Russian authorities say three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow in the early hours on Sunday, injuring one person and prompting a temporary closure for traffic of one of four airports around the Russian capital.
It was the fourth such attempt at a strike on the capital region this month and the third this week, fueling concerns about Moscow´s vulnerability to attacks as Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month.
The Russian Defense Ministry referred to the incident as an “attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime” and said three drones targeted the city. One was shot down in the surrounding Moscow region by air defense systems and two others were jammed. Those two crashed into the Moscow City business district in the capital.

Russian authorities said they successfully prevented Ukrainian drone attacks against Moscow and occupied Crimea early on Monday.
The Russian foreign ministry said it was able to stop two drones that were deployed to strike the capital using electronic warfare. While they crashed, no one was injured and there was only damage to two non-residential buildings. Russia accused Ukraine of being behind the attack, and a defense intelligence official told CNN that Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, an arm of the Ministry of Defense, carried out the plot.
“All the drones have been neutralized today, and measures are being taken,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said afterward. “As for the development of the defense system, ensuring its more intensive work, this is a question for the Ministry of Defense.”
The ministry, after more than a year of targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, accused Ukraine of resorting to “terrorist methods” by “intimidation of the civilian population.
“These attacks had no military meaning,” the statement said. “We strongly condemn this yet another crime of the Kyiv regime. We call on international organizations to give it a proper assessment. Behind the brazen actions of Ukrainian neo-Nazis is the West’s focus on further aggravating the situation.” (Read more from “Russia Largely Thwarts Ukrainian Drone Attacks in Moscow and Crimea” HERE)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a “full protective shield” of air defense systems to be provided to his country following a campaign of what he described as “Russian missile terror”.
Amid missile shelling attacks in the Donetsk region and the Black Sea port city of Odesa, President Zelensky has called on Western allies to provide Ukraine with more anti-aircraft systems to protect the entirety of the country.
“Ukraine needs a full-fledged sky shield – this is the only way to defeat Russian missile terror. We have already shown that we can shoot down even the Russian missiles that the terrorists boasted about,” the Ukrainian president wrote on Twitter.
“Thanks to the help of our partners and the air defense systems provided to Ukraine, our defenders of the sky have saved thousands of lives. But we need more air defense systems for our entire territory, for all our cities and communities. The world must not get used to Russian terror – terror must be defeated. And it is possible!”
The comments followed another round of attacks on the city of Odesa on Sunday morning, following strikes that appeared to target grain storage facilities earlier in the week.

Former President Donald Trump declined to say in an interview that aired over the weekend that he would cut off funding to Ukraine.
The remarks were contained in the second part of an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” that was recorded a little over a week ago.
“Look at all the money we’re giving to Ukraine and yet Ukraine was paying the Biden family a fortune,” Trump said referencing the military aide that U.S. is giving to Ukraine in its war against Russia and the alleged bribes that then-Vice President Biden received.
“Would you stop the money to Ukraine at this point?” Bartiromo asked.
“I’d get the war settled,” Trump responded. “The money is—, number one, I’d tell Europe, you gotta—, you’re about $100+ billion short. Okay? You gotta pay. Because Europe is smiling all the way to the bank. We’re giving all of these, this, Europe is doing very little compared to the United States. And it affects them more.”
Donald Trump won't say that he'll cut funding to Ukraine if elected president.

By New York Post. A bombshell FBI informant file describing a $10 million bribery allegation against President Biden and his son Hunter was released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, showing that a Ukrainian oligarch claimed that he was “coerced” into making the payoff.
Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of natural gas company Burisma Holdings, told the FBI informant in 2016 while meeting at a coffee shop in Vienna, Austria, that “it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden,” according to the redacted FD-1023 form.
“Zlochevsky made some comment that although Hunter Biden ‘was stupid, and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog was smarter,’ Zlochevsky needed to keep Hunter Biden (on Burisma’s board) ‘so everything will be okay,’” the June 2020 document says.
The source asked whether Hunter Biden or Joe Biden told Zlochevsky he should “retain” the younger Biden; Zlochevsky allegedly replied, “They both did.”
The federal informant — a Ukrainian-American who has been a trusted, highly credible FBI source for over a decade and been paid “six figures,” according to Grassley — described four conversations with Zlochevsky, beginning with a meeting near Kyiv in late 2015 or early 2016 and continuing through a 2019 phone call.

