Russia claims to have destroyed a MiG-29 fighter jet at Dolgintsovo airfield in Donetsk, Ukraine, using an Iskander missile.
Drone footage allegedly shows the strike's impact.
This attack is part of a series targeting Ukrainian airfields, including earlier strikes in Poltava that reportedly damaged SU-27 jets and an MI-24 helicopter.
Russia says the explosions also destroyed nearby weapons and vehicles.
While Russia provides video evidence, independent confirmation is pending.
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.

Russia’s massive overnight assault on Ukraine involved 14 ballistic missiles—including the newly upgraded Iskander—9 cruise missiles, and over 350 drones, killing at least 12. Video released by Russian media shows the Iskander missile successfully outsmarting U.S. Patriot defense systems. The upgraded missile now uses quasi-ballistic trajectories, radar decoys, and terminal evasive maneuvers, making it significantly harder to detect, track, and intercept. These technological upgrades allow the Iskander to bypass advanced missile defense systems by altering its flight path mid-air and confusing radar systems with false signatures. This development marks a significant shift in the ongoing military-tech faceoff, raising alarms about the limits of existing air defense networks.

Russia has launched its largest wave of strikes on Ukraine since the full-scale war began, killing at least 12 and injuring dozens more. Attacks spanned from Chernihiv to Odesa, involving over 350 drones, 14 ballistic missiles, and 9 cruise missiles. Video evidence confirms the use of upgraded Iskander ballistic missiles, reportedly evading U.S. Patriot defense systems. President Zelensky condemned Russia’s "total impunity," calling for tougher international sanctions and forceful responses. Meanwhile, Donald Trump slammed Putin as "crazy" but also criticized Zelensky, escalating tensions further. The strikes hit just as Russia and Ukraine were finalizing a major prisoner swap, threatening to derail already frozen peace talks.

The strike targeted a facility housing both troops and instructors, leading to significant casualties, including 20 military instructors. The explosion, caught on video, shows the massive destruction wrought on the camp, as tensions escalate in the border areas between Ukraine and Russia.

Russia accuses Ukraine of chemical warfare after claiming to uncover drone bombs containing chloropicrin, a banned toxic agent, in Donetsk. Russian authorities say the devices, intended for UAV deployment, were found in a Ukrainian weapons cache and filed WMD-related charges. If verified, this would mark a dangerous escalation in the war. Ukraine has not responded to the allegation. Global watchdogs may now face pressure to investigate the use of banned chemical agents in the conflict.

A day after massive Russian strikes, Moscow now accuses Ukraine of sabotaging its own forces. Russian expert Andrey Marochko claims Kyiv lost nearly 4,000 troops in Lugansk alone within a week, including foreign fighters. Ukraine’s counteroffensives reportedly failed to stop Russian advances in Kharkov, Donetsk, and Lugansk. Russia maintains the initiative, launching precision strikes and accusing Ukraine of wasting troops and equipment. As Ukraine struggles to hold its defensive lines, Russia insists its objectives under the "special military operation" are steadily being fulfilled.

Russia has reportedly entered Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, expanding its war zone beyond Donetsk. While Kyiv dismisses the claim as propaganda, military analysts confirm geolocation evidence of Russian advances. The strategic push threatens to encircle Pokrovsk and compromise Ukrainian defenses. This penetration, though limited, could escalate the war and shift negotiations. Western experts warn of summer offensives as Russia aims to isolate key cities and tighten its grip on southeastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military holds firm, but the situation on the Dnipro front grows increasingly tense.
