Russia responds to major US-German tank deal with a massive missile attack on Ukraine

Russia unleashed a massive missile assault on non-military Ukraine targets Thursday, killing at least 11 people one day after the U.S. and Germany agreed to send dozens of elite tanks to Ukraine in a deal that could alter the fortunes of combatants on both sides of the 11-month war.

Ukrainian air defense shot down 47 out of 55 missiles Russia fired at energy and other critical infrastructure, the head of Ukraine's armed forces said. Valerii Zaluzhnyi said 20 missiles had been destroyed over Kyiv alone in what was the first such Russian barrage in almost two weeks. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said one person was killed by falling debris from a rocket.

Eleven deaths were confirmed and at least 11 other people were injured across the country, state emergency services reported. In Zaporizhzhia district one missile killed three people and wounded seven, local officials said.

"Russia's goal remains the same – psychological pressure on Ukrainians and the destruction of critical infrastructure," Zaluzhnyi said.

Putin sounds like the kind of guy who takes it out on his wife when things aren't going his way.

Oh that's right. He's no longer married.

A temper tantrum because they are unable to respond in any meaningful way. Maybe he'll attack NATO with his new 79 year old T-34 tanks he just bought from Laos.
