Kyiv was left smoldering after an unprecedented overnight assault by Russian forces involving 11 missiles and a record 550 drones. Despite Ukraine’s air defenses, 72 drones penetrated the city, causing widespread destruction, fires, and chaos. At least 23 people were injured and one woman killed near the border in a related attack. The relentless bombardment lasted over eight hours, shattering hopes for a ceasefire following a tense phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump. Ukrainian leaders condemn the strikes as some of the worst since the war began, while warning that halted U.S. weapon shipments could severely impact Ukraine’s defense capabilities. Firefighters continue to battle massive blazes across the capital as the conflict escalates.

Russia Bombards Kiev Overnight: Kiev was rocked by a wave of explosions early Friday morning as Ukrainian officials reported a massive overnight barrage of Russian missiles and drones. At least 13 impacts were recorded across the capital, with multiple fires lighting up the skyline in dramatic fashion. Blurred footage circulating on Ukrainian social media shows the chaos as civilians sheltered from the blasts.
Ukrainian authorities claim the strikes targeted non-residential areas, but falling debris injured over a dozen people and caused fires in residential neighborhoods. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet issued a statement. The attacks came just hours after a reported phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, in which Trump urged Moscow to halt the fighting.

In a stunning development, the U.S. has halted a critical weapons shipment to Ukraine that had already been staged in Poland, according to a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. The cache includes over two dozen PAC-3 Patriot missiles, more than two dozen Stinger air-defense systems, Hellfire missiles, and 90+ AIM air-to-air missiles designated for Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets. U.S. administration and congressional officials reportedly confirmed the freeze, which aligns with the ongoing strategic review under the “America First” doctrine. The move comes amid rising Ukrainian frustration, with officials accusing Washington of endangering their defense readiness. The freeze has triggered intense geopolitical anxiety, with Kyiv urging clarity while Moscow eyes an advantage.

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy. Is Washington walking away from Kyiv?
