NATO fighter planes were scrambled today amid a brutal Russian missile and military drone onslaught on civilian, energy and military sites in Ukraine.
Harrowing footage showed residents in Poltava screaming after a strike destroyed ordinary apartment blocks triggering fires amid the debris of smashed buildings. The wave of attacks by Vladimir Putin - which led to power cuts in multiple regions - came soon after Donald Trump announced in the Oval Office that his administration was actively talking to Moscow.
“We are having very serious discussions about that war, trying to get it ended,” said the US president. On whether he had spoken directly to Putin, Trump said: “I don’t want to say that.”
The massive strikes - which killed at least four and led to multiple injuries - may be a sign that Putin has no intention of ending his attempt to crush Ukraine. He used strategic nuclear-capable bomber aircraft including Tu-95s and Tu-22s in the attacks, unleashing Kh-22 missiles among others.
The scale of the blitzkrieg led NATO to scramble Polish and allied warplanes on the alliance’s eastern front. Warsaw’s operation command said: “Attention, due to the attack of the Russian Federation performing strikes on facilities located, among others, in the west of Ukraine, the operation of Polish and allied

Why would NATO scramble their aircraft for an attack by the Ruskies in the central northeastern part of the Ukraine?
Because every day, the keep creaking open the door to WWIII.
Russian cruise missiles were also launched on western Ukraine near the Polish border as well as near the Romanian border.
Patriot missiles sent by Israel to Ukraine last weekend helped defend Odesa against this attack.
Why do the Brits so often put “risks WW3” on their headlines? This is BS, the conflict may be a worthless bloody and fatal draw in the end but a world war will not happen, it smells of clickbait and reduces the true nature of articles.
The statement “The massive strikes - which killed at least four” does not compute. You can see the bias in this article from a mile away. All they harp on is supposedly innocent apartment blocks getting hit but then only four people get killed, all civilians? Your trust in UK tabloids is misplaced. Only Hitler was stupid enough to waste good money and precious war resources attacking civilians with missiles. It’s a huge waste of time, effort and resources. I’m sure there were troops and government facilities wherever those missiles hit. Ukrainians are well known for hiding their military in civilian infrastructure because they’re pusbags.
Trump and Rubio called out Putin on the infrastructure attacks on Ukraine and Putin just did it again anyway. Not smart of Putin.
Yes. To Both.
War is politics with bloodshed - Mao baby.
Trump is equally as brutal as the smiling serpent deep state democrats and republicans, but forthright.
Putin has his way, in between.
Negotiations underway.
“Why would NATO scramble their aircraft for an attack by the Ruskies in the central northeastern part of the Ukraine?”
To try to convince Trump that the country which has spent 3 years trying to secure 20% of Ukraine is about to roll west and TAKE OVER EUROPE!!!!
If one of your neighbors starting lobbing Molotov cocktails at another neighbor, would you continue lying there, on your terrace, sunbathing, without a care in the world? Would you at most wrinkle your nose at the stench of burning human flesh?
Or would you adopt a defensive posture, grab a weapon, send your children into the basement, etc.?

NATO jet scramble vs Putin gives Zeeper morning wood.
What is a Pooper? Are you talking about FReepers?
Please post a few of those “hysterical “ FReepers “screeching” comments, claiming U.S. aid to your Ukraine will start WW3.
You must have hundreds of examples if this is in every thread.
That’s weird. Poltava is nowhere near the Ukraine’s neighbors of Poland, Belarus, Slovakia, Moldova, Hungary or Romania. It’s much closer to the southwestern border of Russia.
Poopers are the Putin-supporting FReepers here.
You are one of them. Congratulations.
That's right: The neighbor getting Molotov cocktails lobbed into his living room lives a whole three doors down from you, so it's none of your business, and you can remain sunbathing on your patio while the stench of burning human flesh wafts over the hedge - or until the attacking neighbor decides it's time to take you into his sights.
"Nothing to see here! Go about your business!"
