Ukraine’s daring long-range drone offensive—code-named “Operation Spiderweb”—has reportedly devastated key Russian airbases deep inside Siberia, with newly released satellite images confirming significant damage.
The attack, likened by pro-Kremlin voices to Pearl Harbor, targeted at least four military installations, including the Belaya air base in Irkutsk Oblast, more than 2,500 miles from Ukraine’s border.
High-resolution imagery from Umbra Space reveals the destruction of at least three Tu-95MS strategic bombers and one Tu-22M3, with additional aircraft reportedly damaged.
Ukrainian intelligence claims the coordinated drone strikes disabled 34% of Russia’s cruise missile bomber fleet, inflicting an estimated $7 billion in damage.

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

Ukraine launched a dramatic long-range drone strike deep into Russian territory, targeting multiple airbases in a surprise special operation. At least 40 Russian aircraft, including strategic bombers and an advanced A-50 surveillance plane, were destroyed. The attack struck the Irkutsk region's Sridni village—marking the first such strike in Siberia. Conducted under operation "Pavutyna" or "Web," the offensive aims to degrade Russia's long-range strike capacity. The attack coincides with fresh peace talks scheduled in Istanbul, where Kyiv will push for a full ceasefire, prisoner release, and return of abducted children.

In its most daring drone offensive yet, Ukraine struck deep inside Russia on Sunday, targeting a military base in Siberia’s Irkutsk region and reportedly destroying over 40 aircraft, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3 bombers and an A-50 surveillance plane. The drone attack, confirmed by Russian officials, marks the first Ukrainian strike in Siberia.

In a covert operation dubbed “Spider’s Web,” Ukraine deployed 117 drones from hidden mobile sheds to strike deep inside Russian territory. Launching from disguised roofs near key airfields, the drones evaded detection and hit four major Russian airbases, damaging or destroying 41 warplanes and causing an estimated $7 billion in losses. The daring mission, 18 months in planning, marks Ukraine’s deepest drone attack—reaching 4,000 km into Russia. Even bombers at Belaya Air Base near the FSB office were caught ablaze in videos released after the strike.

Is Melania Trump the reason behind Donald Trump’s sudden change of tone on Vladimir Putin? In a dramatic shift, Trump—long seen as soft on Russia—has publicly expressed disappointment with Putin’s actions in Ukraine, signaling a major break from his previous stance.
Sources suggest Melania played a key role in urging Trump to reconsider his position, following mounting global outrage over Russia’s continued bombings and civilian casualties.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

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.
