In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi â the famed Black Sea resort city â and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochiâs central streets.
Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscowâs proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure.

Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive twoâday escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central AsiaâCenter gas pipeline in Volgogradâvital for Russiaâs military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across bordersâbringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights.

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a âcomplete betrayalâ of American taxpayers. Referring to Trumpâs 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democratsâand some neocon Republicansâof pushing an âAmerica LASTâ agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently.
Greene even called Israelâs Gaza offensive a âgenocide,â highlighting deep fractures within Trumpâs GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trumpâs support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust.