Ukrainian Oligarch Who Allegedly Bribed the Bidens Was ‘Forced’ Into Sending Money, FBI Form Says
By Daily Caller. Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden, was “coerced” into sending them money, according to an FBI FD-1023 form released Thursday by Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
Zlochevsky and the confidential human source (CHS) allegedly participated in a phone call after the 2016 presidential election, in which Zlochevsky said he was “pushed to pay” the Bidens and did not want to send the money, according to the form.
“CHS asked Zlochevsky whether he was concerned about Burisma’s involvement with the Bidens. Zlochevsky stated he didn’t want to pay the Bidens and he was ‘pushed to pay’ them,” the FD-1023 form reads.
“(CHS explained the Russian term Zlochevsky used to explain the payments was ‘poluchili’ (transliterated by the CHS), which literally translates to ‘got it’ or ‘received it,’ but is also used in Russian-criminal-slang for being ‘forced or coerced to pay’,” the form continues.
“CHS then stated, ‘l hope you have some back-up (proof) for your words (namely, that Zlochevsky was ‘forced’ to pay the Bidens). Zlochevsky replied he has many text messages and ‘recordings’ that show that he was coerced to make such payments,” the form adds.

The FBI knew about President Joe Biden’s Ukraine business dealings before the “Laptop from Hell” reporting, an FBI informant document released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) shows.
The FD-1023 form is dated June 20, 2020, and the source reporting was from June 26, 2020.
The form alleges that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden each received $5 million from Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma Holdings, after Joe Biden threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until President Petro Poroshenko fired a prosecutor investigating Burisma.
It also confirms Breitbart News’s reporting that the FBI’s informant document said that Hunter and Joe Biden allegedly “coerced” the Burisma executive into paying them $10 million in bribes, along with Grassley’s claim that the FBI informant said Zlochevsky kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with Hunter and Joe Biden as an “insurance policy.”
The dates on the form predate the New York Post’s initial reporting about the “big guy” from “Laptop from Hell” in mid-October 2020. (Read more from “Document: FBI Knew About ‘Big Guy’ Joe Biden’s Ukraine Business Before Laptop From Hell Reporting” HERE)

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would tell Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to end the war between their countries.
Russia invaded Ukraine Feb. 24, 2022, launching a massive attack across the latter country. The United States has sent over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine, and announced in January they would send 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks after a December announcement that a battery of MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missiles would be provided.
“I know Zelenskyy very well because he was very honorable with the fake phone call impeachment hoax number one. They said I made a phone call to him and I was threatening,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I was actually very nice, congratulating him, but when they asked, they said, ‘were you threatened?’ He didn’t even know what they were talking about.”
“He is very honorable. He could’ve done grandstanding and said he felt threatened. He didn’t do that,” Trump continued. “As you know, I get along very well with Putin. I would tell Putin, you’ve got to settle. I would tell Zelenskyy, you’ve got to settle. I would get a settlement in 24 hours.” (Read more from “Trump Says He Would Directly Tell Putin, ‘Honorable’ Zelensky to End War” HERE)

Trump Says Media Lying About Ukraine War: ‘Hundreds of Thousands of People Are Dying’
By Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump said during an event on Tuesday evening that the legacy media was lying about Russia’s war in Ukraine by underplaying how bad the death and destruction truly are.
Trump made the remarks during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity in Iowa after he said over the weekend that he would threaten Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine by telling him that if he did not, the U.S. would send more weapons to Ukraine than they have ever received before.
Trump says the media is lying about the war in Ukraine: "You're going to find out when this whole thing is over that the number of people killed is far greater than they tell you. They're not telling you the truth. I'm for one thing. I want to stop people from getting killed." pic.twitter.com/SKwrCxAMpy

By Business Insider. When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a 48-year-old American veteran and building contractor from Connecticut named James Vasquez was one of thousands of volunteers who went to join the fight.
He quickly became one of the most recognizable faces of the foreign fighters in Ukraine, often going viral with his battlefield updates and dramatic social-media posts purportedly from the front lines.
In his videos and posts, he bragged about capturing Russians and taking out tanks, was regularly interviewed by the news media, and made catchy claims including that he imagined the “punchable” Tucker Carlson when preparing for battle.
He gained more than 400,000 followers on Twitter and even got a shout-out from Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who called for his account to be verified.
[But he recently admitted to the New York Times that] “I had to tell a million lies to get ahead. I didn’t realize it was going to come to this.” Insider was unable to reach Vasquez for comment, as his social-media profiles have been deactivated and calls to two phone numbers for him provided by sources went unanswered.

