Ukrainian forces launched a significant cross-border incursion into the Kursk region, marking one of the largest attacks on Russian soil since the conflict began. While Russia has declared a federal-level state of emergency and deployed reinforcements to the area, Ukraine continues to target military infrastructure and logistics hubs.

Stupid question by a dumb host. This is a scratch compared to what Russia has done in Ukraine for FOUR years. Go and check out Mariupol, Bucha, etc. In any case, the drones that fell on civilian objects in Moscow were diverted by electronic warfare which made them miss their military and industrial targets…..
I appertained the tolerance of Russia
Zelenskyy should have said, this is just a beginning. a taste of what is to come.
do we hear russia is complaining… should we expect bigger retaliation from russia… of course…
We know whats coming to Ukraine , no electricity no oil.
I find it impossible to believe that Putin isn't being told the truth by his generals….??? That's just crazy.
It was justified day one when Russia invited Ukraine.
Russia is too passive so far unless Ukraine is hit by massive hit as this war is stalled in all fronts
Ukraine has perfected its drone warfare. Russia needs to perfect its anti-drone warfare b fire it forces Ukraine to concede defeat.
Then don't complain after russia reply after this…
Then, Russia's nuking of Ukraine is justified.
So this is a new?The war criminal Russians are killing civilians,torturing,killing prisoners of war,deporting,looting,kidnapping children,destroying a city after another since their criminal invasion.I hope the Ukrainians will gave the same medicine to the Russian bandits!
Now we expect Russian response
Western media has become a joke😂😂😂
1:13 lol
So Russia responds with hitting decision making centers Kiev. Now I'm not in the loop of stealing taxpayer money, but anything to distract from the corruption trial in Ukraine ?
Give 'em Hell, Volodymyr!
The EU runs out of fuel in 30 days good luck.
NATO missiles,NATO targeting and intel. Woke leaders want WW3. Hundreds of billions to prolong/ escalate this awful war.
How do other countries trust and invest in useless Russian air defense systems that cannot protect their own territory? 😂😂😂
What happens if Russia nukes them? These drones are making it too easy to kill and wage war.
I Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
Justified ? Yes ! Are you kidding – all attacks in Russia are justified- it’s time to end the Putin regime !!!!
They've sown the winds and now they are going to reap the whirlwinds
Is she from Russia 24?
He can't. They targeted civilians intentionally. At night. In their own homes.
Because there's 0 military value and almost 0 infrastructure, they're no different from putin.
That's all.
Russia strike Kiev after Ukraine carried out attack on a Russian oil refineries. So zelensky saying strike on Moscow is justified 😂😂😂
let me get this straight:
1. now Ukraine attacks Moscow (civilians) which I didn't hear in the mainstream media until now
2. Ukraine is answering Russia's attack on civilians, with attacking civilians, and EU is supporting this? 😀 I won't even bother to speak the obvious moral issue. It's not the first time it happened. One word: Dresden
If the attacks are on military or government infrastructures then its technically still protected under the Geneva conventions. While Russia has been targeting civilian infrastructure, and homes. The 4 that died, were an accident. I do hope Ukraine does limit the deaths when it comes to the civilian population.
What stupid questions. Why wouldn’t Ukraine hit back when their civilians are under massive attacks.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Ukraine has every right to attack anything in Russia, from tanks to dams, refineries, ships and if Russia hits homes, then Ukraine can hit homes. When Russia leaves all Ukraine territory including Crimea then the war may come to en end.
Then Russia strikes back.
If you kids don't settle down, I'm gonna turn this car around and no one will get ice cream.
How can they justify this!? Are u kidding me!? Russia has been killing Ukrainian civilians since day one.
Blow up the Don river bridges up to Rossosh
That's how hahahah
