Ukrainian General Mykhailo Drapatyi has resigned after a deadly Russian missile strike on June 1 hit the 239th Polygon training base near Dnipro, killing 12 and wounding 60 young conscripts.
Drapatyi confirmed the site was previously targeted in March and demanded accountability for any negligence.
Ukraine’s military is investigating possible command errors that led to the tragedy.
With growing Russian focus on Ukrainian training grounds, the incident marks one of the deadliest in recent months, prompting public outrage and scrutiny.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has appointed General Mykhailo Drapatyi as Joint Forces Commander, just days after his resignation over a deadly Russian strike in Dnipro that killed 12 unarmed recruits. Drapatyi will now oversee frontline combat, with another officer handling training. Amid rising Russian missile attacks and internal military tensions, Drapatyi has blasted Ukraine's “toxic command culture” and called for urgent reforms. Analysts see the move as part of Zelensky’s broader attempt to balance rival factions and reassert control over Ukraine’s war effort.

Former President Trump has issued a stark warning to Russia: agree to a Ukraine ceasefire within 10 days or face sweeping new sanctions. He hinted at harsh secondary sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia’s already struggling economy. Despite the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov mocked the move, claiming Moscow isn’t worried. Analysts say sanctions could slash Russia’s GDP by another 3–5% annually and hit energy exports hard. As the U.S. raises pressure, the question remains—will Putin yield, or is Trump making empty threats?

Despite bold rhetoric, President Trump is unlikely to follow through on secondary tariffs targeting Russian trade partners. Speaking in the UK, Trump extended his tariff deadline again, repeating a familiar pattern of threats with little enforcement. Russian markets rose following his speech, reflecting global skepticism. Experts say enforcing tariffs on nations like China or India could backfire, straining diplomatic ties and fueling inflation at home. As Putin vows to continue the Ukraine war, Trump’s tactics seem more bark than bite—aimed at leverage, not real economic penalties.

Russia has unveiled the ‘Posokh,’ a portable, ytterbium-based laser air defense system capable of disabling Ukrainian drones within a 2 km range using invisible laser beams. The announcement follows successful tests and comes as Russia escalates airstrikes on Ukraine. On July 28, a drone and missile barrage hit Kyiv, injuring eight civilians, including a child. The Darnytskyi district was among the hardest hit. With 324 drones launched overnight, Ukraine’s air defenses are under mounting pressure amid ongoing conflict.

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured.
Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success.
Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended.

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.

President Donald Trump arrives at the NATO summit in The Hague amid escalating tensions over Russia’s war in Ukraine. In a stunning revelation, Trump claims Putin offered help on Iran—but he fired back, saying “I need help with YOU.” Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Dnipro suffers a deadly missile strike killing 11 and injuring 160, intensifying Zelensky’s calls for tougher sanctions. Trump pushes for a deal with Russia, questions NATO’s Article 5, and pressures allies on a 5% GDP defense pledge. Is NATO cracking? Is Trump rewriting the rules of global power?

Russia has reportedly entered Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, expanding its war zone beyond Donetsk. While Kyiv dismisses the claim as propaganda, military analysts confirm geolocation evidence of Russian advances. The strategic push threatens to encircle Pokrovsk and compromise Ukrainian defenses. This penetration, though limited, could escalate the war and shift negotiations. Western experts warn of summer offensives as Russia aims to isolate key cities and tighten its grip on southeastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military holds firm, but the situation on the Dnipro front grows increasingly tense.
