In a powerful overnight offensive, the Russian Armed Forces launched a coordinated missile and drone strike across Ukraine, hitting all designated targets with high-precision air, land, and sea-based weapons 🛩️🚀🌊. Ukrainian air defense systems were overwhelmed, unable to stop the barrage of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles 🇺🇦⚠️.
The strikes reportedly focused on Ukraine’s military-industrial facilities, dealing a significant blow to its wartime infrastructure. As tensions escalate and the battlefield shifts, this strike demonstrates Russia’s continued military dominance and raises serious questions about Ukraine's ability to defend its critical assets.
00:01Last night, the Russian army launched a new massive attack on Ukrainian military infrastructure facilities.
00:08A series of powerful explosions thundered in Kiev.
00:14Ukrainian air defense systems were powerless against Russian missiles and Russian drones.
00:19Garen drones, Kinsel and Calibre missiles hit all designated targets.
00:24The airports of Borespil and Zeliany, where American patriot systems are based, were hit.
00:32Kiev Mayor Klitschko said that the design and technology center of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense was attacked, as well as a large ammunition depot.
00:42All this caused a storm of indignation.
00:45Why?
00:46Given the obvious shortage of shells, are the ammunition stored in the rear and not sent to the front?
00:53A military-industrial complex was destroyed in Zaporizhzeh.
00:58Objects in the Kharkiv, Sumi, Jitomir, Cherkisi, Chernihiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsky, Odessa and Nikolayev regions, as well as Zaporizhzeh itself, came under attack.
01:11How did it happen?
01:13Look!
01:13The capital of Ukraine found itself under heavy fire from Russian missiles.
01:37In a matter of seconds, columns of accurate smoke rise above the city.
01:55Ukrainian air defense operates in five districts.
01:58Svyadoshinsky, Darnitsky, Shevchenkovsky, Dipropetrovsky and Solominsky.
02:11Military infrastructure is destroyed by targeted fire.
02:21One of the first to catch fire is the Zulanyi airfield, where American Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems were located.
02:27German propaganda seems to hint that Washington has turned its back on Ukraine.
02:35Trump and Zelensky were actually supposed to meet on the sidelines of the G-7 summit, but the meeting never took place.
02:42This is a bad sign for Ukraine, isn't it?
02:47Ukraine needs more anti-aircraft missiles for the Patriot air defense systems and what their shortage leads to.
02:53We saw tonight during the Russian strikes on Kyiv and the fact that Trump flew out of the G-7 summit and did not hold any talks with Zelensky is, of course, a bad omen for the Ukrainians.
03:05The American leader himself allegedly did not even hear about Russia's strikes on Kyiv, and he refused to condemn Moscow.
03:12What is your reaction to the recent attack on Kyiv?
03:15When was it?
03:17Recently.
03:17Caliber missiles were launched from ships in the Black Sea.
03:23Another target is the warehouses located southeast of the Antunov plant.
03:27There, the Ukrainians could store the drones they had produced, ready for use.
03:33The Kyiv armored plant was also hit.
03:35Today, there was a combined attack, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, drones.
03:51Kyiv has experienced another massive Russian attack.
03:55The city was hit by Shehid drones, cruise and ballistic missiles.
03:58The aftermath of the attack was recorded at 12 locations, said the head of the city military administration, Timur Tychenko.
04:07Presumably, the strikes also hit the design and technology center of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the repair and storage bases for communications equipment.
04:16The city is plunged into darkness.
04:18The power supply is cut off.
04:20And there is light only from flashes after the strikes.
04:26The Russians did not only strike Kyiv, did they?
04:30The Russians carry out airstrikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities almost constantly.
04:35And these strikes have been very intense for a long time.
04:39The Russians began to strike at targets in Kyiv today after midnight.
04:42That is, almost immediately after the curfew went into effect in the Ukrainian capital.
04:47One wave of strikes was followed by another.
04:50And this happened several times.
04:51At first, the Russians carried out strikes mainly with kamikaze drones.
04:56And only then did cruise missiles and shorter-range missiles come into play.
04:59In Kyiv, they say that the Russians even used their hypersonic missiles last night.
05:04In total, the Russian Air Force struck 30 targets in Kyiv, including the Zelayani and Boryspil airfields.
05:11Where American Patriot air defense systems and various weapons production facilities are presumably located.
05:18In social networks, a militant of the terrorist organization Adar Bunyatov, which is banned in Russia, criticizes the command of the Ukrainian army.
05:36I have one question.
05:38Why clutter up warehouses with ammunition so that they can be hit and detonate before the morning?
05:43If there is currently a major shortage of ammunition at the front?
05:46Almost nine hours of shelling.
05:54By morning, the sky over Kyiv was painted black.
05:57The smoke lasted for several hours, and the fires could not be extinguished.
06:02The dormitory of the Aviation University, where the barracks for Ukrainian soldiers were located, caught fire.
06:08There were also landings in the Kharkov region.
06:11There was a sleepless night in Odessa, too.
06:13Ukrainian publics write about strikes all over Ukraine.
06:26According to the Ukrainian Air Force, 472 missiles and drones were flying towards the country.
06:32Of these, 167 were unnoticed.
06:36That is, they allegedly simply disappeared from radar.
06:43Tonight, the armed forces of the Russian Federation carried out a group strike with high-precision air, land, and sea-based weapons, as well as strike unmanned aerial vehicles.
07:00On Ukrainian military-industrial complex facilities in the Kyiv region in Zaporzy, the strike targets were achieved.
07:08All designated facilities were hit.
07:10The situation in the Middle East is heating up right now and is becoming truly explosive.
