Russia launched a major missile and drone attack on Ukraine overnight into Sunday targeting power plants and energy infrastructure across the country.
The barrage was the largest attack on Ukraine since late August and the third largest so far this year. Missiles and drones targeted cities including the capital Kyiv, forcing people into basements, subway stations and other underground shelters.

The Russian aircraft involved in the assault included Tu-160 and Tu-95 strategic bombers, the air force said, as well as Su-34, Su-27 and MiG-31 jets.

It’s way past time to end the killing and destruction.
Money needs to be spent on reconstruction, not destruction.
Spoke with my people in Ukraine. This was a very big attack across a number of cities. The Russians used missiles, drones and anything else they could throw. The Russians don’t attack military targets, just civilian buildings and infrastructure like power plants and water service.
There really needs to be a way to get this thing called off.
Another one. Is this the second one today?
I am still not convinced that the mess in Ukraine isn’t a ploy to enrich the Biden crime family.
You spend your own money on that dipstick.
Skim the war money then skim the rebuilding money.
NO WAY are we going to rebuild Ukraine.
There's over a hundred wars happening in the world - NONE of them are our business, our responsibility, or critical to our existence.
Let's put our effort into OUR country and our hemisphere.. The Chinese are taking over South America and Taiwan produces the high quality chip we need. What the hell does Ukraine do other than launder the money of the world's 'elites' and provide jobs and bribes for corrupt American politicians and intelligence scum?
Did you forget to add the /sarcasm ??
Surely you know Biden is just a bit player on this scale.
He should still hang
The time to make money has happened on Oct 20th at the Brics summit where more countries are lining up to join. 24: 39 Heads of State meet in a Kazan summit to create a new foreign exchange system: BRICS—the depolarized global south! This was a historic moment like Brettinwood’s time. Over 65% of the world’s population now trades in their currencies: G7 GTP 31%, BRICS GTP 39%.
International cross-border payments are depolarizing the US dollar’s dominance; its failure is close at hand. Countries and central banks are dumping their US dollar bond holdings.
2025 will show how the Kazan conference leaves no doubt about the outcome.
The global majority rejects Western hegemony.
Biden got the war he spent 8 years under Obama creating.
Trump will wash his hands of Obama’s nuclear ⚔rorist Zelinski who has ensured their will be no peace in his lifetime.
The Biden Admin has been the greatest failure of American Diplomacy and Military power, in the history of the US. Biden destroyed American cities in 2020 and fanned Obama’s racism. The entire world rejects, to include a majority of American voters, the Chicago Wing of the DNC - and their Thuggery.
It’s what happens in a War.
A very telling bid to try to make conditions as so miserable to drive Ukes to peace negotiations.
Russians are as tired of this war as Ukes - and negotiations, with new American administration, might be more favorable all around than might normally be considered.
Well, it actually was "called off." It happened within weeks after the SMO by Russia began back in early 2022. It was nixed at the last minute by the geniuses in the West (Boris Johnson).
Remember the feel-good promises, "We'll back you for as long it takes, for as long as needed , for as long we can........ooops, wonder what's next?
How about a show of hands? Who here wants Russia to win, and why? Who wants Ukraine to win, and why? Am I wrong in my impression that there is an awful lot of pro-Russian sentiment here?
I want PEACE—a lasting Peace. No clear winner will be a win for all. Russia can’t just go home, nor can it seize Ukraine. A settlement must be reached or this will become a forever war that will last well into the next decade. It will limit Russia—but at a terrible cost. It will break NATO and America and might just devolve into WW III—a war of nations and this time our oceans will not protect us. This one we night lose to the new Axis. Even a win will be so costly it will forever change us and the world.
