Russia launched what Ukraine said would be the largest air assault of the war to date, with nearly 500 missiles and drones airborne, prompting Warsaw to scramble NATO air assets to protect its airspace.
Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 479 drones, four ballistic missiles, and 16 cruise missiles against its territory overnight. If the figures are accurate, it would make Sunday evening the biggest Russian air raid against Ukraine in the course of the over-three-year war to date, and underlines the ability of the combatants to sustain ever-larger drone attacks as the conflict goes on, given Russia launched another historic in scale drone assault just last week.
Despite the scale of the assault, Ukraine maintained the damage inflicted was relatively minor, citing the defensive efforts of its jet interceptors, land-based defensive missiles, and electronic warfare countermeasures which bring down drones by disrupting their sensors and other equipment. Of the 479 drones, the Ukraine military claims to have shot down 292, and brought down 187 through electronic countermeasures.
They claimed all of the missiles but one, a Kh-22 cruise missile, were brought down by national defences. In all Ukraine said Russian attacks succeeded in 10 of the near-500 launches, and a further 17 places suffered damage from falling wreckage from shot-down missiles and drones.
Ukraine also struck at Russia overnight, Moscow claimed, stating they intercepted and destroyed 49 drones.
The Russian strike was of sufficient scale and proximity to NATO’s eastern borders that the Operational Command of the Armed Forces (DORSZ) in Warsaw, Poland scrambled the on-duty “Polish and allied” fighter jets, activated ground-based air defence, and placed its reconnaissance systems at the “highest state of readiness”. Poland stated this act was “preventative” and later confirmed the scrambled systems had been stood down with no violations of Polish airspace detected.

He apparently doesn't know what America's response was.
He will soon learn what Russia’s response will be I reckon.
Russian Ambassador in England has just stated they may just blow all the bridges across the Dniepner, cutting Ukraine in half…..why haven’t they done this yet? ….he states it is an “ SMO”….they are showing restraint.

….keep poking the Bear…
That is not all the Russian Ambassador said to the British government before he spoke on TV. The way this ambassador played the media was a probably designed to elicit MI6 and Brit Govt actions in Ukraine - at some point the Brit’s are going to get caught red handed with fingerprints. The ambassador has surely achieved his desired goal to goad the Brits.

They should, at least try. Cutting Ukraine in half would greatly help the Russian war effort. Failing at this would make Russia the world wide joke. Maybe, after most of their missiles and drones not making target they decided it wasn’t good for the war effort. Further, Ukraine seems to get it’s drones through.
—”….keep poking the Bear…”
And what are Ukraine’s options?
Will Russia declare war on Ukraine?
How would it be known?
Pearl Harbor.... yeah, that’s when Japan won WWII. Z in an idiot....

Like us, their Duma ( Congress) votes on it. Then all hell breaks loose. Nationalization in every sector, massive mobilization, etc….the Ukie war supporters are fools.

So if your boy Putin hangs on and starts going for “The Russian parts”, of Poland and Germany, you will be so happy?
Poland has been building up military strength for years, has Putin is feeding his military to the meat grinder.
East Germany was once Russian, and he can not stop.
And Alaska was once Russian, and the Canadian Boy Scouts are the central unit of their army...
A quick special operation, and Canada can become Russian. Maybe.
But of course, China is still smarting over its “Century of Humiliation, and there are some large chunks of real estate they want back from Russia.

And the sooner the better.

Meanwhile, President Trump sends 20,000 “anti-Shahed” missiles intended for Ukraine to the Middle East...
“Russian Ambassador in England has just stated they may just blow all the bridges across the Dniepner, cutting Ukraine in half…..why haven’t they done this yet?“
Because they can’t. They tried earlier in the war (to interdict NATO weaponry supplies for the liberation of Kharkiv) when they had more bombers, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and could also launch from Black Sea Fleet Naval vessels (which they can’t anymore).
They simply lack the capability. They do their worst, with what they have, and always have.
That’s about the 150th time Z-skii has said this...
do they each get larger than the attack before?
who keeps official records?
This proxy war was by design, and it wasn't Putin's design either.
“Failing at this would make Russia the world wide joke. “
I’m afraid it’s about 3 years too late.
“He will soon learn what Russia’s response will be I reckon.”
Soon... very soon... very stronk response...
We are being threatened by far worse elements, and once we are gone then there will be no one left to bail you Europeans out yet again. Somewhere along the line my nation too has fallen into tyrannical corruption, and everyone thinks that Donald John Trump can do it all by himself.
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy is leading the world into WWIII. Funny how Europe manages to pull off these World conflicts. Hopefully your newly elected president will have the common sense to seek peaceful solutions to the problem, along with Viktor Orbán.
Perhaps it's way past time that the world to turn to the Lord.
