Ukraine’s BIGGEST Attack On Russia? Nearly 100 Drones Cripple Airports And Railways Across Russia
In one of the largest overnight drone barrages, Russia claims its air defense forces intercepted 99 drones targeting key cities and infrastructure across western Russia.
Airports in St.
Petersburg, Kaluga, and Volgograd were paralyzed, with 70+ flights delayed.
Train services in Volgograd faced hours-long halts after drone debris damaged railway power lines.
Debris fell in residential and industrial areas, reportedly injuring at least one person in Leningrad Oblast.
The Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of orchestrating the strikes, with Kyiv yet to issue a statement.
Targeted regions included Bryansk, Smolensk, Kaluga, Volgograd, Rostov, and even occupied Crimea and Moscow.
While Russia continues its aggressive strikes on Ukraine, this retaliation suggests an expanding and unpredictable aerial conflict zone.
The Kyiv Independent couldn’t verify the claims independently.

European leaders issued a statement after being debriefed by US President Donald Trump on his meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. They said they are ready to work towards a trilateral meeting, insisting on "ironclad security guarantees" for Ukraine.

Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive two‑day escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central Asia–Center gas pipeline in Volgograd—vital for Russia’s military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across borders—bringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights.

On Russia’s Navy Day, Ukrainian drones rained over St. Petersburg, forcing the cancellation of a key naval parade and halting flights at Pulkovo Airport. Russia’s Defense Ministry claims it downed 291 drones. Meanwhile, Moscow retaliated with strikes on Kyiv, wounding civilians and damaging homes. In Sumy, a Russian drone hit a civilian bus, killing 3. As the war enters its 1250th day, tensions rise beyond the battlefield, with EU leaders urging Zelensky to preserve anti-corruption reforms and Austria signaling interest in joining NATO.

Panic and paralysis gripped St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport as a massive drone threat grounded flights and triggered Russia’s largest aviation disruption this year. Over 7,000 passengers were stranded after Moscow shut down the skies over northern Russia in response to what officials described as a coordinated Ukrainian drone assault.
The result: more than 100 delayed flights, 30 canceled, and a bizarre traffic jam of planes unable to take off or land. Social media was flooded with footage showing anxious travelers, packed terminals, and idle aircraft lining the tarmac. The Kremlin has not confirmed whether any drones were intercepted or hit specific targets, but the lockdown has added pressure on Russia’s internal defense systems. The incident raises serious questions about the vulnerability of key infrastructure even far from the front lines, and could mark a turning point in Ukraine’s drone warfare strategy deep into Russian airspace.

Just hours before his highly anticipated face-to-face with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, President Donald Trump has set off a political firestorm with one of his most explosive statements yet on the Ukraine war. Hinting at a major policy shift, Trump’s remarks are fueling speculation that he may be ready to scale back U.S. support for Kyiv — a move critics say could hand Moscow a strategic victory and leave Ukraine out in the cold. The timing, so close to the summit, has only amplified the shockwaves rippling through Washington, Kyiv, and global diplomatic circles.

Ukraine has launched a dramatic strike just hours before the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces reportedly blew up a Russian ship docked at Port Olya, allegedly carrying Iranian-made drone parts. The move is being seen as a bold sabotage attempt aimed at derailing peace talks, escalating tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, and sending a defiant message ahead of the much-anticipated face-off between the U.S. and Russian leaders.

Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a Ukrainian drone slammed into a civilian vehicle in the heart of Belgorod, Russia, unleashing a fiery blast that left three people wounded. Among the victims, one man is reported to be in serious condition. The attack occurred in broad daylight at a busy city intersection, sending pedestrians and drivers scrambling for safety.
Local authorities say the strike was part of escalating cross-border drone assaults targeting Russia’s Belgorod region in recent months. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor, confirmed the injuries and released the harrowing footage, which quickly went viral. The dramatic clip shows the drone swooping down before detonating on impact, obliterating the vehicle in an instant. Officials have condemned the attack as an act of terrorism against civilians, while Kyiv has yet to comment. The strike underscores the growing reach of Ukrainian drone operations deep into Russian territory.

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership.
Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law.

During the live coverage of the historic Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska, a heated debate broke out between Burzine Waghmar SOAS, University of London, and journalist Nagen Singh of OneIndia News. Waghmar argued that Russia’s economy is overheated and claimed Putin cannot sustain the Ukraine war beyond a year. He also questioned India’s obsession with Moscow and the romanticization of Indo-Russian ties. Countering him, Singh accused the West of hypocrisy and blamed the UK and U.S. for India’s deep-rooted closeness with Russia.

As Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, Americans remain deeply divided over the high-stakes summit. Critics are denouncing the meeting as a “travesty” and a potential act of betrayal, warning it could undermine U.S. interests and embolden Moscow. Supporters, however, see the gathering as a historic opportunity for Trump to broker a path toward “world peace,” arguing that direct dialogue could end dangerous escalations.
The Alaska meeting, set against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and tense U.S.-Russia relations, is drawing intense media coverage and heated public debate. While some fear Trump will concede too much to Putin, others believe he is uniquely capable of negotiating a breakthrough. With speculation running high, all eyes now turn to Anchorage, where the outcome could redefine America’s role on the global stage.
