Ukraine war: Kyiv hit by new massive Russian drone attack - BBC News

Russia has carried out a new massive drone attack on Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

Kyiv's mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said a man died when drone wreckage fell near a petrol station. A woman was injured.

Overall, Russia launched a record 54 so-called kamikaze drones on Ukrainian targets, 52 of which were shot down, Ukraine's Air Force reported.

Russia - which launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022 - has stepped up its attacks on Kyiv, seeking to overwhelm the capital's defences.

Wow, not often seen a person so full of himself like this Russian ambasador. He perfectly reassured everyone with whom we deal here in this criminal war.

Reminds me of a conversation with an 6 year old: did you clean your room: what room, we looked at your room, there is no room that is recognized by anyone with authority over rooms.

Russia: dont give ukraine fighter jets, Russia: we are not afraid of fighter jets btw 😂

[kevefe]

They short down 52, they short down 40 ? Please come out with a unified agreed forgery figure.

[elvisonwax]

Defending yourself against attack is now an escalation, is it? In earlier interviews this ambassador looked a bit of a victim. Now it’s time to kick him out.

[Ashchinn]

Otherwise it's a humiliation to NATO

[markharcourt]

Those 2 drones that got through sure did make a mess in 12 different locations

[DavidGetling]

We are seeing the pathetic death throes of a defeated psychopath who can see the wolves rapidly closing in and is making a futile effort to scare them off. Unless he decamps to North Korea or China he will soon be torn to pieces.

today May 28, 2023 and Kyiv celebrates its 1541st birthday

Russia has enormous resources, but your average village in Russia looks like something out of medieval Europe.

What is the range on a drone between the operator and the drone?