07:21The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has just announced the destruction of a military operations planning center.
07:27In Israel, strikes were carried out on the Glylet military base, on the Mossad headquarters.
07:34In response, Israel is striking Iranian targets, including oil refineries.
07:41Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel is capable of eliminating Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
07:48But Trump allegedly opposes this, because Iran's next leader could be even more radical.
07:55In general, it is surprising how easily they talk about killing the leader of an independent country.
08:05Washington itself declares that it does not want direct military intervention, but at the same time the Americans are amassing forces in the region.
08:13Trump called for the immediate evacuation of civilians from the capital of the Islamic Republic, and said that he will seek Tehran's capitulation.
08:24But Tehran has other plans.
08:27The United States has suggested that Russia take a break in bilateral contacts to normalize dialogue.
08:32This was just stated by Putin's aide Ashokov.
08:37However, this is not a severance of relations with the United States.
08:41An agreement on the next meeting, according to Ashokov, will be reached.
08:48Trump himself demonstrated disdain for the so-called G7 in Canada.
08:53The U.S. president simply left the summit without explaining his behavior.
08:57The G7 leaders were unable to agree on a joint final communique.
09:03This is the first time in history.
09:06Trump's position on the key issue, Ukraine and sanctions, diverges from Europe's approach.
09:12Trump said that sanctions are too expensive.
09:18The damage done to American business after leaving Russia has already exceeded $300 billion.
09:23Trump also openly called Russia's isolation a strategic mistake and said
09:31that the G8 was a more promising format.
09:36The British Guardian has already seen contempt for collective Western values in Trump's words.
09:42At the same time, all attempts to somehow influence the American leader have failed.
09:46German Chancellor Merz confirmed
09:50that the European Union is preparing a new sanctions package without the United States.
09:56He admitted that under Trump, the United States is avoiding a new sanctions war.
10:02Macron also tried to return Trump to the Russophobic ranks.
10:06The French president said that he received
10:08what he thought was a positive response regarding the possible tightening of American anti-Russian sanctions.
10:16However, Trump publicly humiliated Macron,
10:20writing on social media
10:21that the attention-hungry French president always gets everything wrong.
10:29Zelensky also suffered a fiasco.
10:31He flew to Canada in the hope of a personal meeting with Trump,
10:35and he expected to return not empty-handed.
10:39But the American leader left Canada
10:41just so as not to cross paths with Zelensky there.
10:45Zelensky learned about this when he was already on the plane.
10:49Deputy head of the Ukrainian foreign ministry Kaslitsya
10:52took offense and crossed Trump out of the leaders.
10:55Look,
10:55he wrote G6 instead of G7 on social media.
11:01Well, that is,
11:02he called for the exclusion of the United States from the G7 format.
11:06Well, just now,
11:08literally a couple of minutes ago,
11:10these are the very first footages.
11:13The plane of Ukrainian President Zelensky
11:15eventually landed in Alberta, Canada,
11:18and Donald Trump has long been in Washington.
11:21This happens.
11:23Well,
11:23and Great Britain is intensively training Ukrainian militants.
11:27This training program is called Interflex.
11:30Over the past year and a half,
11:3252,000 people have completed this training,
11:35and this is the latest report.
11:38The course lasts five weeks,
11:40including fire, tactical,
11:41and engineering training.
11:43Ukrainian propagandists went to Foggy Albion,
11:46where they were shown the specific conditions in,
11:49which banderites live in train.
11:51Life is quite harsh.
11:57The Ukrainians were housed in hangars converted into barracks,
12:00which were not intended for human habitation in principle.
12:05No free time,
12:07intensive training according to NATO standards,
12:10but they are fed three times a day.
12:13At the same time,
12:15the instructors say,
12:16that they themselves,
12:18the British,
12:19have something to learn.
12:21The Ukrainians said,
12:22that most,
12:23almost all Western methods are outdated
12:27and do not work in real war conditions.
12:30For example,
12:31the North Atlantic Alliance's textbooks
12:35still do not provide an answer on
12:37how to effectively counter drone attacks at night,
12:41especially if the drones are equipped with thermal imagers.
12:45NATO has simply never encountered such tactics.
12:51At the same time,
12:54Britain plans to train another 20,000 fighters by the end of this year,
12:57despite the fact
12:58that the question of the effectiveness of such accelerated courses remains open.
13:03Breaking news.
13:06The heads of the defense ministries of Turkey and Russia
13:09have just discussed the situation around Iran.
13:11The Turkish defense ministry reports.
13:14At the same time,
13:15Trump said,
13:19that he does not see signs of increased support for Iran from Russia or North Korea
13:23against the backdrop of the Middle East war.
13:26The American president believes,
13:28that it is unlikely,
13:31that any of the world leaders wants to intervene
13:33in the conflict on the side of Tehran.
13:36And today,
13:38on Putin's instructions,
13:40Russian Security Council's Secretary Shoigu arrived in North Korea.
13:45In Pyongyang,
13:47he held a personal meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jinan.
13:52This is the third visit of the Russian representative to North Korea in the last three months.
13:58The previous meeting took place literally two and a half weeks ago.
14:03Following the current negotiations,
14:05Kim Jinan announced
14:07that he had decided to send 1,000 North Korean sappers to the Korsk region of Russia
14:14to clear mines from the territories
14:16and 5,000 military construction workers to restore destroyed houses,
14:22social facilities and infrastructure in the border areas.
14:25This is fraternal assistance.
14:28Also,
14:29according to Shoigu,
14:32North Korea will open memorials in Russia in memory of the North Korean soldiers
14:36who died during the liberation of Russian territory.
