Minister 'not going to speculate' on alleged UK involvement in Ukrainian drone attack
Friday, 6 June 2025 () A government minister has declined to say if the UK was involved in a Ukrainian drone strike after the Russian ambassador partially blamed Britain for the attack.
Following a dramatic drone assault by Ukraine under 'Operation Spider’s Web', Russia has vowed retaliation. President Putin reportedly told Donald Trump in a 75-minute call that a response is inevitable after over 40 Russian bombers were destroyed. The Kremlin later confirmed that the military...
Ukraine’s Air Force confirmed the loss of an F-16 fighter jet and its pilot, Lt. Col. Maksym Ustimenko, during a major Russian airstrike. The jet was downed after intercepting seven Russian aerial threats. Overnight, Russia launched 537 missiles and drones; Ukraine's defense systems shot down 475. Explosions hit Lviv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia, and Cherkasy, damaging homes, colleges, and industrial sites. Meanwhile, Russia claims to have intercepted three Ukrainian drones. As destruction mounts, Putin signals renewed interest in peace talks—though prior rounds have failed to end the conflict since 2022.

Russia has launched its largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began, according to Ukrainian officials. Overnight, a staggering 537 aerial weapons — including 477 drones and decoys, and 60 missiles — were fired at targets across Ukraine.
Ukraine's air force reported that 249 were shot down and 226 were likely disrupted by electronic jamming. Yuriy Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s air force, called the strike “the most massive air attack” yet. Areas far from the frontlines, including western Ukraine, were hit. Poland scrambled jets to protect its airspace. Casualties included one dead in Kherson and six injured in Cherkasy, including a child. This assault follows a wave of similar attacks earlier this month, which had already been labelled the most powerful at that point in the war. Damage was reported in Kharkiv, where multiple residential buildings and houses were struck. The escalation signals a grim turn in the nearly three-year conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

Russia-Ukraine War: In a bold adaptation to drone warfare, Russian stormtroopers are turning to dirt bikes as their assault vehicle of choice, countering Ukrainian drone strikes with speed and agility. Newly released footage from the Russian Defense Ministry shows elite units training on motorcycles for frontline deployment.
The tactic allows squads of two to three soldiers to zip across minefields and no-man's-land with minimal exposure, making it harder for Ukrainian FPV drones to target them. Dirt bikes are increasingly replacing armored vehicles due to high losses and equipment shortages, with models sourced from civilian markets. Specialized motorcycle squads now carry EW gear, stretchers, or sabotage kits, enabling flexible hit-and-run operations.
Yet, the cost is high—casualty rates remain steep, and motorcycles offer no armor. Still, Russia is formalizing this risky strategy in what many call a 'suicide biker doctrine.' As drone warfare intensifies, the dirt bike emerges as an unlikely symbol of Russia's evolving battlefield tactics.
