Russia launches biggest drone barrage of the Ukraine war, Kyiv says

Yahooa day ago

Nearly 500 drones and 20 missiles of various types were launched by Russia at Ukraine overnight, marking the biggest barrage of the war, Kyiv said.
On Monday, Ukraine's air force said its air defenses were able to destroy 277 of the 479 drones launched in the darkness and 19 missiles mid-flight. Kyiv claims only 10 drones of missiles hit their target and just one person was injured.
The bombardment targeted mainly central and western areas of Ukraine, they said.
Russia's aerial attacks usually start late in the evening and end in the morning, as drones are harder to spot in the dark.

Despite the attack, the Kremlin said on Monday that Russia was still ready to honor agreements with Ukraine on a new prisoner of war exchange and on the repatriation of dead soldiers, despite what it said was Kyiv's failure to so far honor its side of the bargain.

"We have seen and heard a hundred different excuses, justifications and so on, but it is difficult to view them as credible," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Reuters. "The Russian side remains ready to implement the agreements reached in Istanbul."
The exchanges were agreed to during a second round of direct peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 and are meant to see a new prisoner of war swap of at least 1,200 people – focusing on the youngest and most severely wounded – as well as the repatriation of thousands of bodies of those killed in the war.
The return of prisoners of war and the return of the bodies of the dead is one of the few things the two sides have been able to agree on, even as their broader negotiations have failed to get close to ending the war, now in its fourth year.

Terry Moran Won't Return To ABC News After Stephen Miller 'Hater' Post

Terry Moran, senior national correspondent for ABC News, will not return to his position there after he referred to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as a 'world-class hater.' 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew,' a spokesperson for ABC News said in a statement to HuffPost on Tuesday. 'At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.' News of the ouster comes after ABC News suspended Moran, who has been with the news network since 2018, on Sunday after he wrote on social media that Miller and President Donald Trump are both a 'world-class hater.' 'The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,' Moran wrote early Sunday morning in the since-deleted post. 'Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment.' After Moran's post, several top White House officials called for ABC News to do something, including Vice President JD Vance, who called Moran's post an 'absolutely vile smear' of Miller. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News that the White House reached out to ABC News regarding Moran's post, adding that ABC News would 'have to answer' for it. Moran has yet to make a statement. Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, wrote on social media 'Talk shit, get hit' in response to the news of Moran not returning to ABC News. This isn't the first time ABC News has seemingly caved to the administration's demands. In December, the news network agreed to donate $15 million to Trump's presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit against anchor George Stephanopoulos' after he inaccurately said on-air assertion that Trump had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse. Social Media Reacts To Terry Moran's Suspension Over 'Hater' Post ABC News Suspends Terry Moran Over 'Hater' Social Media Post

Bolsonaro denies orchestrating Brazil coup in Supreme Court testimony

BRASILIA (Reuters) -Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro denied that he led an attempt to overthrow the government after losing the 2022 election during his trial before the country's Supreme Court on Tuesday, but acknowledged taking part in meetings aimed at reversing the outcome. Bolsonaro said he and senior aides discussed alternatives to accepting the electoral results, including the possibility of deploying military forces and suspending some civil liberties, but he said those proposals were soon dropped. "The feeling was that there was nothing else we could do. We had to swallow the election results," the ex-president said. "I never acted against the Constitution," Bolsonaro added, holding a copy of the country's 1988 charter that re-established democracy after two decades of military rule. In March, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case against Bolsonaro and seven other people, including several military officers, who were charged with plotting a coup to stop Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in January 2023. The charges stem from a two-year police investigation into the election-denying movement that culminated in riots by Bolsonaro supporters in the capital in early 2023, a week after Lula took office. Bolsonaro, who was the sixth defendant to testify in the case, spent several minutes of his two hours of testimony defending his administration's achievements and his criticism of the country's electoral system. Dozens of witnesses were previously heard by the court, an indication that the case is moving swiftly and could be concluded by the end of the year, avoiding overlap with campaigning for the 2026 presidential election. Bolsonaro has insisted he will run in that campaign, despite an electoral court decision barring him from seeking public office until 2030. On Monday, Bolsonaro attended the trial to watch testimony from Mauro Cid, his former aide turned whistleblower, and then shook his hand. Cid told the court that the former president reviewed a draft decree that was central to the coup plot and made changes, while keeping a section that ordered the arrest of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is now overseeing the case against Bolsonaro and his allies. On Tuesday, the former president said he only briefly saw the draft decree and never edited it. He also apologized for making unfounded corruption allegations about Supreme Court justices. "Forgive me," he told Moraes. A final ruling on Bolsonaro's case is expected by October.

Welcome to the Fox News Politics newsletter, with the latest updates on the Trump administration, Capitol Hill and more Fox News politics content. Here's what's happening… Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was brutally mocked by critics over a "delusional" X post describing the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles as "peaceful demonstrations" while pinning blame on President Donald Trump for sowing "chaos" in southern California.
