Moscow has vowed to retaliate after Ukrainian missile and drone attacks killed at least 14 people in the southern Russian city of belad Russia’s defense Ministry says a dozen Rockets were destroyed over the region the strikes came a day after a huge Russian barage across Ukraine killed at least 39

Civilians shock and disbelief the daytime assault set off air raid sirens sending people into the streets Russia says the attack hit a residential area the Kremlin reported shooting down dozens of Ukrainian drones and Rockets as far away as the Moscow region the city of belgrod is just 30 km

From the Ukrainian border and has been shelled before keev usually doesn’t claim responsibility for attacks on Russian territory but previous heavy Russian assaults on Ukrainian cities have been followed by strikes against Russia on Friday Russian forces launched more than a 100 missile and drone attacks on cities across Ukraine like

Here in Odessa Ukraine has described it as the biggest aerial barrage since the start of the war almost 2 years ago Russia Drew sharp criticism at a United Nations security council meeting Mr President tragically 2023 is ending as it began with devastating violence against the people of Ukraine once again ukrainians are forced

To spend holidays seeking shelter clearing the rebble and burying the dead amids freezing temperatures Russia has now requested a security council meeting about the strikes on belgrod calling it a terrorist attack and saying it will not go unpunished keev has reported additional Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian

Soil for more on Russia’s massive aial assault on Ukraine on Friday I asked doila sakar Moro a security Analyst at King’s College London what this says about Russia’s capacity to rearm well what it actually showed was that uh Russia was ready to use a lot of

The missiles and the sort of cruise and and um ballistic missiles as well as gron that it had produced over the last years year in particular and that it was ready really to um make a show of force what this also indicates is that um you know it shows that the Russians actually

Have revamped uh their industrial capacity very much over the last two years this began very soon after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine uh when Russia the the Russian leadership uh together with loyal oligarchs decided to sort of uh um start setting up uh the Russian economy on a

War footing and already last year we saw Russia using missiles that were produced in 2022 so this should not come as a surprise uh I think that um the Russians uh seem ready to uh invest very much on defense spending uh which is expected to increase about 70% in

2024 um the this would represent over 6 or 6.5% % of uh Russia’s um output GDP output and uh and and uh the defense spending is intended to be around between 35 40% of overall defense spending so I think that the Russians you know clearly are ready to uh

Continue with this war and to be ready to achieve some of their objectives uh so that that is really what is showing what is what Russia is attempting to achieve I think is to sort of uh send a message to the West but uh you know

There is no point in rearming Ukraine or helping Ukraine because Russia has a capability to hit very effectively and hardly uh on a massive scale if necessary

Moscow has vowed to retaliate after Ukrainian missile and drone attacks killed at least 14 people in the southern Russian city of Belgorod. Russia’s defense ministry says a dozen rockets were destroyed over the region. The strikes came a day after a huge Russian barrage across Ukraine had killed at least 39 civilians.

  1. No sympathy for Ruzzians. The war is happening right at their doorstep and they keep pretending nothing is happening.

  8. It's probably a bad idea for Ukraine to attack the civilian population centers of a nuclear armed power like Russia.
    They have the ability to escalate beyond anything Ukraine wants too see.
    And it's not like the UK , France or the US are going to exchange their own cities for the sake of saving Ukraine.

  9. I fear the seeds our own government is sewing across the world. Russia is reaping their own harvest of hate.

  10. වයිරෙන් වයිරේ නොසන්සිදේ බුදුන් වහන්සේ වදාල සේක. යුක්රේන් /රුසියාවේ හෝ ඊශ්‍රයාල් /පලස්තීන අහිංසක ජිවතයී විනාශ වෙන්නේ. සාමය උදාකරන්න සියළුම රාජ්‍ය නායකයින් විසින් කරන්න ඉක්මනින්.

  18. Russia has proven itself to be a consistent liar and trickster. To speak their language take the opposite message, they are weak, low on ammo and desperate.

  19. Russia launches strategic missiles only at night to reduce the number of civilian casualties. Ukraine launches rockets at the city during the day – this is done to kill as many civilians as possible. That's all you need to know about Ukraine.

  23. Russians don't target civilians like the Ukrainians blatantly does. Ukraine installs their defence systems in civilian areas making it a war crime. That is the cause of the civilian deaths and Russia can disprove each and everyone of these allegations. The Ukrainians attack in broad daylight when everyone is preparing for new year. The Kiev killers are truly terrorists and so are the NATO Who supplies them with weapons training and financial support. Just look at the blood trail of NATO all over the world to understand what is really going on. Lybia, Serbia, Afghanistan comes to mind and many many more. The blood of millions of innocents dripping from the hands of NATO. Why would it's proxy act any different?

  24. Russia is mad cause ukraine fires back. China is mad cause the asean neighbors are building up to counter them. Typical communist regime.😅😅

  26. I told you dw is a Russia puppet channel and went it proven that it was a Russian that shot those missiles and drone into a russia city and i want a apologize from dw

  29. Que pasó Rusia no funcionó la defensa antiaerea o fueron los mismos edificios de Belgorod?. DW esto fue en la mañana europea y recien Uds. pasan esta noticia?.

  32. Russia has been retaliating against Ukraine for decades…. Ukraine represents a major threat to Russia by attempting to join the EU and developing democracy. Russia is frightened by having a prosperous neighbour where people can call their president a fool without going to prison…. Where their income and life expectancy is significantly higher than Russia’s….. as Russian citizens will see how they’ve been robbed by Putin’s kleptocracy and dictatorship.

  33. I wished they'd just make peace already😅 Selensky is refusing ANY peace talks and at this point, I as a European citizen am losing sympathy for his Ukrainian front. This is madness.

  36. So if I understand this correctly, Moscow wants to retaliate after retaliation from Ukraine for the deaths of 40 people which Russia calls retaliation for the humiliating destruction of a warship… I swear Russia still lives in 60's when they were untouchable by their neighbors and thought they could do with them as they please.
