Ukraine's drone attack in Russia shows Kyiv felt it had nothing to lose
Sunday, 1 June 2025 () An audacious Ukrainian drone attack against multiple airbases across Russia is a humiliating security breach for Vladimir Putin that will doubtless trigger a furious response.
In its most daring drone offensive yet, Ukraine struck deep inside Russia on Sunday, targeting a military base in Siberia’s Irkutsk region and reportedly destroying over 40 aircraft, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3 bombers and an A-50 surveillance plane. The drone attack, confirmed by Russian officials,...
The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a boiling point. Ukrainian drone strikes late Monday knocked out power across multiple Russian regions, with Zaporozhye and Kherson plunging into darkness. Over 104,000 people were left without electricity, and hospitals are relying on backup generators. The strikes came just hours after failed peace talks in Istanbul, with Kyiv rejecting Moscow's demands. As both sides escalate militarily, Ukraine appears undeterred by the threat of a greater Russian offensive. The conflict is entering a critical, unpredictable phase.

In a rare gesture of mutual concession, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to swap 6,000 fallen soldiers—three years into a brutal war that has killed tens of thousands. The body exchange agreement was struck during fragile peace talks in Istanbul that lasted barely an hour, following Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes deep inside Russian territory. Though hailed by Kyiv as a “brilliant operation,” the strikes failed to generate real diplomatic momentum. With air raids escalating and troops drained, both sides remain locked in a grinding deadlock that diplomacy alone seems unable to resolve.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has declared Ukraine's path to NATO membership “irreversible.” But this bold statement comes after months of wavering remarks from both Rutte and other Western leaders, who had earlier ruled out such a move. Critics argue that the alliance’s indecisiveness is dragging the war on, giving mixed signals to both Kyiv and Moscow. As Ukraine fights to survive, NATO's promises remain non-committal, raising questions about whether the “irreversible” path is real or rhetorical. Ukraine’s future hangs between hope and hesitation.

Ukrainian media has released the full text of Ukraine’s proposed peace memorandum to Russia, published in both English and Ukrainian. The key demand: a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. But Moscow has slammed the proposal, dismissing it outright as a “non-starter.” As Kyiv pushes for diplomatic breakthroughs, the Kremlin shows no interest in compromise. This latest move adds fuel to the fire of diplomatic tension, raising questions about the possibility of peace—or whether this memo is just another document destined to be ignored.

Who really wins a war today? It’s no longer just about territory or body counts — modern warfare is about strategy, resilience, tech power, global support, and narrative control. In this explosive breakdown, we dive deep into two of 2025’s biggest conflicts: Russia vs Ukraine – Where Russia may hold land, but Ukraine strikes deep with Operation Spiderweb, destroying bombers in Siberia and rewriting the rules of modern resistance. India vs Pakistan – After the Pahalgam attack, India unleashed Operation Sindoor, targeting key Pakistani airbases with unmatched precision. The result? A short but decisive show of strategic might. From territory loss to defence destruction, global diplomacy to psychological edge — we unpack who lost what, and more importantly, who's actually winning in this new age of warfare.

Russia has used its hypersonic Oreshnik missile for the first time in an attack on Dnipro, Ukraine, striking at unmatched speeds of Mach 10–11. Surveillance footage showed six massive fireballs, and intelligence confirms the missile carried multiple warheads. President Putin touted its capabilities on state TV, warning NATO that the missile can bypass all current defenses and deliver devastation comparable to a nuclear strike—even with conventional payloads. The Pentagon has labeled it experimental, but its battlefield debut is sending shockwaves through Europe and the global defense community.

Ukraine has declared a nationwide air alert after Russian MiG-31K jets—capable of carrying Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles—took off, sparking immediate concern of long-range strikes. The Ukrainian Air Force urged civilians to seek shelter. This comes in retaliation for Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian bomber bases, which destroyed over 40 aircraft. Overnight, Russia launched waves of drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, causing casualties. Failed peace talks in Istanbul and Putin's silence since the air base losses signal deepening conflict and an unpredictable escalation ahead.

Following Ukraine’s Operation ‘Spider’s Web’ that destroyed 40 Russian bombers, Moscow has vowed massive retaliation, with President Putin reportedly ordering the RS-26 Oreshnik hypersonic missiles to be prepared. These nuclear-capable MIRVed weapons can strike deep into Europe and NATO territories. With Germany, the UK, and France backing Ukraine militarily, tensions are at a boiling point. Russia has warned that NATO troop presence in Ukraine would trigger direct escalation. As nuclear threats loom, fears of a global World War III grow more realistic.