American Fighting In Ukraine Who Claimed to Be Decorated Sergeant Lied About Extent of Military Service
By Clare Fitzgerald. The Russo-Ukrainian War has saw several former American servicemen volunteer to take up arms and fight in Eastern Europe. One of them was James Vasquez, 48, a decorated veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan – except, he never did. After amassing hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, it came to light that Vasquez isn’t a war hero, but, instead, a culprit of stolen valor.
James Vasquez is a former home improvement contractor from Norwalk, Connecticut. After traveling to Ukraine, he’d garnered a following of individuals who kept up to date with his exploits on the frontlines, which he claimed included capturing 159 Russians and even taking into custody a mercenary with Wagner PMC.
According to Vasquez, he was a decorated retired sergeant with the US Army who’d fought in Kuwait, as well as in Afghanistan and Iraq. During one interview, he even spoke about the differences between the fighting in Ukraine and what he’d previously experienced, saying, “I was in Kuwait during Desert Storm, and I was in Iraq after 9/11 […] This is a whole different animal.” . . .
After months of rumblings on social media, The New York Times interviewed James Vasquez, who admitted to misrepresenting his military service for decades – including lying to his now-ex-wife. Speaking with the publication, he revealed he’d been kicked out of the US Army Reserve, before being deployed. He also shared that he specialized in fuel and electrical repairs, as opposed to combat.
A spokesperson for the Pentagon confirmed this, saying Vasquez was never deployed overseas and revealing that he’d served as a fuel and electrical systems repairer with the New York National Guard between July 1992 and July 1993, after which he served in the Army Reserve from July 1993 to August 2003.

By Mediaite. A huge 95.8% of attendees in the Turning Points Action conference straw poll said they oppose the United States supporting Ukraine against Russia, Charlie Kirk announced on the stage in Florida on Sunday.
The Turning Points Action conference saw about 6,000 attendees for Donald Trump’s keynote speech this weekend at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.
As expected at the MAGA event, Trump dominated in the straw poll of attendees conducted over the course of the event, with Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming in third, not second, as the choice for nominee. DeSantis was not first place even on the question of who would be the nominee if not Trump – instead the overwhelming selection was businessman and primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
On the question of support for “U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine,” the result came close to being unanimous.
“We asked the question, ‘Do you support U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine?’” said Kirk on Sunday. “95.8% of you said no.” (Read more from “Whopping Ninety-Six Percent Oppose Supporting Ukraine Against Russia in New Poll” HERE)

A top Biden administration official on Sunday said the United States would continue to send Ukraine aid and weapons “as long as it takes” for the war with Russia to come to an end.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan made the comments on ABC News’s “This Week” with host George Stephanopoulos, saying that the American people have really “hung in there” in terms of being supportive of the aid. Sullivan noted that, despite some Republicans in Congress expressing their discontent with continued assistance, high-ranking Republicans such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have continued to support it.
“I actually think there is a strong backing for Ukraine in the Congress, not just among Democrats, but among Republicans as well,” Sullivan said. “Therefore, we believe that we can back up the statement that we will give Ukraine everything it needs for as long as it takes.”
Asked by Stephanopoulos whether he was worried about the support of the American people as the war continues to drag on, Sullivan said opinion polls today show Americans are largely supportive of aid to Ukraine.
“If you look at the Republican Party, there is a small cadre of Republicans who stand up and say, ‘we should stop helping Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression,’” Sullivan told the host. Despite this, the national security adviser pointed to McConnell and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) co-signing a statement expressing their continued support for assistance to Ukraine.
Despite some Republicans calling to end Ukraine aid, Jake Sullivan says there is “strong backing for Ukraine in the Congress.”
