Russia fired more than 600 drones and missiles at targets across Ukraine in the early hours of Sunday morning - one of the largest barrages of the war.
At least four people were killed in Kyiv during the overnight attacks, according to Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky. Local officials said 42 people were injured in the capital and surrounding region, and 31 in Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine. Drones were still being shot down over the Ukrainian capital on Sunday morning.
The barrage was the third largest reported by the Ukrainian air force since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, underlining Kyiv’s challenge even after this week getting stronger signs of support from the US.
Should probably mention they were civilians in the headline.
Makes it seem like these were just normal combatants otherwise.
Ukraine are doing so well when you consider Russia has thrown so much at them in one go that you can say it’s one of the largest aerial assaults of the war, and it only kills around 4 people and injures dozens.
That’s a massive waste of resources for so little gain. If that was 2 years ago the outcome would likely be very different.
A sign hopefully that the tide has turned. Fuck Russia.

Keep coping.
Kinda freaking me out. There were WWII battles, and about any other war you care to name, where thousands were killed on the winning side and it was considered a victory, and not phyrric victory.
You got me thinking! If that’s the best they can do, well, they seem to be fucked.
I wish NATO\Europe had stepped up to bat and wiped Russia’s war machine off the map two years ago. Fuck is wrong with them? Just going to sit back, let the Russians take lessons on modern warfare and rearm? They’re coming for you next. Head. Out of ass. Yesterday.
I think they’re trying to stretch their economy and man power as much as possible.
Also their hands are tied. The good guys don’t strike first….usually. I think that’s why Russia is antagonising them all at the moment trying to get them to strike back and justify everything.
But they can’t sustain a war economy without results especially when they’re suffering the effects (gas for the people) without being invaded. I think Putin wants to be invaded so he can get conscription and popular support (everyone defends their homeland) like Ukraine does.
Ukraine is pretty bad ass, but Russia is just playing with its food. And I don’t mean that in a pro Russian way
Remember “Kyiv in three days”?
I think they are benefitting from the long war more than people may think.
Perhaps they are, but destruction of Ukraine as state is clear goal of the russians and they have not been able to achieve this.
