A massive Russian drone-and-missile attack targeted the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and other regions in the country for a second consecutive night, killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens, officials said early Sunday.
The scale of the onslaught was stunning — Russia hit Ukraine with 367 drones and missiles, making this the largest single aerial attack of the more than three-years-long war, according to Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Air Force.
In all, Russia used 69 missiles of various types and 298 drones, including Iranian-designed Shahed drones, he told The Associated Press.
It was “the most massive strike in terms of the number of air attack weapons on the territory of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022,” Ihnat said.
There was no immediate comment from Moscow.
For Kyiv, the day was particularly somber as the city observed Kyiv Day, a national holiday that falls on the last Sunday in May, commemorating its founding in the 5th century,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian missiles and drones hit more than 30 cities and villages...
Russia's Defense Ministry quoted Yaroslav Yakimkin of the “North” group of Russian forces as saying Sunday that Ukrainian troops have been pushed back from the border in the Kursk region, which Putin visited days ago.
“The troops continue to advance forward every day,” Yakimkin said, adding that Russians forces have taken Marine and Loknya in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, which borders Kursk, over the past week, and were advancing in the Kharkiv region around the largely destroyed town of Vovchansk.

Putin poking Trump.
The attempt by Ukraine on Putin’s life on Tuesday has been splashed and Tulsi Gabbard has certainly seen the data by now.
Trump is not going to be pleased by attempted assassination.
Given the choice of siding with Germany or Stalin, you would have picked Stalin?
“Trump is not going to be pleased by attempted assassination (of Putin).”
The question is whether Trump will understand that the attempt had to have been coordinated by the Neocons. For that, I agree that Tulsi will make it very clear.
“Determining the precise number of Ukrainians killed during the Holodomor, the famine engineered by Joseph Stalin’s Soviet government in 1932-1933, is difficult, but estimates range from 3.5 to 7 million, with some going higher. “
The Neocon War in Ukraine is starting to make a run at those numbers, so Ukraine keeps getting screwed - first Stalin and now the Neocons.
Over 300 drones and only 12 people killed. More people are killed on a Chicago weekend than that.
Worrisome for Ukraine.
And Chicago used to be “My kind of town”. Both in song and in truth.
Meanwhile my very nice neighbors from Ukraine are huddling at home, havent seen them in days. Unusual, they’re always going places. Hope their relatives in Ukraine are OK.
The Uke Nazis are running short on Human Shields.
Putin poking Zelensky.
I suggest you post to the proper thread.
Zelinsli has invited kame duck Starmer to Kiev for a piano duet.
Starmer has screwed England by essentialy joining the EU without a seat at the table. The Britiah Isles are finished, and Starmer gone in 3 months. He will focus on screwing the Englush and playing with Zelinski.
Does that excuse the considerable number of Ukrainians who raped, tortured and burned alive thousands upon thousands of Belarusian villagers?
No one forced Ukrainians to join the depraved Dirlewanger Brigade; They joined willingly.
Ukrainians are not perpetual victims and angels.
Wolyn.
The slaughter of the Jews and Poles and other ethnic groups by the Banderites.
Impaling babies on fence posts. Herding people into churches and setting churches on fire. Entering remote villages and stabbing pregnant women in the belly and cutting out the babies to impale them. Skinning people alive.
This happened in between lines separately from the war.
” killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens,”
“Russian missiles and drones hit more than 30 cities and villages”
Woo woo ! Russia victorious ! Villages got de-nazified !
“Ukrainians are not perpetual victims and angels.”
They were under Stalin and again under Putin. After all, Trump, you, me and MAGA supporters in general have been labeled “nazis”.
Yes, however there’s a lot more work to do.
Shortly after Zeepers are.
