Many killed as Russia hits Ukrainian cities with huge aerial barrage

So it looks like a series of coordinated attacks Rachel how much information are we getting now it does I mean it seems as though fresh horror really has been Unleashed on Ukraine overnight with this series of widespread as you mentioned coordinated attacks being launched across a series of cities from the

Capital keev uh to Eastern Deno the northern city of HEV Western Lviv as well that just 43 miles or so away from the Polish border and the port city of adessa as well all of them affected by this series of aerial bombardments now we know according to the Air Force

Spokesperson in Ukraine he said in a televised address that both drones and missiles were used the number at more than 110 and these missiles included Hypersonic cruise missiles and ballistic missiles as well including the x22 type which is particularly hard to intercept and that might explain some of the awful

Pictures that we’re seeing this morning of of real damage on a huge scale we know that the sort of areas that were hit as well include critical infrastructure as well as social places residential buildings according to One Source a hospital a maternity hospital having been hit as well and you can sort

Of see the picture building across all of these cities from residential buildings as I mentioned to a warehouse in keev a metro station as well there that was actually being used as a bomb shelter we know that 22 Russian strikes were reported in h damaging there are Hospital residential buildings and an

Industrial facility and local media reports that maternity hospital in denit Pro was hit as well now the crucial question of course is how many people were killed or injured that number still growing we know at least 10 people seem to have lost their lives in these strikes overnight uh but that number

Likely we we think sadly to rise through the morning as as the picture gathers for one in keev we know that a number of people are thought to be still trapped under the rubble as this picture emerges we’ve had a statement through from president zelinsky saying maternity hospital educational institutions

Shopping centers highrise buildings and private homes commercial warehouses a parking lot across many cities he says today Russia hit us with almost everything it has in his Arsenal and the statement goes on to say we will definitely retaliate against the terrorists so an awful morning in in

Ukraine as we try to understand the extent of this damage but it seems to have been really quite widespread and orchestrated overnight

Russia has launched one of its biggest aerial barrages of the year against Ukraine, killing a number of people and wounding many others.

Several cities were struck overnight, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claiming Russia launched around 110 missiles, with most of them being shot down.

The head of Ukraine’s Air Force said it was “the most massive attack from the air” since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

  1. Russia moves to the next stage, just like Israel does in Gaza under the pretext of self-defense. As long as Israel doesn't respect international laws, human rights, and ethics, what prevents Russia from continuing what it started, following Israel's example?

  11. Can't believe a damn thing the media spins anymore. This disaster should have ended long ago, but USA & European [so called] leaders are making too much $$$.

  18. It was not Russia, they don’t have any more missiles nor hypersonic missiles. They could have used some shovels though.
    Any way, all missiles were shot down

  30. Ukraine cannot win the war as things stand… The comedian Zelensky is in a world of delusion .. The West unnecessarily pushed Nato into the heartland of Russia.They should have implemented Minsk agreements and not used them as time gap for rearming Ukraine as told by Angela Merkel.The counteroffensive has failed miserably and Russians are on the attack and will capture Kiev unless U.S provide weapons. All these U.S and Nato arm chair generals have only war experience in fighting insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.Without air power support, they have pushed Ukraine into war with Russia, inarguably the most powerful army in the world today after Ukraine war.

  31. God bless Russian and Putin it's time for China to help Russia without Russia China is nothing shame on China Joe Biden is a war criminal he destroyed Ukraine and Palestine God bless Russian and Putin it's time for China to help Russia without 2

  45. а шо так сцикотно дати зброю в'бати па сраним дєрєвням? нашу ядерку заникали суки – юкрейн, вкладайте по півмільйона героїв. 
    хев а найс дей.
