NATO jets scrambled amid Russia's largest drone attack on Ukraine

NATO jets were scrambled overnight as Russia carried out its largest drone attack yet on Ukraine, launching more than 700 drones, officials said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the "new massive Russian attack on our cities" involved "728 drones of various types, including over 300 Shaheds, and 13 missiles – Kinzhals and Iskanders.

"Most of the targets were shot down. Our interceptor drones were used -- dozens of enemy targets were downed, and we are scaling up this technology. Mobile fire groups were also active – they downed dozens as well. I thank all our warriors for their precision," he added.

Ukraine’s Air Force said the assault mainly targeted the northwestern city of Lutsk and according to preliminary data, "air defenses neutralized 718 enemy air attack vehicles, 303 were shot down by fire, 415 were lost in location."

Excuses.. especially after Ukraine was blaming it on Russia, even though they knew they did it.
Zeepers just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper.

I can only guess what you are talking about (Putin?)..

I VERY rarely see any Russia supporters on here, and they aren’t near as bad as the Zeepers.

Yet WW3 will start at the Syrian port of Latakia. I read it in the novel ‘Alas, Babylon’. It was an accident.

I think as you spend more time here you will see an overwhelming preference for Putin to smash Ukraine and anyone who disagrees is a zeeper.

Leave it to a Zeeper to redirect what was said.

List the URL and quote the posts that show support for Russia. Those against supporting the corrupt empire of Zidget could post examples of the propaganda (LINKS/URLS and quotes to show the propaganda all day, non-stop, whereas you Zeepers may be able to find 2 or 3 in the last 3 years, and they were probably sarcasm to play with Zeeper heads because of how annoying the Zeeper propaganda is.

FReepers that don’t support OUR money going to Ukraine does NOT mean that those FReepers support Russia. OUR COUNTRY, the U.S.A. is priority #1, and there is a lot of fixing (and defense) that needs fixing (and defending).

If you want to throw (your own) money away, and you are not directly supporting the laundry-mat called Ukraine, you could always go local and support one of the cartels.

Wake up/Grow up.

I have asked them repeatedly to produce links of any of us posting in support of Russia or Putin and that request is always met with 🦗 🦗 🦗.

I’ve told these dorks this until I’m blue in the face. I guess the troll farm in Kiev requires that they spew that nonsense and they do so with no substantiation.

Did you see the jackass with his nasty little list earlier?

And they wonder why we laugh at them.

"You’ll be waiting a long time."


Exactly, because you can't.


"Can’t recall when I agreed to take orders from you."


Who said anything about orders? If it involves MY money (taxes), then I should have a say how it's spent, as well as the rest of the United States of America, which is polling at 67%+ do NOT want OUR money going to Ukraine.

You are also an embarrassment to Texas.

Same M O.

Nobody issued you any orders. Asking you to support statements like this with links is a reasonable request, especially on a conservative forum.

lonestar67: “I think as you spend more time here you will see an overwhelming preference for Putin to smash Ukraine and anyone who disagrees is a zeeper.”

________________________

Zeepers are people who support the Bidenesque policies of handing over billions of our dollars to Zelensky every time the little grifter demands it. No accountability, no audits.

Lil’ Z even “lost” a chunk of it.

Being opposed to that does NOT make any of us supporters of Russia or of Putin. That’s just stupid.

You’re foolish to thing you’re ad hominem arguments are going to move.

I’m a great asset to Texas.

You must be really sad that Trump is now shifting to returning military aid to Ukraine.

You probably are more sad to realize than in trump term 1 the provision of lethal aid to Ukraine helped kill thousands of Russian soldiers.

Support for Ukraine isn’t bad. Russia and Putin are some of this nations worst adversaries. I feel my tax dollars killing Russian soldiers and destroying Russian military assets is a great benefit.

In the war between Russia and Ukraine I choose Ukraine. It’s not difficult. Putin is wrong about Ukraine.

I think Allegra knows Trump reversed the Obama Biden policy of giving blankets and food to Ukraine because they didn’t want to make Putin mad.

It was Trump who gave lethal aid like javelins that do such a great job of killing Russian soldiers in Ukraine.

Trump also killed hundreds of Russian troops in Syria. More great work by Trump.
