Massive drone attack on Russia’s Volgograd Region, US weapons supplies to continue, says NATO chief

Air defenses are repelling a massive drone attack on Russia’s southern Volgograd region, Governor Andrey Bocharov said.

"The Defense Ministry's air defenses are repelling a massive drone attack on the Volgograd Region," the governor’s press service quoted him as saying.

According to Bocharov, falling drone debris caused the roof of a hospital to catch fire; there were no casualties.

  US weapons supplies to Ukraine will continue, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told Fox News.

"The good news is that President Trump has now negotiated through me with the European partners in NATO that NATO partners in Europe are paying for the delivery of American weapons. So this is good news for the American middle class, but also good news for Ukraine, because it means that the flow of lethal weapons from the US is, as we speak, continuing into Ukraine," he said.
