DON’T LOOK AWAY.

Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine with 611 drones and 70 missiles, targeting Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and other regions. The video breaks down the numbers, including the high drone interception rate, the weaker ballistic missile interception rate, and the predicted missile buildup that pointed toward a strike of roughly this size. The attack damaged cultural sites including the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the Dovzhenko Film Studio, the Mystetskyi Arsenal, the Kharkiv art museum, residential neighborhoods, and other locations.

The update also explains why the strike fits Russia's broader problem: Moscow is struggling on the battlefield and under pressure from Ukrainian long-range strikes, so it uses mass attacks to project strength and terrorize civilians.
