NATO scrambled warplanes on Ukraine’s border overnight amid huge Russian strikes on multiple cities.
Drones and missiles were launched at Kyiv as Russia’s Tu-22M3 strategic bombers were unleashed to rain hell on the infamous Snake Island in the Black Sea.
Moscow launched a massive strike on Rivne using its Tu-22M3 and Tu-95MS strategic bombers to hit Dubny airbase.
The planes were destroyed last week in Kyiv’s daring Operation Spiderweb.
Another key Ukrainian military airport – Hostomel – was also attacked as Putin sought revenge for the humiliating attack.
Polish armed forces command said Nato fighter jets were patrolling due to “intensive air attack by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory”.
A statement said: “The operational commander of the armed forces launched all available forces and resources at his disposal.
“The on-duty fighter pairs were scrambled, and the ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems reached the highest state of readiness.”
Such measures were “preventive in nature” and were “undertaken in order to ensure security and monitor the situation near the borders of the Republic of Poland.”
