In a significant escalation of Russia's military operations in Ukraine, Russian forces have deployed thermobaric weapons, including the TOS-1A Solntsepyok and aerial thermobaric bombs, to target and obliterate Ukrainian defensive positions in the Donetsk region.
The Russian Ministry of Defense released footage showcasing the devastating power of these weapons, which unleash massive explosions capable of destroying fortified structures.
The TOS-1A, a ground-based rocket system, was used to launch a series of strikes against Ukrainian defenses, causing widespread destruction.
The upgraded version, the TOS-2 Tosochka, offers enhanced capabilities, including advanced rockets and mobility.
Alongside these, Russia's use of thermobaric aerial bombs has proven equally destructive, further intensifying the pressure on Ukrainian forces.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a fiery statement after one of the largest Russian strikes on Kyiv, which killed at least 19 people, including four children. Nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles, among them ballistic, rained down on the capital, leaving devastation in their wake. Zelensky said the assault proves Russia has no intention of peace, accusing Vladimir Putin of striking not only Ukraine but also Europe, the U.S., and even President Trump. He warned that Putin is killing children rather than pursuing negotiations, breaking promises to leaders while escalating attacks. Calling for urgent global action, Zelensky urged for sanctions and tariffs against those financing Moscow’s war. “There are no deadlines Putin will not break,” he said, pressing the world to deliver a strong response to Russian aggression.

NATO Chief Mark Rutte, has delivered a stark warning to the West after Russia’s latest deadly strikes on Kiev. Speaking in Brussels, Rutte declared: “We cannot be naive about Russia,” emphasizing that Moscow remains an existential threat to European security. His words come as Ukrainian officials report heavy damage from missile and drone barrages across the capital, killing civilians and crippling infrastructure. Rutte, set to take over NATO leadership, is pushing allies to maintain unity and step up military support for Ukraine, warning that hesitation only strengthens the Kremlin. The statement signals a hardening Western stance amid growing concerns that Russia is expanding its long war strategy while testing NATO’s resolve. With Ukraine’s battlefield struggles and internal political rifts in Europe and the US, Rutte’s message is clear: NATO cannot afford illusions when facing Moscow’s aggression.

Russia has escalated tensions by bombing the Turkish-built Bayraktar drone factory in Kyiv, dragging NATO-member Turkey deeper into the Ukraine war. Two missiles struck the nearly completed facility, causing severe damage, according to Kyiv city council member Igor Zinkevich. The Baykar factory was designed to produce Bayraktar combat drones, widely used by Ukraine against Russian forces. Despite earlier strikes, Baykar had invested millions and trained staff for production. Moscow’s attack underscores its strategy to Cripple Ukraine’s drone industry as the war intensifies.

Russian troops have reportedly stormed into Chasiv Yar after a grueling 16-month standoff, raising their flags over key positions in the strategically vital Ukrainian town. While Kremlin sources claim a breakthrough, Kyiv has denied the fall, stating that fierce resistance continues and the situation remains “fluid.” This town is critical for access to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk—major Ukrainian strongholds in Donetsk.

A Russian 500-kg aerial bomb reduced a bustling shopping center in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast to rubble, killing two and injuring at least 28 on July 16. The heart of Dobropillia city was targeted in a broad daylight strike that left more than 54 shops destroyed, over 300 apartments damaged, and multiple cars obliterated. A massive fire erupted after the impact, prompting an urgent response from emergency crews.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the attack as "horrendous, dumb Russian terror" devoid of military rationale. This violent escalation comes just two days after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 50-day ultimatum, warning of severe tariffs on Russia unless a peace deal is reached. Despite repeated warnings, Russia continues its brutal offensive with impunity. The civilian toll rises, as Ukraine's east remains under siege in the face of international deadlines and unrelenting destruction.
