Kyiv celebrated its 1,541st birthday, founded when Moscow was still a swamp. This is how Russia celebrated the occasion:
This was the second straight night of massive waves of drone and missile attacks. On Saturday night, Ukraine reported 59 Iranian-made Shaheed “doodlebug” drones were launched at Kyiv, and 58 shot down. Last night, another 29 Shaheed drones and 37 cruise missiles targeted the capital.
It’s unclear how many, if any, of the latest wave reached their targets. And even shot-down drones and missiles can cause carnage on the ground. So for the third time in three days, Kyiv residents were forced to bomb shelters. Life went on.
What is clear is that this terror campaign underscores Russia’s rank impotence.
