with the talks. 
It is most likely that the Ukrainian delegation would have had no prior knowledge of these sabotage attacks inside Russia.  Which will place them in a very difficult situation today in Istanbul - this second round of ceasefire talks have been planned for weeks already. Why attack civilian trains and kill civilians just 24 hours before the peace talks? They cannot be that stupid. 
Indeed this is similar to the Pearl Harbour moment where (due to delays) the Japanese ambassador in Washington delivered the Japanese ultimatum to the Americans about ONE HOUR after the Pearl Harbour attack had already begun.
My advice to the Russians is send those two flat tops to the bottom of the sea. That will stop them dead. 
Here are the videos by Lt Col Davies and George Galloway. Both are worth listening.
