Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has threatened to attack decision-making centres in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv with the country’s new ballistic missile, Oreshnik.
Putin was speaking hours after Russia launched a “comprehensive” strike on Ukraine’s energy grid overnight, in what he called a response to “continued attacks” using US-supplied Atacms missiles on Russian soil.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that any “Russian blackmail” would be met with a “tough response”.
There were no fatalities in the overnight strike, but it left more than one million people in Ukraine without power.

@blackresc0034 no, the true name is Kиïв, not Kiev or Kyiv just like the true name isn’t Ukraine, it’s Украϊна.
Don’t play the politically correct bullshit, I’ll start spelling Kiev as Kyiv when you start calling Greece as Hellas or the Ukraine as Ukraïna. Efffing libtards always changing the languages because of whiney morons.
But when we need to write it in English, the correct transliteration of Kиïв is Kyiv.
@andrewadams6905 …and the correct transliteration is Ukraïna, not the Ukraine. The spelling changed from Kiev to Kyiv to placate the butt hurt feelings of russophobes. You do realize that it was the Russians or the Kievan Rus who founded Kiev… there’s no such thing as the Kievan Ukrains. It’s Kiev not Kyiv.
@@dimtso6107 Wrong, there is no letter ï in English. Ukraine is English name for the country, not transliteration, just like Russia. But only Russian imperialists are expressing their “butt hurt feelings” by complaining about the correct transliteration of Kиïв. What is a “russophobe”, someone with common sense and aversion to brainwashed invaders? East Slavic tribes and Kyiv existed long before Norsemen arrived, and invented “Russians” in the 9th century.
@andrewadams6905 we will have to agree to disagree…but I grew up with Kiev as the only English spelling of Kiev at a time when us westerners were fighting Soviet Russian imperialism. All the maps and encyclopedias from Britain and the USA that I have, show the Kiev spelling. By the ways, British English uses the ï letter.
@@dimtso6107 The correct transliteration of Kиïв is Kyiv, and there is no letter ï in English (British or American), but you can certainly disagree with facts all you want. All official names in USSR were Russian, that’s why we never saw Ukrainian version Kyiv. But USSR collapsed over 30 years ago.
No suicidal threats from Kremlin today? Someone better check if Kremlin Z-ombies are ok. LOL
Kiev not Kyiv
Russia can keep publishing its maps with Russian version Kiev, but for the rest of the world the correct name of Ukrainian capital is Kyiv.
@andrewadams6905 the Russians and the Ukrainians don’t spell it Kiev, they spell it Киев and Киϊв. И is i and e and ϊ are e so then Kиϊв is rendered as Kiev.
@@dimtso6107 Obviously, Russian and Ukrainian names have different pronunciation, spelling, and transliteration. Ukrainian capital has its proper Ukrainian name (Київ) and correct transliteration (Kyiv). Ukrainian letter ї is never transliterated as ‘e’.
@andrewadams6905 interesting, i have different sources.
@@dimtso6107 Provide your “source” where Ukrainian letter ї is transliterated as ‘e’.
Как хорошо , что советский союз построил там метро , есть где сидеть , а то бы так в своих хлипких домах не спрятались бы . Россия все там построила с древних времен , а вот что там иностранцы делают на русских землях все знают . Все деньгами не нажруться , обворовывая весь мир . Пошли вон , русские и украинцы родственники , сами разберутся . Природные ресурсы вы не получите . И верните , все что вы из древних храмов украли . Это наших предков наследие , а не ваше .
Typical Russian fascist came here to share old BS from Russian Z-ombie TV, nothing new.
