Russia Hits Kyiv While Ukraine Burns Its Refineries - Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦

[2naSalit]

Russia launched a major overnight attack on Ukraine with 570 drones and missiles, including 24 ballistic missiles, exposing Ukraine's weakest air-defense category as only four ballistic missiles were intercepted while Kyiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and other regions suffered civilian casualties and extensive damage to residential buildings, hotels, businesses, farms, and civilian infrastructure. The video then contrasts that with Ukraine's own overnight strike wave into Russia, including a hit on the fourth-largest Russian oil refinery, damage to a major AVT-6 processing unit, reports of a lost Russian Ka-52 helicopter, fires at oil infrastructure, new power restrictions across occupied Crimea after substation strikes, and evidence that Ukraine may now be launching more drones than Russia.
