Putin's revenge for the shame suffered has arrived and it is brutal; "Tornado S" descended on Ukraine VIDEO

That news, let's recall, occupied all the front pages of the world's media.

"Even before the start of that operation, our intelligence services had information about preparations for a new major Russian attack," Zelensky said in an evening address via the X social network.

"It is extremely important that our citizens do not ignore air alerts. Last night there were almost 500 Russian drones in the air, including attack drones. Every week they increase the number of units per attack. This time they also prepared 'Kalibar' cruise missiles from naval platforms," ​​added Zelensky.

Russian forces carried out a fierce attack on the city of Kharkiv last night, using drones and ballistic missiles, injuring at least six people, including a child, local authorities reported in the early hours of the morning.

According to the mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekov, the target of the attack was the Kolodnohirsk district, where a seven-year-old boy was allegedly among the injured, reports Kyiv Independent.

Two ballistic missiles also hit the Kyiv district. One exploded on a road, while the other exploded near residential buildings, shattering windows and damaging facades.

The exact number of injured and the extent of material damage are still being determined.

These attacks come ahead of today's negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul, but from which almost nothing is expected.

Pro-Russian analyst Sergei Markov suggested that the failure of potential negotiations as well as possible sanctions could prompt Russia to launch a major summer offensive.

"We can assume that during the peace negotiations mediated by Trump's team, Russia undertook not to launch a major offensive. If that obligation disappears, the offensive will begin. This will probably be the case in the near future," he said on "Telegram".

Did the Russians fire a multi-barrel missile system "Tornado"?

The Russian Ministry of Defense published a video of the multi-barrel Tornado S rocket launcher on the X social network.

As stated, "Tornado S" is located in the "West" group of the Russian armed forces, which is in charge of attacks on the Ukrainian armed forces, their weapons and ammunition in the Kharkiv region.
