RUSSIA TORCHES KIEV HOURS AFTER TRUMP-PUTIN CALL

Air raid sirens are blaring and fires lit up the skies over Kiev, Ukraine tonight. Millions are sheltering underground while waves of attacks sweep through multiple regions.  WELL OVER 100 Russian suicide drones reportedly hit cities across Ukraine.

Russia unleashed a wave of missiles and drones on the Ukrainian capital city. The scale of the drone swarm reportedly marks one of the largest single night attacks in recent months.  The map below shows the approximate scale of the drone swarm:

In an attack that lasted all night, Russia fired 550 drones and missiles onto Kiev — one of the largest attacks of the war.

This morning, residents emerge from bomb shelters to find ruins all over the city:

8 impact sites

33 debris zones

23 injured.

Homes, warehouses, transport and infrastructure, damaged across 6 districts of the Ukraine capital.

Rail and public transit disrupted. Smoke has made the air almost unbreathable.

The strike immediately followed the Trump-Putin call.

Ukraine Hits Russian Energy Infrastructure

Ukraine launched a drone attack on the Sergiyev Posad district near Moscow, Russia early today, injuring one person and leaving parts of the religiously significant center without electric power, the head of the district said.

At least four explosions were recorded in the district - some 75 km (47 miles) from the Kremlin - and that a power substation was damaged, leaving swaths of the district without electricity.

The district's administrative center, the town of Sergiyev Posad, is considered the religious center of the Moscow Region and a spiritual heart of Russia's Orthodox Church. The city's monastery, the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius that was founded in the 14th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Russia's defense ministry said on Telegram that its air defense units destroyed 48 Ukrainian drones overnight over five Russian regions. The ministry, which only reports how many drones its forces destroy, not how many Ukraine launches, did not list the Moscow region as one where drones were downed.

In the southern Russian region of Rostov a woman was killed as a result of Ukraine's drone attacks, which damaged several apartment buildings and forced the evacuation of scores of people from their homes, the acting governor of the region said on Friday.

Previously, both Ukraine and Russia agreed to NOT TARGET energy infrastructure.  Ukraine has now struck an electric power plant / sub-station.  The agreement is now broken.

Hal Turner Analysis

Europeans, from pipsqueak countries with puny armies, look on - powerless - and demand the US do something.   

The US __is__ doing something: Halting weapons shipments of certain items to Ukraine.   

Maybe Ukraine should go ask that European powerhouse, Estonia, for help?

If not Estonia, then what about that other bastion of sovereign military power, Lithuania?
