Never forget the Republican Party does not want to defend Europe against savagery. Never forget the Republicans are refusing to fund the defense of Ukraine. Republicans don't care about our nation's historical mission to defend democracy - in fact, as Republicans attack democracy in America, they feel aligned with Russia as Russia attacks democracy in Europe.
Russia targeted Ukrainian cities with more than 150 missiles and drones on Friday morning, in what Ukrainian officials said was one of the largest air assaults of the war. At least 18 people were killed, and more than 130 were wounded, according to the Ukrainian national police, and critical infrastructure was damaged.
“This is the biggest attack since the counting began,” Yurii Ihnat, a Ukrainian Air Force spokesman, said in a brief telephone interview, adding that the military did not track air assaults in the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion last year.
For several hours on Friday, missiles, drones and debris slammed into factories, hospitals and schools in cities across Ukraine, from Lviv in the west to Kharkiv in the east, straining the country’s air defenses and sending people scrambling for shelter.
Although the level of destruction countrywide has yet to come into full focus, the scale of the Russian strikes appeared to have overwhelmed Ukraine’s air defenses.
