Ukraine's capital HIT by Russia's largest drone attack: 74 drones downed in assault on Kyiv

Ukraine's capital suffered what officials said was Russia's largest drone attack of the war on Saturday (November 25), leaving five people wounded as the rumble of air defences and explosions woke residents at sunrise.

The attack began hitting different districts of Kyiv in the early hours of Saturday, with more waves coming as the sun came up. The air raid warning lasted six hours.

Air force chief Mykola Oleschuk said 74 of the 75 drones launched at Ukraine had been downed.

In 1994, the Budapest Agreement was signed, according to which Ukraine, at the suggestion of the West, renouned nuclear weapons and heavy bombers. And the West, represented by the United States and Great Britain, acted as the guarantor of its territorial integrity, promised support in the event of an attack on Ukraine. Refusal of nuclear weapons effectively left Ukraine vulnerable against Russian aggression.

In 2014, Russia annexed the Ukrainian Crimea and part of Donbass, and in 2022 it is attacking Ukraine, bombing its cities and villages,  killing Ukrainians.
And now the West does not want to give Ukraine enough necessary weapons, although basically these weapons are not new, they are being replaced with more modern ones.

74 downed of 75 must be a major disappointment for the russian Ministry of Lies.

Only if the world could be so angry at this real war.

[hentaisenpai]

damage is very little for 75 drones attack and what's important Ukrainian air defense uses antidrone gun and cannon defense systems which is cheap compared to missile air defense and cheaper than drones itself. Ukraine now gets a lot of antidrone systems from around the world so it'll be only worse for Pu.

No reaction from Arabs. Ohh, I forgot Ukrainians are not muslim

If the drones are from Iran then Tehran need's rearranging ?

The spotlights make this look like WW2 action. Until you see the C-RAM blasting the drones out of the sky. I feel for these poor innocent folks.

London is under fire, and would you show the work of English troops?
The person who recorded the work of the Ukrainian defense forces should be imprisoned for 15 years.
The person who approved the release of the video on the Internet should be prosecuted as a Russian collaborator who helps locate where military forces work.

I suppose the Russians are just checking the locations of air defences.

Look, friends, what can await you in the event of our defeat. I’m from Kyiv, and I wouldn’t wish such drone bombing on the enemy. You can’t trust the Russians, not a single word. These are the worst and most insignificant people. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes! Glory to the ZSU! And huge gratitude to our allies in the fight against Russian evil. Смотрите друзья что вас может ожидать в случае нашего поражения. Я из Киева, и врагу не пожелаю таких бомбардировок дронами. Русским верить нельзя, ни одному слову. Это самые плохие и ничтожные люди. Слава Україні! Героям Слава! Слава ЗСУ! И огромная благодарность нашим союзникам в борьбе с русским злом.
