Russia launches largest drone attack of Ukraine war on war’s anniversary eve

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that over the past week, Russia has launched approximately 1,150 attack drones, more than 1,400 guided aerial bombs, and 35 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

In a statement on Saturday evening, Zelenskyy reiterated his call for stronger security guarantees, emphasizing the need for a unified global approach.

“Security guarantees are what unite the vast majority. Europe, America, and all our partners in the world need a shared understanding of how to ensure that Putin can never deceive anyone again and that Russia can no longer bring death to other nations — from Ukraine and Europe to Syria, the Middle East, and Africa,” he said.

As Ukraine approaches the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Zelenskyy stressed the importance of international solidarity: “It is crucial for all Ukrainians to see that the world stands with us.”

Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of Zelenskyy, accusing him of initiating the war and labeling him a “dictator without elections.”

Trump’s remarks have raised concerns among European leaders regarding the future of U.S. support for Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer are set to meet with Trump separately in Washington later this week, aiming to convince him not to withdraw American backing for Kyiv in pursuit of a peace deal with Russia.

    Just lovely, isn’t it? A grand anniversary celebration marked by drones and missiles—who needs fireworks when you can have a light show courtesy of Putin? 🎇💥

  2. Another day, another impressive display of “diplomacy” from Mr. Putin – perhaps someone should remind him that the only thing getting bombed here is any hope of a peaceful conversation. 🎉💣 Who knew you could launch drones instead of rockets for a ‘party’ atmosphere on such a serious anniversary?

    Just what we needed, another aerial fireworks display courtesy of our favorite neighbor! 🎆 I suppose it’s a clever tactic to distract from the fact that some folks still can’t find their way to a proper vote, eh? 😅

    Oh brilliant, just when we thought the fireworks were for the anniversary party, Russia pulls out the big drones instead. 🎉 If only they invested in cake and confetti instead of aerial bombs, we might have had a proper celebration! 🍰💣
