The drone swarm is the latest in a renewed Russian air campaign launched 10 days ago

Russia’s military hit Ukrainian cities with its largest drone swarm attack in months on Monday, just a day before Victory Day, a celebration of the Soviet triumph over Nazi Germany in 1945 and the most important day in the Russian calendar under President Vladimir Putin.

The drone swarm is the latest in a renewed Russian air campaign launched 10 days ago.

According to mayor Vitali Klitschko, Russia fired 60 Iranian-made Kamikaze drones at targets in Ukraine.

Thirty-six targeted the capital, all of which were shot down, he said.

“Right now we are in the apartment of one of the buildings. Today was a one of a massive attack at our hometown. Five people were injured, two people right now are in the hospitals. But nobody died which is very important.”

In Bakhmut, the Ukrainian government says Russian forces appear to be making a final push, hoping to capture it ahead of the May 9 holiday and deliver the only prize for Putin in a costly winter offensive.

The battle for the besieged city has been one of the bloodiest of the 14-month war.

As the wounded are taken from the frontlines, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky further cemented Ukraine’s break with its Soviet past.

Speaking to the nation on a hill overlooking Kyiv, Zelensky said “the old evil” had returned, this time waged by a “modern Russia.”

Zelenskiy said he had submitted a bill to parliament officially making May 8 a day of remembrance and victory, while May 9 – Russia’s Victory Day – would become Europe Day.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
