Russia-Ukraine War Live Updates: Massive Missile Barrage Strikes Kyiv Amid Critical Counteroffensive
• Hot Trendy News
Updated Front Lines: Russia–Ukraine Conflict Sees Record Drone Strikes, Shifting Diplomacy
Introduction
Russia’s overnight drone campaign and evolving diplomatic overtures are reshaping the battlefield and the negotiating table in the 1,188-day-old war.
Russia Launches Another Mass Shahed Drone Barrage
• Ukrainian air defense says 60 Iranian-designed Shahed drones were fired in the early hours, injuring civilians in Odesa and Zaporizhzhia regions.
• The salvo follows a record 355-drone onslaught two nights earlier, signaling Moscow’s renewed focus on exhausting Kyiv’s interceptor stockpiles.
Kyiv Gains Green Light for Long-Range Strikes Inside Russia
• Germany, Canada, and several Nordic allies have lifted restrictions on Ukrainian use of Western-supplied missiles against military targets across the border.
• Analysts say the decision could pressure Russia’s Belgorod and Kursk logistics hubs, potentially slowing future offensives toward Kharkiv.
Putin Meets Turkish Foreign Minister as Ankara Tests Mediator Role
• President Vladimir Putin discussed a draft “peace memorandum” with Turkey’s Hakan Fidan, focusing on security guarantees and grain-corridor revival.
• Diplomatic sources caution that Moscow still insists on Kyiv’s “neutrality,” a red line Ukraine rejects.
Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Quietly Rewired Toward Russia
• Satellite imagery reviewed by nuclear experts shows new high-voltage lines connecting the occupied Zaporizhzhia plant to Russia’s Rostov grid.
• Ukrainian officials warn that diverting power could destabilize the national grid just as peak summer demand begins.
Kremlin Reacts to Western Political Rhetoric
• Moscow dismissed former U.S. President Donald Trump’s criticism of Vladimir Putin as “emotional overload,” while reiterating that sanctions debate in Washington will not alter its “strategic aims”.
• Russian lawmakers are drafting a counter-sanctions bill targeting U.S. tech exports and rare-earth metals.
Humanitarian Snapshot
• UN figures show 9.6 million Ukrainians remain displaced; 3.4 million are in EU member states.
• Kharkiv’s city council has extended its overnight metro-shelter program as drone alerts average four per night this month.
What to Watch Next
1. Ukraine’s first confirmed long-range HIMARS strike on Russian soil.
2. Possible Turkish-brokered prisoner swap before the July NATO summit.
3. EU debate on a €50 billion Ukraine Facility to back reconstruction and air-defense procurement.
