The Ukraine conflict continues to intensify as a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to bring any diplomatic breakthrough.
Drone Attacks Escalate
Just hours after the call, Russia launched a massive drone strike on Kyiv, injuring 14 people and causing fires across six districts. Falling drone debris set ablaze residential areas and a medical facility in the Holosiivskyi district.
In response, Ukraine launched its own drone attack on Sergiyev Posad, near Moscow, damaging a power substation and injuring one person. The area is home to a key religious site for Russia’s Orthodox Church.

Frontline Developments
Ukraine’s military reported intensifying Russian strikes, including a deadly air raid on Poltava that killed two and injured 47. The attack also damaged a military draft office, which officials believe is part of a Russian strategy to disrupt Ukraine’s recruitment efforts.
Russia also claimed to have captured Milove in Kharkiv, opening a new front along the border. Ukrainian forces have yet to confirm the development.
High-Risk Tactics and Losses
A senior Ukrainian air commander warned that the lack of air defense supplies is forcing Ukraine into high-risk operations. This follows the death of an experienced F-16 pilot in a drone battle.
