Russia Launches Aerial Attacks on Eve of War Anniversary. Ukrainian Drones Paralyze Moscow Airports

On the eve of the fourth anniversary of the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukrainian territory became the target of one of the most powerful aerial attacks in this phase of the ongoing conflict. According to official statements from the General Staff and reports shared by the President of Ukraine, Russian forces used nearly 300 modern attack drones and about 50 missiles of various types. This massive, sudden bombardment covered key regions of the independent state, including the capital Kyiv and cities such as Odesa and Zaporizhzhia, where missile strikes severely damaged civilian facilities. Available data indicates that the attacks resulted in several to over a dozen fatalities (various agencies report from 3 to 5 dead), and over a dozen other people sustained significant injuries. The direct, escalating threat near the border at night forced Polish military commands to urgently intervene. Consequently, allied fighter jets were immediately scrambled into the air to protect the national border. Since the start of the armed invasion in the winter of 2022, the aggressor's forces have been conducting brutal missile strikes with cold regularity, aimed at inducing widespread paralysis among the population directly on the eve of symbolically significant national dates. Russian Attack Means Used in Sunday: Attack drones: 300, Ballistic and rocket missiles: 50 Notably, the war for the skies is rapidly moving deeper into the aggressor's territory. The presence of Ukrainian drones caused temporary operational difficulties for Moscow's aviation centers, leading to a preventive suspension of passenger traffic at four of the capital's main airports early Sunday morning. After the threat subsided and the drones were shot down by air defense, airport operations resumed. Meanwhile, in Lviv, macabre echoes of last week's attack involving conventionally concealed strike systems are resurfacing on their own. In the dense city center, lethal improvised explosive devices were indeed detonated. Their unexpected explosion led locally to the death of a twenty-three-year-old officer from the local law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, according to official protocols, as many as twenty-five public individuals suffered general medical injuries, with these drastic statistics including, besides random witnesses, mainly uniformed personnel present during the rescue patrol. However, military investigators managed to arrest the accused unit responsible, which was coordinated via encrypted channels on the Telegram messenger. 500 mln euro — this is the final value of the secret arms contract with Moscow Global military tensions and drama are systematically undermining diplomatic relations in Middle Eastern countries, which are receiving further shipments of death. As confirmed in-depth by European analytical departments, a bilateral combat contract was formed under the leadership of the Kremlin and the regime in Iran, valued at a staggering sum of half a billion euros. Its core is to be the transfer to the Eastern powers of a solid batch of Verba launch systems, estimated at 500 units, and supporting ballistic armament valued at over two and a half thousand independent rocket missiles. The immediate concern expressed by experts about the growing strength and seriousness of a criminal state's proliferation is causing suffocating outrage in the free world fighting against the oppression of aggressors threatening European ideals of freedom. Without hesitation, following nights of tragedy, the president of the attacked country refers to this loudly, passionately appealing directly after strikes by the foreign army. „„Nelle ultime ore colpiti da 300 droni e 50 missili, un morto”” — Volodymyr Zelenskyy
