Well, we haven't heard from Russian President Vladimir Putin yet. Russia's defense ministry confirmed the drone strikes on several bases, but played down their impact, saying only several planes had caught fire. Now, we haven't been able to independently verify any of this, but arguably the perception that Ukraine can strike anywhere is as important as the physical damage.

For example, one pro-Kremlin military blogger compared Sunday's attack to a Russian Pearl Harbor.

Yeah, a lot happened. Ukraine said Russia launched more than 470 drones and missiles on targets across Ukraine, the deadliest of which hit a military training base, killing 12 soldiers.

Meanwhile, at least seven people were killed and dozens more injured after a bridge collapsed on a Russian passenger train traveling in western Russia Saturday night and a separate rail bridge collapsed in a neighboring Russian region hours later, derailing a freight train. Russian authorities have launched a terrorism probe and some in Moscow are already blaming Ukraine.

President Trump, who deserves some credit, I think, for forcing these two sides to the negotiating table, has essentially agreed with that Russian position and argued Ukraine needs to make major concessions. Think back to that moment in the White House earlier this year when Trump told Zelensky Ukraine had no cards to play. Well, that narrative was somewhat upended by events on Sunday.
