ISW: Ukraine has managed to significantly curtail Russia's activities in the Black Sea
As the end of February also marks the 10th anniversary of Russia’s invasion and the consequent illegal annexation of Crimea, the UK defence ministry says: Russia’s tactics against Ukraine’s creative warfare on the Black Sea are falling short.
At least five people killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine's Donetsk and Kherson regions
Russian military reportedly targeted residential areas and social and key infrastructure in several oblast communities, according to the Ukrainian authorities.

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?

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?

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a professional” who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscow’s resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the bill’s backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a “Russophobe,” while reiterating Russia’s view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

Donald Trump has sparked fresh controversy by claiming the Ukraine-Russia war wouldn’t have happened if Russia remained in the G-8. In a bold statement, Trump called Russia’s removal “a big mistake” and blamed former U.S. President Barack Obama and former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau for pushing Moscow out. He argued that sidelining Russia has only made global diplomacy harder. Trump's remarks reignite debate over Russia’s G-8 expulsion after Crimea’s annexation and its broader impact on global peace and Western alliances.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation.

Ukraine claims responsibility for a massive underwater explosion targeting the Crimea (Kerch) Bridge, using over 1,100 kg of TNT-equivalent explosives. Officials say the blast damaged a key underwater support structure, yet hours later, traffic resumed on the bridge. Built by Russia in 2018, the bridge is vital for military supplies to occupied Crimea. Independent analysts confirmed the blast’s location but questioned its impact. This isn’t the first strike — but was it effective? The bridge reopened shortly after, leaving doubts about the success of Ukraine’s latest attack.
