Russia Defends Sumy Strike: “Targeted Military, Not Civilians”| Ukraine Slams It as ‘Massacre’
Russia defends its missile strike on Sumy, claiming it targeted a tactical army group of Ukrainian forces in the city center.
The Russian Defense Ministry argues that Ukraine uses civilians as human shields, placing military operations in densely populated areas.
Ukraine, however, reports 34 dead and 117 injured, accusing Russia of deliberately striking civilian spaces.
Despite Russia’s claims of hitting a military target, the international community is divided as the devastation in Sumy raises questions about targeting civilians in urban warfare.

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.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence has released footage of a powerful drone strike on a Ukrainian radar installation in the Chernihiv region.

Russia has launched over 100 drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight assault across Ukraine — striking major cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and more. At least 12 people were killed, including civilians in Sumy, Odesa, and Kherson, and 69 others injured, with three children among the wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that over 1,200 drones have been fired at Ukraine in the past 7 days, calling on international partners to urgently deliver air defense systems. Russian drones also targeted recruitment centers in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 75 drones using advanced electronic warfare.
This marks the deadliest barrage since Friday’s mega strike of over 530 drones. Is the war entering a more brutal phase? Will Ukraine’s allies respond fast enough?

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence confirmed the liberation of Zarya in the Donetsk People's Republic as Russian troops raised their flag following intense clashes. Azov fighters were reportedly killed and their equipment seized. Russian Sever, Zapad, and Yug groups inflicted major losses on Ukrainian brigades across multiple regions including Sumy and Kharkov. Ukrainian forces lost hundreds of troops, dozens of vehicles, artillery systems, and electronic warfare assets. The battlefield momentum continues to shift as Russia pushes deeper into strategic positions, intensifying the conflict across eastern Ukraine.

A violent confrontation broke out in Kiev as Ukrainian conscription officers attempted to forcefully recruit a young man on the street. Video shared by RT shows the man escaping a draft van, prompting his family and locals to attack the officers. The brawl escalated into torn uniforms and chaotic resistance. Under martial law, men aged 18–60 are subject to conscription, and Ukraine has recently lowered the draft age amid military shortages. The incident highlights growing public anger over forced recruitment as the war with Russia drags on.

As Russia unveils its hypersonic “Oreshnik” missile capable of Mach 10 speeds, former President Trump doubles down on his vision of a $25B “impenetrable missile defense dome.” Marketed as America’s answer to global threats, the so-called "Golden Dome" faces serious skepticism. Experts warn the U.S. remains vulnerable, with no existing defense proven to stop missiles like Oreshnik. While Trump promises next-gen protection, Russia’s battlefield display in Ukraine sends a chilling message: the future of warfare is already here—and America might be a step behind.

Russia has ramped up its assault on Ukraine after former President Trump issued a final nuclear warning. In a fiery response, President Putin confirmed the deployment of Oreshnik ballistic missiles capable of reaching U.S. cities.

As fears of a NATO-Russia confrontation grow, the global community watches nervously. Trump, meanwhile, has commissioned new nuclear submarines—signaling a chilling new phase of geopolitical warfare.

President Donald Trump says he has deployed nuclear submarines near Russia following provocative remarks by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. As U.S.-Russia tensions escalate, President Putin unveils a hypersonic missile system—Oreshnik—claiming it could rival nuclear strikes. Medvedev and Trump’s online war has triggered fresh World War 3 fears, especially after both leaders made alarming military moves. The Pentagon remains silent, fueling public concern. With nuclear rhetoric surging on both sides, the world watches in anxiety as two of the most powerful nations inch closer to direct confrontation.

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedev’s chilling “dead hand” threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it “posturing.” A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that “words are important and can have unintended consequences.” Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War.
