Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital of Kiev on Monday morning, with US Ambassador Bridget Brink writing on X that she observed “Loud explosions in Kyiv” as “Again this morning Russia is attacking Ukraine with hypersonic missiles. Loud explosions in Kyiv. Over the last five days, Russia has launched hundreds of missiles and drones against a sovereign country.”
So far at least seven people have been reported inured, and a three story building in the central part of the city has been severely damaged.
A teenage girl was among the injured. Among the group of casualties, “Two of them are hospitalized. Others were treated by medics on the spot. Rescuers continue to clear the debris,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram.
“Next to the destroyed premises of the state educational institution is a dormitory where there were many people. Fortunately, there was no damage, and no one was injured.” Russia’s use of hypersonic missiles against the capital remains very rare, showing that Moscow intends to escalate in light of recent Ukrainian cross-border attacks.
A report in Kyiv Post strongly suggests this may have been an attempted so-called decapitation strike which aims to take out Ukraine’s military and intelligence top echelons:
Kyiv Post’s sources within the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have confirmed that two ballistic missiles were launched from Russian-occupied Crimea toward Kyiv on Monday and were aimed at the SBU offices.
Today, March 25, Ukraine is observing the Day of the Security Service of Ukraine. According to sources from the Kyiv Post, the missiles were aimed at the premises where high-ranking SBU officials are located.
The major strike also appeared a retaliation attack coming on the heels of Ukraine’s military declaring a successful attack on two Russian warships and a communications center in Crimea on Sunday. That attack had also involved Russian anti-air defenses downing at least ten inbound missiles over the port of Sevastopol as the Ukrainian operation unfolded.
Ukrainian air force commander Mykola Oleshchuk wrote on social media while hailing the attacks, “The sky and the sea are of the same color! I thank the pilots and navy for their successful combat work! Crimea is ours! To the victory together!”
Unconfirmed videos quickly circulated thereafter, which CNN described:
A video posted to a local Telegram channel shows a series of large explosions in the city, sending fireballs and thick black smoke into the air. Another fireball can be seen in the far distance.
Ukraine said the vessels hit were two amphibious landing ships, the Yamal and the Azov. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear.
CNN estimates that over the course of the more than two year long war, at least 20 naval vessels have been destroyed or damaged enough to become disabled, which marks one-third of the Black Sea fleet.
More large-scale Russian airstrikes deeper into Ukraine are expected given the ongoing Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries, with the latest such attack happening Saturday but coming to light in international press via Reuters on Monday. “Rosneft’s Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara, Russia halted CDU-5, one of its two primary refining units, Reuters reports, citing two people familiar with the matter,” Bloomberg reports of this latest.
Samara lies deep inside Russian territory, over 500 miles from the Ukraine border, making this another very long-range strike by Ukraine…
Regional Governor Dmitry Azarov described that a large a fire broke due to direct impact by Ukrainian drone attack over the weekend, per statements in Interfax, damaging the primary oil refining unit.

How come nobody ever gets killed by these wonder weapons?
Because the narrative is that they are all neutralized by the anti-missile warfare going on. So if the damage is reported then that means the missiles made it to the targets, and that the US patriot systems are crap, and could not protect the USA if need be. So best not to report anything. Same thing is going on with Israel, all lies. Bitchute has about the best video.
Nice…….
When the USA through its agent from the U.K. told Zelensky not to negotiate a peace deal with Putin as they would shower him with cash from the USA, the poor dumb bastard did not get how many of his country men would die, or if he did he did not care as he would get to be mega rich beyond his wildest dreams to buy off shore palaces in Florida and Paris.
I imagine that he is never sleeping in the same place twice as Putin surely has him in his sights by now.
Zelensky isn’t dumb and none of his countrymen are dying in this war
Hundreds of missiles and only 7 people injured and 1 building partially destroyed?
Over missed defence…..or lack thereof?
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum
It’s all just a masonic schitshow
“It’s all just a masonic schitshow”.
Haaaaaaa…ordo ab chao Buddy!
Oops mark…
Hi mark….
I spent a couple hours with the county appraiser today. She is a 30 year veteran and had worked at 2 of the 3 biggest countys in the state. (She’s been here about 6 or 7 years)
I may have ‘won’ to the tune of about 35,000….but more importantly to me is how she readily agreed about the mason’s control over this little berg…
“Not much can be done about it” she said…😆
I go before the county commission in the morning….of course, there are masonic cornerstones on the government buildings at the county seat, so they won’t like what I have say.
I’m gonna say it anyway…..it will be good for them to hear.
GNL, it looks like Bagdad Bob is at it again, apparently.
“…which aims to take out Ukraine’s military and intelligence top echelons:”
that should have and could have been done a long time ago. but as someone opined, perhaps the russians are not in this to win.
An article just last week was stating the obvious … Putin has to deal with the jews in charge of things there just like the US does …
Putin.
Just fucking DO IT!
He is too busy winning to sink to such base tactics.
What “sovreign” country would that be?……
a figment of western ignorance.
