Ukraine video shows massive Russian explosions: ‘What the most horrific war of the 21st century looks like’

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense has posted a video Thursday showing the devastating effects of Russian rocket attacks during the war.  

The clip shows aerial views of a series of blasts rocking the Ukrainian countryside, sending shockwaves and plumes of smoke billowing into the sky. 

“This is what largest and most horrific war of the 21st century looks like,” the Ministry of Defense said. “Ukraine is ready to strike back.” 

But in order to do so, the Ministry says it “immediately” needs “NATO-style” multiple launch rocket systems.

The video was shot near Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, which Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army has been focusing on after failing to capture Kyiv. 

Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24 and it has lasted 92 days and counting.
