Russia launches over 700 drones in attack on Ukraine • FRANCE 24 English

Russia broke its own record again overnight with its largest ever drone and missile strike against its neighbor. The latest in a series of escalating air assaults in recent weeks. Kev’s military downed almost all of the drones, but said some of the six hypersonic missiles launched by Moscow had caused unspecified damage. Falling debris in the key region caused a major fire in the industrial zone with warehouses storing timber going up in smoke. Firefighters also battled all night in the town of Lutzk in the west, which was targeted despite being hundreds of kilometers from the front line. Donald Trump declared that the United States would in the end send more weapons to Ukraine in a reassuring U-turn for Kevie. I instructed Ukraine’s Minister of Defense and the commander-in-chief to intensify all contacts with the American side. This primarily involves air defense as well as all other elements of supplies from the United States. On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his growing frustration with the Russian leader for, as he sees it, prolonging a war. Trump wants to conclude. We get a lot of [ __ ] thrown at us by Putin for you want to know the truth is very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless. I’m not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now. criticism that does not seem to phase the Kremlin. We are quite calm about it. In general, Trump has quite a tough style in terms of the phrasing he uses. We hope to continue our dialogue with Washington and our course of action aimed at repairing the badly damaged bilateral ties. Keefe denounced Moscow’s massive overnight attack as telling of Russia’s rebuff of peace. Diplomatic efforts have stalled since two rounds of talks in Turkey last month.

Russia on Wednesday launched its largest drone attack since it started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago, pummeling its neighbor with over 700 drones as Moscow escalates its assault. Russia’s latest offensive comes amid sharp criticism from US President Donald Trump, who decided to resume US transfers of “defensive weapons” to Ukraine after accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of making “meaningless” commitments to ending the conflict.

  10. Ever see a pattern here? Putin and Trump makes a phone call then Putin strikes Ukraine the next day or so. Then Trump make a statement that he condemns Putin.

    Trump and Putin is in this together!

  11. Hahahahahahah 😂😂😂😂hahahaha 😅😅😅😅😅hahahaha, PEACE ONTO RUSSIA ❤❤❤❤ SLAVA SLAVA SLAVA PUTTIN ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  12. I am in Ukraine and most of the drones are either duds or brought down with no damage to most of the targets. There may be record numbers, but far less effect.
    If this pattern continues, meh. Ukraine has obviously done well dealing with the incoming air attacks.

  17. So if they shut down all the drones and some of the hypersonic missiles, why the panic for more air defence it looks like they’re doing okay
