Unrelenting Russian Assault: Nearly 500 Drones and 40 Missiles Strike Ukraine Overnight
President Zelenski reports a brutal overnight assault with almost 500 drones and 40 missiles launched by Russia against Ukrainian cities, causing deaths and injuries—exposing Moscow’s unyielding aggression that threatens global stability.
In the dead of night, Russia unleashed a staggering barrage on Ukraine—nearly 500 drones and 40 missiles, including advanced Kinzhal hypersonic weapons. This indiscriminate strike shattered civilian infrastructure across multiple regions, claiming at least four lives in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old girl, and wounding over 40 innocents nationwide.
Why Does Moscow Persist in Terrorizing Ordinary Ukrainians?
President Volodymyr Zelenski called these attacks what they are: deliberate acts of terror aimed squarely at peaceful cities. From Kyiv’s damaged cardiology institute to bombed bakeries and tire factories, the damage reveals Putin’s strategy of grinding down Ukraine’s resilience through fear and destruction. The assault spanned regions from southern Odesa to northern Chernihiv, demonstrating Russia’s refusal to honor any diplomatic process.
This savage offensive didn’t come arbitrarily but arrived as the world gathered for the United Nations General Assembly. Zelenski rightly pointed out that such timing exposes Moscow’s true colors—rejecting dialogue in favor of continued bloodshed. It raises a critical question for American policymakers: How long will Washington tolerate a regime whose actions threaten European stability and America’s national security?
America Must Lead With Strength to End Russia’s Aggression
The relentless attacks underscore why an “America First” approach is essential. Protecting our borders begins with confronting external threats that destabilize entire regions. Supporting Ukraine is not just humanitarian—it safeguards the free world order upon which America’s prosperity depends.
Zelenski emphasized the need to cut off Russia’s revenue streams by halting all imports—a policy championed by former President Donald Trump as part of his commitment to national sovereignty and economic liberty. Weak sanctions or half-measures only embolden tyrants like Putin. To defend freedom abroad is to protect liberty at home.
The choice is clear: uphold American values by backing decisive action against foreign aggression or watch adversaries exploit global weakness while our own security erodes. For hardworking Americans facing inflation and uncertainty, there can be no complacency when tyrants launch nightly missile barrages thousands of miles away.
