🇺🇸🇷🇺 THE U.S. WARNS: “PUTIN’S PAYBACK IS STILL LOADING”

The U.S. says that Friday’s missile barrage on Kyiv wasn’t the main event, just Russia warming up before things get way uglier.

Officials expect a brutal combo of missiles, drones, and “asymmetrical” hits, likely aimed at Ukraine’s intelligence and defense centers.

Symbolic targets are also on the list, because nothing says “we’re insecure” like blowing up a government building.

While Moscow’s pretending their warplanes are fine, U.S. intel says up to 10 were destroyed in Ukraine’s wild 117-drone ambush.

So yeah, Putin’s not done sulking.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 KHARKIV BOMBED AS RUSSIA BLAMES KYIV FOR PRISONER SWAP STALL

Russia hit Kharkiv hard this weekend.

Buildings crumbled, fires broke out, and at least 4 civilians were killed.

1 strike used forty drones and bombs on a single spot.

Then, just to spice things up, Russia claimed Ukraine ditched a prisoner swap deal.

Ukraine’s response? “Stop making stuff up and get back to work.”

Meanwhile, Ukraine took out a Russian fighter jet, trashed missile launchers, and dropped drones deep inside Russia.

They possibly wrecked 10% of Russia’s strategic bombers.

🇺🇦🇷🇺25 KILLED AS RUSSIA AND UKRAINE ESCALATE DEADLIEST STRIKES IN MONTHS

The war between Russia and Ukraine just got louder. Overnight, strikes on both sides killed 25 people and left cities smoldering.

Russia bombed the Kharkiv, about 50 miles from Belgorod, Russia, killing 3 and injuring 22.

Officials say it was the worst attack on the city since the war began.

Missiles and 40 drones hit homes, schools, and infrastructure. Russia claimed all targets were military.

Photos of burned-out apartments disagreed.

Ukraine fired back with drones deep into Russian territory.

2 people in the Moscow region were injured.

Airports near the capital shut down briefly.

Russia says it shot down 36 Ukrainian drones. Ukraine says it shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet. Russia said nothing.

A German official revealed a recent Ukrainian drone strike may have damaged 10% of Russia’s long-range bomber fleet.

That is a huge dent in Russia’s airpower.

Meanwhile, Ukraine suddenly paused a planned swap of prisoners and bodies.

Just days ago both sides agreed to return 12,000 soldiers’ remains.
