Rishi Sunak described Russia’s attack against Ukraine over the festive period as ‘barbaric’

Vladimir Putin’s aerial bombardment has been halted as Ukraine boasts about destroying Russia’s warcraft.

The Kremlin unleashed a brutal barrage of £8million missiles and kamikaze drones on two cities in the ex-Soviet state.

Putin’s so-called New Year “revenge” blitzkrieg is estimated to have cost around half-a-billion pounds so far.

Ukraine confirmed at least five people were killed and 135 injured in the assaults against Kyiv and Kharkiv.

However, all 10 of the Russian Kinzhal missiles were shot down.

Putin previously lauded the missiles as unstoppable as they can fly at 10 times the speed of sound.

Ukrainian army’s commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny said: “Today, the Ukrainian air force downed 10 out of 10 Russian ‘Kinzhal’… aeroballistic missiles with the help of the Patriot AD system.

“This is a record. If the missiles hit their targets, the consequences would be catastrophic.”

He added: “There is no reason to believe that the enemy will stop here. Therefore, we need more systems and munition for them.”
