Blasts over Kyiv: Air force warns of large-scale Russian attack

There have been loud explosions in Ukraine’s capital in the past few hours.
The air force says its defence systems have been engaged in repelling a large-scale Russian attack.
The mayor of Kyiv says there have been power and water cuts in the wake of the attack.

The Reuters news agency says one of its safety advisors has been killed and two other staff injured, in a Russian missile strike on a hotel in the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of deliberately targeting the hotel.

The Russian military says it’s destroyed more than 20 Ukrainian attack drones over several southern regions.
Video shows blasts hitting buildings in the city of Saratov where Moscow says nine drones were destroyed.
The defence ministry says similar attacks were repelled in Belgorod and Kursk.

  3. This war can no longer be won for sure!!!!!! Due to terrible logistics and a huge amount of stolen military resources. Logistics in war is the basis, currently there are too few trucks and fuel transporters operating in this war. These vehicles only transport ammunition and fuel in too small quantities. They do not transport the dead, drinking and eating have become less important and soldiers are not transported from place to place because they have to constantly and quickly transport ammunition and fuel. "Currently" often used tanks, i.e. T 62 M with much worse accuracy lose. Modern tanks win faster when hitting the target. To sum up, the Russian Federation will lose this war because of terrible logistics, too few trucks and fuel transporters, corruption and theft on a large scale in this army. But what will the Kremlin do? He will say that tomorrow everything will be fine, there are few problems, so continue to die, this is how the power of the Russian Federation continues to function, i.e. as in the times of Joseph Stalin, they died unnecessarily.

  4. Funny how he tries to play the victim card when they just sent a drone into a high rise in Russia.

    Believe it or not, the russians have been playing nice so far.

  6. Zelensky is wicked man because he wants Ukrainians death. You can't fight Russia. Peace is about to settle and he open new front and some people are happy with that.

  9. No one is off limits. Don’t tell me journalists, children, woman or old. When all lives become equal then I might be ready to listen. Gaza over 200 media personnel, 1000+aid workers (int and local). So yeah. I’m sorry.

  15. Aljezza must avoid sending western journalists in conflicts zone where the western interests are in stake, they only give us one side of the story and often give voices to those who disseminated propaganda and false claims.

  17. I guess this conflict won't be ending anytime soon notwithstanding recent well promising claimings from both sides.The ukrainian invasion and the current russian retaliation
    are probably the opening of a new chapter.

  19. It really broke my heart after seeing the comment section how are this people are taking the side of russia where ukrain is the victim here russia started the war.

  22. I guess there is devil, monster, USA and zelensky killing people and taking advantage for personal gain.😢😢 If only they accept the peace so many people could have survived, if there are no people left then how will there be a Ukraine as a country, its the people that make Ukraine as a country. Waste just waste

  23. Ukraine wants to attack civilians and civilian infrastructure. Russia will retaliate.
    Now… Look at the footage coming out of Ukraine and compare it to Gaza.
    Only 5 civilian casualties after military infrastructure were attacked in HALF of Ukraine.

  26. Belarus: You have started amassing forces near our border
    Ukraine: No, we have not.
    Belarus: Okay.
    Ukraine: You have started amassing forces near our border
    Belarus: No, we have not.
    Ukraine: You move back
    Belarus: No, you move back

  31. Having an Actor as president is very foolish. He has made consecutive foolish decisions from the beginning of his presidency. No country should ever dream of having unwise president like this one
