July 05, 2025

RUSSIA launched its largest drone and missile attack on Ukraine overnight yesterday, just hours after a telephone call between US and Russian presidents ended without any breakthrough.

Journalists in the capital heard drones buzzing over Kyiv and explosions ringing out as Ukrainian air defence systems fended off the attack.

US President Donald Trump said he had made no progress with Vladimir Putin on ending the war in a call, as the Kremlin insisted Russia would pursue its war aims.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the air alerts had begun echoing out across the country as reports of the presidents' call emerged.
