What new Russian drone and missile attacks hit U.S.-linked warehouses in Kyiv?
All hell is breaking loose as Russia was able to launch a massive drone attack and missile attack, striking US connected factories in Ukraine, specifically in the Kiev Oblast region. You're seeing right here Russian drones attacking a McDonald's logistical warehouse right here. And it turned out these Russian drones Drones very intentionally struck this U.S. McDonald's connected warehouse. There was an initial strike at 3 a.m. and then another one during the day. You can see this McDonald's logistical warehouse right here burning down. It was utterly destroyed. Then Putin turned his attention to office buildings in Kyiv. I'm going to show you this in slow motion and Then I'll show you in a little bit footage of what it looked like outside of this office building.
But this was the moment that a Russian UAV hit a business center in Kiev. It's like a five-story, six-story building, and you can see right there the moment that UAV struck right into the center of that building. So there was at least four individuals. Who were killed as a result of that strike that you just observed right there, including at least one child. There were seven injuries. That number is expected to increase as well. In addition, we're seeing other warehouses hit hard by Putin. This is the Sushia warehouse with all its stock and packaging in the warehouse that was completely. Completely destroyed as a result of the Russian strike in Kiev. So you had that McDonald's logistical warehouse. Then next to it, you had a Sushia warehouse.
Now, Sushia is a well-known Ukrainian chain of Japanese restaurants right there. And you'll see that it is utterly uh destroyed. Uh Zelensky gave an interview and he said this is part of the hybrid warfare. That the CIA said was going to happen, that Russia's specifically targeting these foreign-owned warehouses, in addition to hitting, of course, office complexes in Kyiv and uh other infrastructure, uh, not just in Kyiv, but in Cypria. In Odessa, we've seen in lots of other areas in Ukraine and Russia is escalating. A New York Times article that came out yesterday has been saying what we've been saying now every single day, it seems, for the past um years at this point, but that uh this winter is gonna be the most difficult time, probably since the start of the war for Ukraine.
Donald Trump tapped Zelensky along, saying that he would give him interceptor.
How did the Russian UAV strike the Kyiv business centre and what were the casualties?
And then never gave the interceptors, never gave interceptor licenses. Putin's amassed a massive stockpile of ballistic missiles, and Putin's new drones are faster. These jet-powered drones are far more advanced than before. And the New York Times article talks about how since Putin and Zelensky had this stalemate on the battlefield, they're now just blowing each other. Other cities up, basically. And that's the next phase of this escalation. Zalinsky gave an interview and said after meeting with USCIA Director John Ratcliffe, the intelligence services of the United States, Europe, and Ukraine share the assessment of Russia's ongoing hybrid attacks on European arms production sites and logistics hubs in Ukraine and in the region.
as well as the Kremlin's covert mobilization. Uh Zelensky announced uh that he's willing to work with other countries and uh try to Have as much resilience as possible as they head into this winter. Now, Putin's envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, was in New York. You can see right here Dmitriev arriving in his hotel. Apparently, while all of these strikes are taking place, you have uh Dmitriev meeting with Kushner and Whitkoff in Manhattan. You see Dmitriev get into his hotel. Um, we also learn that Finland. Finland and Sweden had to scramble fighter jets together for the first time to help identify Russian military aircraft in international airspace over the Gulf of Finland. It was actually a Finnish FA-18 Hornet and a Swedish Jazz-39 Gripen intercepting a Russian transport aircraft and warplane.
As part of deeper defense cooperation between those two NATO members. The I think implication also is that NATO's Article 4, Article 5 is not really able to be invoked anymore because the Trump regime's attack on NATO.
