Trump's Criticism of Putin Coincides with Record Drone Attack on Ukraine

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities on the Eastern Front, Russia executed a record attack involving over 700 drones and missiles against Ukraine, coinciding with President Trump's critical remarks on Russia's peace negotiations.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented barrage of drones and missiles on Ukraine overnight, just after President Trump publicly rebuked President Vladimir Putin for his ineffective peace efforts. The air raids struck central and western Ukrainian cities, aiming at military installations and airfields. In the aftermath of the attacks, which rattled Kyiv, Trump shifted his stance on military aid to Ukraine, vowing to resume arms shipments that had been temporarily paused for a review of U.S. military readiness.

Trump's reversal came following another violent night for Ukraine, highlighting the nation's increasing reliance on foreign weaponry as Russian forces ramp up their drone production. According to Ukraine's air force, a total of 728 explosive drones were deployed in this latest assault, surpassing the previous record of 539 drones set a few days prior. As the conflict escalates, Ukraine remains in dire need of sustained military assistance to counteract the intensifying Russian offensive.
