Russia launched one of its most intense attacks of the year on Ukraine overnight, deploying 598 drones and 31 missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
The strikes hit several targets, including the EU mission and British Council offices in Kyiv, though no EU or UK casualties were reported.
The scale of the assault underscores the growing threat to stability, with US envoy on Ukraine Keith Kellogg warning that such Russian actions undermine peace efforts currently being led by President Trump.
Putin’s feelings on Ukraine are not warm, but last week, Putin said:
- There is a light in the end of the tunnel in Russia-US relations.
- Contacts continue after Alaska Summit
- Hopes that the first steps are the start to the full scale restoration of relations; this still depends on the West
- Is sure Trump’s leadership qualities will help restore ties.
The comments came shortly after Trump noted that President Vladimir Putin “may be coming” to the World Cup and expressed displeasure over the recent strike (by Ukraine) on a Russian pipeline.
