The war between Russia and Ukraine is intensifying, growing more violent and escalating rather than moving toward peace. A recent Ukrainian drone strike deep inside Russia damaged bomber bases, but this has provoked a major retaliatory response: Russia launched over 400 drones and missiles, overwhelming Ukraine’s air defenses. Many of these were advanced Iranian-made drones now upgraded by Russia, making them harder to intercept. Ukrainian forces reportedly intercepted only about half the attacks, and even Patriot systems were either ineffective or destroyed.
Footage shows multiple successful Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, with minimal air defense response in cities like Lviv, Luts’k, and Kyiv. A key Patriot battery was hit after firing multiple interceptors, underscoring the diminishing effectiveness and availability of Ukraine's defense systems. U.S. officials have stated no more Patriot systems are available to send, and European allies are reluctant to share theirs.
On the ground, Russian forces continue to advance across several fronts while Ukraine’s counterattacks gain minimal territory.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Zelensky has Putin right where he wants him now!
Time for more peace talks. LOL This is the warmongers dream.
Surprise, surprise.
How could Zelensky have been so stupid? He didn’t think that bigger, stronger Russia would retaliate?
What a total waste this war is. Waste of lives of all ages, waste of money, waste of buildings, trees, animals etc etc etc.
Children will be children.
It is a bit shocking to see all those drones and missiles coming in with no resistance.
FYI as of now there has been no RuMoD mention of this event being “the retaliation”. It may be part of the summer offensive with “the retaliation” sometime later after preparation.
Orban’s take starting at about 24:00 is illuminating.
Say, wasn’t Lindsey Graham visiting a few days ago? Well that’s a coincidence.
Ukraine was firing off the remaining Patriots like candy the other night.
Iranian drones striking that Russia is using.
I agree that these latest attacks were probably planned before Ukraine’s action.
The two big takeaways are the lack of defense against the strikes and the fact that Russia is escalating the tempo and size of the war in general. That’s not a reaction by Russia, it’s a plan that was already in place.
“Iranian drones striking that Russia is using.”
True, though Russia has improved them before using them.
The lil green booger has some new uninvited guests. Hah hah

A rumor of what got hit last night in Lutsk
An underground bunker containing 56 Storm Shadow missiles, 32 Patriot air defense missiles and 53 ATACMS missiles has been reportedly destroyed in Lutsk.
These missiles were delivered to Ukraine 5 days ago.
Linda’s busy working on a new counter-attack plan.
What’s a few thousand more meaningless, and horrible, deaths.
Meanwhile across Russia there are miles long lines of trucks waiting to be inspected amidst a climate of fear, as scapegoats range from ordinary citizens to at least one truck driver beaten to death.
Patriot PAC3 missile: $4,000,000.
Drone?
“Patriot PAC3 missile: $4,000,000.
Drone?”
Hey, it’s not Zelenski’s money.
That’s all you’ve got?
Wow, things are worse than I thought.
