Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit was found dead in Moscow just hours after being sacked by President Vladimir Putin. Authorities say the 51-year-old died of a gunshot wound in his car, with suicide suspected. Starovoit’s abrupt dismissal follows mounting pressure over corruption probes and border failures in Kursk during his earlier governorship. Kremlin critics question whether political purging played a role. His death adds to the growing list of mysterious ends among Putin’s inner circle.

Panic and paralysis gripped St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport as a massive drone threat grounded flights and triggered Russia’s largest aviation disruption this year. Over 7,000 passengers were stranded after Moscow shut down the skies over northern Russia in response to what officials described as a coordinated Ukrainian drone assault.
The result: more than 100 delayed flights, 30 canceled, and a bizarre traffic jam of planes unable to take off or land. Social media was flooded with footage showing anxious travelers, packed terminals, and idle aircraft lining the tarmac. The Kremlin has not confirmed whether any drones were intercepted or hit specific targets, but the lockdown has added pressure on Russia’s internal defense systems. The incident raises serious questions about the vulnerability of key infrastructure even far from the front lines, and could mark a turning point in Ukraine’s drone warfare strategy deep into Russian airspace.

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

Russia has revealed that Washington has “postponed” a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The “irritant removal” dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

Russia has launched over 100 drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight assault across Ukraine — striking major cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and more. At least 12 people were killed, including civilians in Sumy, Odesa, and Kherson, and 69 others injured, with three children among the wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that over 1,200 drones have been fired at Ukraine in the past 7 days, calling on international partners to urgently deliver air defense systems. Russian drones also targeted recruitment centers in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 75 drones using advanced electronic warfare.
This marks the deadliest barrage since Friday’s mega strike of over 530 drones. Is the war entering a more brutal phase? Will Ukraine’s allies respond fast enough?

On July 6, Russian forces launched a calculated drone strike on a military enlistment and recruitment office in Kremenchuk, located in Ukraine's Poltava region. This attack came just hours after Russia conducted one of its largest aerial assaults on Ukraine, involving 157 drones and four S-300 missiles that targeted key regions including Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kyiv, causing significant damage and casualties.
Ukraine's Ground Forces have confirmed that the UAV strike in Kremenchuk hit the recruitment center and also damaged a nearby residential building. While no casualties were reported among military staff or civilians at the enlistment facility, the attack caused a fire at a private property and forced the closure of a major road in the city's central district, disrupting civilian life.
This military escalation occurs amidst a complex geopolitical backdrop. A recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump failed to secure a ceasefire. Reports suggest that Putin, believing he has the upper hand in the conflict, is unwilling to halt the offensive and "throw away his lead."
With the date for any further peace talks still undecided, Russia continues its relentless campaign, pounding Ukrainian cities with a massive barrage of missiles and drones. This latest attack on a recruitment center signals a strategic shift to Cripple Ukraine's ability to reinforce its front lines. Stay tuned to Oneindia News for the latest updates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia. Is Washington finally rethinking its blind support for Kiev?

Deadly Ukrainian strikes have rocked Russia’s Borisoglebsk airfield, where fighter jets were stationed for frontline operations. At least 10 massive blasts tore through the facility, igniting fuel depots and damaging aircraft shelters. Local officials scrambled to contain the fires as Kyiv hailed the attack as retaliation for recent missile barrages. Russian media reported panic among personnel and heavy losses on the ground.

The Indo-Russian joint venture to manufacture Kamov helicopters in India is facing significant delays due to the Ukraine war, Western sanctions, and supply chain.. IndiaTimes
In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it “fake news.” Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. “This was standard policy — not specific to Ukraine,” she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administration’s top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administration’s efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage.
