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. This is a rapidly developing story. #Russia #DroneAttack #UkraineWar #Moscow #PulkovoAirport #Volgograd #RailDisruption #Airstrike #Kaluga #Bryansk #Kyiv #StPetersburg #DroneWarfare #RussiaUkraineConflict #99Drones #RussiaStrikes #BreakingNews #DroneInterception #Putin #UkraineResponse

Russia’s REVENGE Move: Ukraine’s 'LELEKA' Drone Captured, Zelensky’s ‘Drone Secrets’in Russian Hands

Russian forces have reportedly captured an intact Ukrainian ‘Leleka’ drone in Zaporizhzhya after forcing it to land with electronic warfare systems. The drone, a critical part of Ukraine’s UAV and electronic warfare arsenal, may now be dissected by Russia to gain strategic advantages. Meanwhile, Ukraine accuses Moscow of abducting children from occupied territories, indoctrinating them, and forcing them to fight against their homeland. As tensions escalate, the U.S. slammed China at the UN for allegedly aiding Russia, sparking another diplomatic clash. Peace remains distant as the war grinds on. #RussiaUkraineWar #LelekaDrone #Ukraine #Russia #DroneWarfare #ElectronicWarfare #WarNews #Zaporizhzhya #UAV #Kyiv #Moscow #ChildSoldiers #WarCrimes #UN #China #USChinaTensions #Geopolitics #BattlefieldTech #UkraineConflict #CapturedDrone #MilitaryIntel #DroneCapture #UkraineWarUpdate #RussiaVsUkraine #Frontline #RussiaAccused #Zelensky #AndriyYermak #RussiaChinaAlliance #GlobalConflict #PeaceDealNow Also Read India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc Can You Hit Moscow?

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects…

In a bombshell claim, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is going to happen,” despite the Kremlin drawing a red line. Russia insists such a summit should only occur to finalize a peace deal — not as part of ongoing negotiations. Trump, who has taken a hard stance on pushing peace since taking office in January, recently threatened 100% secondary tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no resolution is reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, Moscow demands Ukraine lift martial law, recognize territorial losses, and hold overdue elections. The Kremlin remains skeptical about Zelensky’s legitimacy post his expired term. While Kyiv has repeatedly pushed for a summit, Moscow says a meeting is only possible once substantial progress has been made. As tensions rise, Trump’s bold assertion adds drama to the already fragile diplomatic theatre unfolding between Russia and Ukraine. #Trump #PutinZelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #ZelenskyPutinMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpPeaceDeal #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #MartialLaw #UkraineElections #TrumpTariffs #PeaceTalks #KremlinRejects #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineSummit #TrumpThreat #ZelenskyLegitimacy #UkraineRussiaTensions #WorldNews

Zelensky Fails As Kremlin Rejects One-On-One Meeting With Putin | Trump’s Sanction Deadline Nears

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline. While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast. #ZelenskyPutin #UkraineRussia #Kremlin #Putin #Zelensky #TrumpSanctions #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #USRussia #UkraineCrisis #TrumpPutin #RussiaSanctions #KremlinStatement #DiplomaticDeadlock #BreakingNews #UkraineNews #EasternEurope #RussiaVsUkraine #Geopolitics #TrumpUltimatum ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~
