Russian drone attacks hit critical infrastructure in Kyiv | DW News

The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was targeted once again by so-called kamikaze drone on Monday. An alert was first declared in the middle of the night.

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia unleashed 35 drones on Ukraine in the early hours of Monday as many people slept, hitting critical infrastructure in and around Kyiv in Moscow's third air attack on the Ukrainian capital in six days.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to make his first visit to Belarus since 2019 on Monday.

He will meet with his close ally, strongman Alexander Lukashenko. They are set to discuss their strategic partnership as well as regional and international issues.

Lukashenko, who held onto power following what is widely seen as a fraudulent election in 2020, is reliant on financial support from Putin.

Iranian drones are lose lose for Ukraine. They either hit target or shoot them down using anti air missiles costing 100 times more than the drone itself.

I love the people that are partying on and keeping the music in their lives. This is what has worked for me-through cancer, extremely negligent surgery/you name it. Standing strong !!!✌

Shoigu looks grim in that vid. 😕 What’s the matter Sergei?

[relevantlife]

First Russia is running out of missiles now they are running out of experienced soldiers 🙄

[ignasiodondo]

The unpopular partial mobilisation ended up yielding more than the intended number of recruits? Some kind of unpopularity it seems. It seems the air defenses are working in Ukraine even though power is lost.

Where's Lavrov? Did he fall out of his first floor veranda?

[Blastsniper]

Don't worry.. Western nations will send help and implement sanctions until the last Ukrainian standing!
