I never once remember a protest against Joe Biden like this. This is Boston. No Kings Protest.
Oh that’s right Joe Biden didn’t think he was a king. He just wanted to make America better for everyone.

President Zelenskyy:
"From intelligence reports and individuals within Putin's inner circle, we know that in early September Putin declared: 'From now on, there are no rules.' The Russians failed to occupy us, so now they are resorting to massive strikes and mass killings. Naturally, they want to destroy our bridges and, as we understand, our data centers, internet infrastructure, mobile networks, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, universities — everything. They want people to flee their cities, and we must do everything in our power to save our people and our cities."

❗️Ukraine plans to deploy its own missile defense system FREYJA as early as December, Zelenskyy said.
▪️Russia currently produces about 140 ballistic missiles per month. To guarantee the destruction of that number, NATO rules require twice as many interceptors — 280 missiles;
▪️At the same time, even obtaining 100 missiles per month remains an extremely difficult task;
▪️Ukraine aims to receive 100–120 Patriot missiles per month during the coldest months from U.S. stocks and production, from European countries, and from partners in the Middle East;
▪️In parallel, Ukraine, together with companies from ten countries, is developing its own missile defense system FREYJA;
▪️The main parts of this system are the launcher and the missile. We have them. This is Ukrainian production.

BREAKING: 2800km from the frontline, deepest Ukrainian drone attack during the war is currently underway.
Russians report that Ukrainian drones are attacking Novy Urengoy in Russia’s Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug for the first time since the start of the war, around 2,800 from the Ukrainian border.
A likely target is Gazprom’s Novy Urengoy condensate processing facility, one of the key industrial sites in the heart of Russia’s gas industry. Gazprom says the plant can process 19.5 million tonnes of raw material per year and handles gas condensate from major fields across the Yamal region.
