Ukraine says it has shot down dozens of drones over Kyiv, fending off the latest onslaught from Russia.
Kyiv’s mayor Vitaly Klitschko said on Telegram that Russia launched nearly 60 Iranian-made drones, 36 of which rained down on the capital. Ukraine shot down all of the rockets over Kyiv, but falling debris left damage.
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry gave a slightly different figure, saying that 30 rockets targeted Kyiv specifically and that “35 of 35 russian drones were shot down.”
The Kyiv City Military Administration said on Telegram that five people in the capital were injured in the latest bout of attacks. Additional shelling elsewhere killed three civilians, the defense ministry reportedly said.

HEADLINE: “Ukraine shoots down dozens of rockets over Kyiv in deadly attack”
FIRST SENTENCE: “Ukraine says it has shot down dozens of drones over Kyiv...”
This crap is ORWELLIAN - the headline makes it sound like a verified fact, when it’s almost a certainty that at least some of the 35 missiles got through. The first sentence ONLY THEN lets you know that the report is coming from Ukraine, a government not known for always being factual. (by the way, since Western media won’t report it, Russia did say that all targets were hit)
This is the IDENTICAL format of an article in the Hill 2 days ago (I pointed it out then too). Even you Ukraine Cheerleaders might want to think about just how much the Western Media is playing you - it’s now at Soviet levels.
Zeeper spirits flag quickly without UkePropIntelligence narratives.
They read these articles and instantly believe them, and breathlessly repost.
“They read these articles and instantly believe them, and breathlessly repost.”
They do repost, but even they, the ones here, know full-well that Ukraine is lying.
...the question really is: Why are they allowed to continue posting this crap?
If they shot most of them down, how would it have been a deadly attack? It seems more like a dud-ly attack.
.
It is ironic in the literal sense that our media is emulating Soviet methods when reporting about Soviet states. I think it is both literal and ironic either of which is difficult to achieve.
—-> They do repost, but even they, the ones here, know full-well that Ukraine is lying.
I’m not so sure, or they justify it emotionally.

Good question!
What? You think the Hill, that paragon of honesty, is going to tell you anything other than the truth?
The Hill=one of a multitude of news manufacturers, making a product that is made to order.... by the dictates of the anti-christ globulleesta elites.
don’t worry, the usual suspects will be along to explain why this is factual and how Ukraine is about to win if we just keep sending them everything they need.
Someone else told me here all these high numbers claimed are true because …well he said the targets are slow moving compared to the mid-east (🤔).
I don’t believe a word of that or the Ukrainian claims.
In Israel, a country with fully intact electrical, road system, support systems etc, they shot down about 7/10 targets in perfect Mediterranean climate with the most modern US supplied Patriot Iron Dome system. Yet in Ukraine, with the confusion of all out war going on, electrical disruptions etc they get a 100% shoot down rate with older Soviet technology?
Sheer horse💩.
I need a large grain of salt for any “information” that starts with that phrase.
From what I understand Russia attacks with a cheap drone to flush out the Uke air defense, then target them and other targets on the second wave.
Sounds like Baghdad Bob.
Ukraine says? The biggest liars in the world are the Biden regime and Ukrainians.
The Ghost of Kiyv.
Actually it was 37 of 35 launched
agreed!!
