Russia launches drone strike on Ukraine | DW News

Let’s move on to the war in Ukraine the country’s military says Russia launched a major drone attack overnight but it added the 32 of the 46 drones launched were shot down that’s a day after Ukraine’s Air Force hit a large Russian warship docked in the port of fod doia

In occupied Crimea Russia has confirmed the ship was damaged and says one person was killed Moscow says its air defense systems destroyed the Ukrainian fighter jets that targeted the ship something that Ukraine denies DW’s Maas vinga has the latest on that Ukrainian strike in Crimea yeah media reports suggest that

The damage might even be bigger than we thought yesterday satellite imagery uh shows that next to uh uh the uh place where this ship this big Landing ship was a place that’s not empty another ship has also disappeared from the port so there could be even greater damage uh

It also seems like uh or the Russian authorities have said that they found uh the remnants of Storm Shadow these are the British cruise missiles that uh Ukraine obtained a few months ago um that these uh were fired at this position nearly 50 attack drones were launched against Ukraine overnight

Matias what more can you tell us about that yeah it seems that the drones that have not been shot down uh came came down mostly near the front lines uh these it’s it’s not seldom even these days that uh large number of drones uh flies into Ukrainian territory most of

Them are shut down but some of them hit their targets but it seems that these drones are not anymore uh targeted at the big cities um uh although Odessa is sometimes still in focus and some other cities where the Russians presume that air defense might not be as strong as

Here in keev so um it it it looks a little bit like uh the use of these drones has changed somewhat twws Maas Binger there talking to my colleague Terry Martin earlier in the day

Ukraine’s Air Force said on Wednesday that Russia attacked with a total of 46 unmanned aircraft overnight, almost three-quarters of which its air defense systems were able to shoot down.

  6. As Russia is the invader, the US would have supported it financially and militarily. but the US is not interested to support Russia as Russia doesn’t massacre toddlers, Russia doesn’t destroy infant incubators, Russia doesn’t expel Ukrainians, Russia doesn’t commit genocide So the western support goes to the typical invader- Israel

  7. I did some research on Google and found out that the distance between Kyiv and the closest Russian border is about 236 miles. Now, listen to this: the total straight line flight distance from Washington, DC to Kabul, Afghanistan is a whopping 6,938 miles! It's absolutely mind-boggling to think that for a whole two decades, the United States was able to lend a helping hand to the people of Afghanistan from a distance of 6,938 miles. And here's what blows my mind even more: even after a whopping 672 days of operation, Russia still can't control Kyiv.

    When the US was running things in Afghanistan from so far away, women like me were able to attend schools and colleges.

  13. We all know how this is going to end, largely because it truly ended by 2015 (a year after Ukraine and the world de facto accepted Russia taking Crimea and part of the Donbas). Ukraine didn’t mobilize hundreds of thousands back then when it would’ve been easiest to take things back with small arms and numbers.
