At least seven people are dead, including a 5-year-old girl, after Russia launched nearly 150 drones across Ukraine overnight — just a day before cease-fire talks are set to resume, officials said.
The Kremlin fired 147 explosive drones early Sunday across the Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa and Donetsk regions, with the Ukrainian military able to shoot down or deflect 122 of the UAVs.
One of the drones that made it through Ukraine’s defenses hit the capital city of Kyiv, killing three people; including the little girl, her father and an 80-year-old woman, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Another 10 people were injured in the blast, according to the city’s military administration.
The attack saw sirens blaring in the capital for more than five hours as Russian drones were blown out of the sky, with the debris falling onto residential buildings.
Four other people were killed in the attack on the Donetsk region, including three who were blown up in a single strike in the frontline town of Dobropillya, regional Gov. Vadym Filashkin said.

So you actually did have business with the FBI? And you reported members of tFR to them?
Zeeper Crazy Ivan is quite concerned.
Who did you report, and what for?
Zeeper Crazy Ivan, how long has it been since you stopped beating your wife?
What were the calls about?
How much Popov vodka did you drink today?
Two calls from the FBI? And you won’t discuss them, even tho you posted a vanity?
It’s a normal thing that happens during war.
Only 7 deaf from 147 drones isn’t too bad. I wonder what Gaza’s numbers are.
“ussia says United States ordered Ukrainian ‘drone strike’ on Kremlin”
I was referencing the attack on Kief in the Ukraine. The one you gave me was from 2023 and in Russia. But Z probably lied about tht one too. So fqar as I look, it is assumed Russia deployed the drones. But no one has said. I still think with the overwhelming respose from the Ukraine Air Force they knew they were coming and sent them themselves to stir up trouble and harm the cease fire talks.

Did you get that from Putin?
Big from the Cut and Paste Fuzzy Foriener brigade lately.
There efforts failed.
Now they attack our President and our country.
They sound like The Little Green Goblin just before Trump tossed him outta the White House.😂
“Did you get that from Putin?”
No, and that’s the main problem. Nobody has taken credit for the attack, including Putin. But the overwhelming successful response to the attack I think displays Z’s efforts to keep the country under his regine as it is profitable for him to keep his head above water.
According to a Forbes Middle East report, despite social media reports claiming he’s a billionaire, Volodymyr Zelensky doesn’t come close to making it to the Forbes’ global wealth rankings.
Forbes said he was reportedly worth roughly $20 million when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Zelensky owned a flat in Ukraine valued at around $1 million. This flat was part of his portfolio before he entered politics and reflected his lifestyle as a successful entertainer.
In 2019, Zelensky purchased a villa in Forte dei Marmi, Italy. The villa was bought for around $4 million, a noteworthy investment for someone in Zelensky’s position. However, in 2020, Zelensky sold this villa.
As president, Zelensky officially receives a modest salary by international standards. His monthly pay is approximately 28,000 Ukrainian hryvnias (about $930 USD).
Volodymyr Zelensky’s wealth has fluctuated significantly since he became president of Ukraine in 2019. Before his presidency, he was a highly successful entertainer and businessman, but his financial profile has changed dramatically since then.
So if he is going to keep his head above water, he needs to remain president. And a ceased fire will end a huge amount of his control if property and worth is split. He needs war.
