Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko says a Russian missile and drone attack on the capitla early Friday has killed at least four people and injured 20 others.

Russia will take years to replace nuclear-capable bomber planes that were hit in Ukrainian drone strikes last weekend, according to Western military aviation experts, straining a modernisation programme that is already delayed.

The Russian attacks come after President Donald Trump likened the two sides to children on a playground who needed “to fight for a while.”

In a few early June days, underlying assumptions about Ukraine and Russia were shaken in three ways. On June 1st Ukraine launched one of the most daring raids in the modern history of warfare, releasing killer drones from trucks to scavenge on strategic bombers deep inside Russia,

He said Russia showed little response to the June 3 special operation by Ukraine’s SBU Security Service, which marked the third confirmed attack on the Crimean Bridge. “They responded at sea about the same way they did in the information space — basically not at all.

Ukraine’s underwater strike on the Kerch Bridge targeted both a strategic supply route and a powerful symbol of Russian control over Crimea, dealing another blow to Putin’s image and logistics.
