MASSIVE RUSSIAN ATTACK, POLAND-UKRAINE TIES FRACTURE – w/ The Duran's Alex Christoforou

What was said

"I believe the Ukraine military has even come out with a statement saying that these were the biggest missile strikes into Kiev since the beginning of the SMO. And I think this is just the beginning for Russia."

Russia launched its largest coordinated missile attack on Kiev since the war's start, deploying 74 missiles including 30 cruise missiles, 24 Iskanders, and 12 Zircons, with Ukraine intercepting only 24—far fewer than usual. The analyst argues these strikes were planned weeks in advance as part of a broader strategy to degrade Ukraine's fuel supplies and military facilities, not retaliation. Russia is reportedly preparing to expand operations northward toward Sumy and complete control of Donbas, which would dismantle NATO's decade-long defensive fortifications.
