NATO scrambled its war planes today in self defence amid Vladimir Putin’s heaviest strikes on Ukraine in months, leading to multiple civilian deaths including three children. Russia was also hit hard with Ukrainian strikes, leading to the Kremlin’s air defences firing in panic - but missing - an Airbus A320-251N packed with its own tourists from Turkish resort Bodrum, according to reports.
At least 10 Russian government aircraft used for high-ranking state and military officials fled Moscow flying east. It was not immediately clear if the exodus was a drill for an emergency evacuation or the real thing amid an onslaught from Ukrainian drones, which led to the temporary closures of major Moscow airports.
Among the planes that left Moscow eastward in the direction of the Urals were four Tu-154s, one Il-62M, a pair of Tu-134s, a Tu-214, and transport aircraft Il-76MD and An-148. It coincided with the first time in many months that Russia deployed the entire spectrum of its nuclear-capable strategic bombers against Ukraine, firing conventional missiles from Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft - in addition to the use of kamikaze drones.
Amid savage attacks from Putin’s armed forces on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, Polish military high command announced it had “activated all available forces and resources” on NATO’s eastern flank.

He posted last night that The Putin shot down the airliner.
Now he’s revised the lie.
So, why isn’t Dr. Z suing for peace? My guess is that he believes his goose is cooked. If he sues for peace he will be killed by his own people for running the kleptocracy and botching up his job or, killed by Putins armies if he continues the war. Sometimes paralysis is the response to a hopeless situation.
In my very humble opinion.

Well he was certainly behind those Ukrainian boy models who are now trying to commit arson on his properties because he didn’t have the courtesy of a reach-around. 🙀
Your Tucker is back to his old games again.
Your function here is becoming clear.
Stop defending Tucker and tell him to stop backstabbing President Trump.
Kursk in 3 days! Bring your parade uniforms!
You took the day off of Free Republic when President Trump won.
You didn’t celebrate with the rest of us. You don’t care one whit for President Trump.
You only use him to bludgeon people who you are trollink.
And one more time . . .
If the UK and France really supported Ukraine, they would transfer some nuclear weapons to Zelensky for use at his personal discretion.
Do not imagine this has not been requested.
Funny how you are still mad at me for going after Fox News and their 2020 Arizona Steal call. Get over it.
Time for Putin to shoot Zalensky.
Zelensky can settle for the obvious and save Ukraine and thousands of lives or he can continue and he and Ukraine will be destroyed. Glad Trump is staying out of it. Putin apparently is going to go full Dresden on Ukraine soon to force them into peace.
Did this send a tingle up your leg, Marcus?
Um, Ukraine is not part of NATO so how could NATO sending out jets be a matter of self-defense?
This is yet another example of NATO desperately wanting a war with Russia that we're involved in.
You went after Fox to troll the FR readership.
I don't have TeeVee, and haven't had TeeVee since 2004, so it didn't matter to me.
I didn't put together what you were up to for years. Now, it's clear - you're trying to impact FR readership and stir up divisions.
Belgorod in 3 days! Brink your parade uniforms!
sWill Stewart was the one who had the doctored photo of the two Ukrainian women soldiers who were made to look like Korean women:
Fox News lost half their viewers after their collaboration in The 2020 Steal and you Fox News loyalists still haven’t gotten over it.
I posted that I haven't had TeeVee for over 20 years, you propaganda stooge.
