Russia unleashed its most massive combined missile and drone assault on Kyiv on May 24, 2026, deploying hypersonic Oreshnik IRBMs, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and hundreds of drones in a deliberate saturation attack that killed at least one person and injured 20 others. The escalating use of unstoppable hypersonic weapons and the collapse of ceasefire diplomacy reflects the kind of 'wars and rumours of wars' Jesus warned would mark the approach of the end of the age. Scripture speaks of a time when nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, with peace removed from the earth — patterns increasingly visible in the protracted and escalating conflict in Europe.
