Vladimir Putin has unveiled a terrifying new warfare tactic, deploying 298 drones alongside 69 missiles in a coordinated swarm attack designed to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses during Kyiv Day celebrations. This massive 367-projectile assault represents the largest and most sophisticated air raid in three years of conflict, deliberately targeting civilian happiness.
The drone swarm strategy creates an inescapable web of terror, as Ukrainian families found themselves unable to predict or avoid the multiple waves of attacks during their most cherished holiday. At least 12 people died, including three children, while thousands more experienced lasting trauma as celebrations transformed into desperate searches for underground shelter. The calculated timing reveals Putin’s strategy of weaponizing joy and cultural traditions.
President Trump has responded with unprecedented fury, calling Putin “absolutely CRAZY” and warning that Russia’s expansion efforts will ultimately cause its own “downfall.” Ukrainian President Zelensky has condemned American diplomatic “silence” while demanding automatic sanctions for each terrorist strike. This sophisticated assault demonstrates Putin’s commitment to psychological warfare through the deliberate targeting of civilian celebrations and cultural identity.
