Ukraine’s Independence Day Attack On Russia: Drone Strike Causes Nuclear Leak In Russia? Kursk Hit

Ukraine marked its Independence Day with a wave of bold drone strikes deep inside Russian territory, sparking massive fires at an oil refinery and a gas terminal in Ust-Luga.

One drone even hit the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, triggering a blaze though no radiation leak was reported.

The strikes came just days after Russia dismissed U.S.-brokered peace efforts between Putin and Zelensky, signaling a dramatic escalation in the three-and-a-half-year war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that Ukraine is “not a victim but a fighter,” as Russia pushed on with its own overnight barrage of missiles and Iranian-made Shahed drones.

With tens of thousands dead, millions displaced, and energy infrastructure under siege, the conflict shows no signs of ending.

Ukraine’s drone campaign is not just military—it’s economic warfare, aiming to choke Moscow’s vital fuel revenues that fund the grinding war.

Ukraine's WAR Warning To Belarus As Russia Shows Off Nuclear-Like Oreshnik Missile Near Kyiv Border [Video]

Ukraine's WAR Warning To Belarus As Russia Shows Off Nuclear-Like Oreshnik Missile Near Kyiv Border

Ukraine has issued a stark warning to Belarus amid fears that upcoming Russia-Belarus joint military drills could escalate the war. The Zapad-2025 exercises, set for September, will feature drones, electronic warfare, and Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile—previously compared to a low-yield nuclear strike. Kyiv fears Belarus may provide direct support to Russia, with the border just 100 km away. NATO has responded with 30,000 troops deployed near Poland’s border, while Moscow accuses NATO of using the drills as a pretext for escalation. #UkraineWar #Belarus #Russia #Zapad2025 #MilitaryDrills #NATO #Kyiv #Putin #Lukashenko #OreshnikMissile #NuclearThreat #EasternEurope #UkraineWarning #GlobalSecurity #RussiaBelarus #WarTensions #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineWar #NATOForces #BelarusBorder #WarEscalation #RussiaNATO #EuropeTensions #DefenseNews #UkraineCrisis #BreakingNews #MilitaryAlert #WorldNews #UkraineVsBelarus Also Read Jaishankar Meets Putin in Moscow Amid Global Power Shifts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-holds-meeting-with-russian-president-putin-in-moscow-011-7836759.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Assures That US Troops Will Not Be Deployed to Defend Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-assures-us-troops-wont-defend-ukraine-011-7834921.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH [Video]

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~
