BREAKING: Ukraine Is Not Sitting Back. Moscow's Skies Went Quiet Tonight.
BREAKING: Ukraine Is Not Sitting Back. Moscow's Skies Went Quiet Tonight.More than a hundred drones over the Russian capital, flights grounded, and fires at Russian oil sites. For once, I get to bring you news that gives Ukraine hope.My dear Voice from Ukraine family, I am so tired of opening every letter by telling you about destruction. The children. The apartment buildings. The families sitting in the cold with no power and no water. I know how hard these letters are to read, and I know many of you are almost afraid to open them. So when I finally have some good news, I don’t want to wait until morning. That’s why I’m writing to you in the middle of the night. I just got off the phone with my source in Ukraine. What I’m hearing is simple: Ukraine is not sitting back. Overnight, Ukraine sent a massive wave of drones toward Moscow. Moscow’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, has already claimed his air defenses shot down 105 drones headed for the capital. The waves kept coming for hours, from late in the evening until after two in the morning. And remember, Russia only reports the drones it says it stopped. It never tells the world how many were launched or how many got through. Flights at Moscow’s major airports, Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky, were grounded. Russia’s own aviation agency says planes can only come and go with special permission. Emergency crews were sent out to the places where drone wreckage came down. And it wasn’t only Moscow. Fires are being reported at the oil refinery in Volgograd and at a production facility in Rostov-on-Don. In the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, an oil depot was damaged. This is not one lucky night. For weeks now, Moscow’s airports have been shut down again and again. In the first two weeks of October alone, they were closed for more than a hundred hours, more than double the whole month of September. I want to be very clear about something. War is horrific. I take no joy in anyone’s suffering. The Russian people are not my enemy. Putin’s government is. For years, Putin has sat comfortably in Moscow while he sends missiles and drones into Ukrainian homes, hospitals and schools night after night. Ukraine is hitting the oil money and the war machine that keep this war going. Tonight, the war came back to the place it is being run from. Nearly five years ago, the whole world said Ukraine would fall in three days. Tonight, Ukraine grounded flights over Moscow. That is what courage looks like. That is the spirit of the Ukrainian people. But I would not be honest with you if I stopped there. We all know how Putin answers. He answers by going after Ukraine’s power, heat and water, and he goes after civilians. Winter is already here for many families in Ukraine. The danger for them is not over tonight. It may be getting worse. That’s why Oleksandr is out there every single day, nonstop, getting help to the people who need it most.
