Humiliated Putin's propaganda machine IMPLODES as Russia reels over Ukraine drone blitz

A raging Vladimir Putin is now said to be preparing for a terrifying revenge attack after Kyiv damaged some 40 Russian aircraft in a humiliating blow.

Just hours after Kyiv's audacious mass drone strike, Moscow launched, Russia launched a wave of retaliatory strikes overnight.

The deadly strikes overnight killed five in Zaporizhzhia, injured six in Sumy, and several more in the northeastern region of Kharkiv, according to Ukrainian authorities.

It comes as Russian and Ukrainian delegations are set to meet today in Istanbul for a second round of peace talks.

Russian propagandists and national media are now arguing for a tactical nuclear response to Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb.

Some are even calling for the deployment of devastating Russian Oreshnik missiles.
