NATO warplanes scrambled as Putin’s bombers launch enormous blitz on Ukraine with 93 missiles & 200 drones

NATO warplanes were scrambled as Vladimir Putin’s bombers launched an enormous blitz on Ukraine.

A dictator from Russia sent out 93 missiles and 200 drones in an attack on its energy systems overnight. This could result in half of the nation losing access to electricity.

Some 11 of the missiles were downed by F-16 planes, provided by the West, Volodymyr Zelensky claimed.

Many people were anticipating a large-scale attack from Russia, but so far, there have been no confirmed sightings of the powerful medium-range ballistic missile Oreshnik that was expected to be used.

Instead, Ukraine was hit with Iskander, Kalibr, Kinzhal missiles and Iranian-designed Shahed kamikaze drones.

Parts of Kyiv have now lost power with the city’s underground rail having stopped running.

Energy minister German Galushchenko said: “’The enemy continues its terror.

“Once again, [the power sector][ throughout Ukraine is under massive attack.

“Energy workers are taking all necessary measures to minimise the negative consequences for the power system.

“As soon as the safety situation allows, the damage caused will be clarified.”

Zelensky has now blasted Putin over the attack and his claims that he wants peace.

The brave leader said: “This is how he wants ‘negotiations’ – terrorising millions of people.

“And he is not limited either in range or in purchasing the necessary components for the production of missiles.

“We need ‘Patriots’ to shoot down these missiles and prove that terror will not achieve its goal.”
