The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.

The European Court of Human Rights held Russia accountable for the MH17 tragedy and rights abuses in Ukraine. The court addressed cases filed by Ukraine and.. IndiaTimes
Russia has launched over 100 drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight assault across Ukraine — striking major cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and more. At least 12 people were killed, including civilians in Sumy, Odesa, and Kherson, and 69 others injured, with three children among the wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that over 1,200 drones have been fired at Ukraine in the past 7 days, calling on international partners to urgently deliver air defense systems. Russian drones also targeted recruitment centers in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 75 drones using advanced electronic warfare.
This marks the deadliest barrage since Friday’s mega strike of over 530 drones. Is the war entering a more brutal phase? Will Ukraine’s allies respond fast enough?

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a landmark move, the UK and France have signed a historic agreement to coordinate their nuclear forces in response to growing threats—particularly from Russia. The pact strengthens joint deterrence capabilities and marks a unified European nuclear posture not seen before. The deal also expands their Joint Expeditionary Force to 50,000 troops. Leaders Macron and Starmer called it a “renewed vision” for European security, reaffirming support for Ukraine and warning against easing pressure on Putin as war escalates.

At a high-stakes summit in Rome, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed unwavering European support for Ukraine amid Russia’s escalating airstrikes. Merz issued a direct warning to Putin—“We will not give up”—and urged Donald Trump to maintain transatlantic unity. While Trump approved new weapons, his long-term stance remains unclear. As Kyiv seeks more Patriot systems, Germany considers direct delivery. With 30 nations gathered, the summit focused on rebuilding Ukraine and coordinating air defenses as the war enters a deadlier phase.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur as Russia launched its most intense wave of strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv in months. Amid mounting civilian casualties, Rubio expressed frustration at Moscow’s obstruction of ceasefire efforts. The meeting marked a major shift in Trump’s Ukraine policy, with the U.S. now viewing Putin—not Kyiv—as the main obstacle to peace. Trump’s leaked rebuke of Putin signals Washington’s harder stance as the war intensifies.

Putin delivered a brutal takedown of Ukrainian leadership, declaring that “the whole of Ukraine is ours” while mocking Kyiv’s military for being only 47% staffed. Putin revealed that Ukraine’s attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region ended in disaster, with 76,000 Ukrainian troops lost. Calling their military strategy “stupidity,” he warned that Russia will now push for a buffer zone.

Ukrainian kamikaze drones targeted residential areas in Russia’s Kursk Region, wounding at least 14 civilians, including four children. Several apartment blocks and homes were damaged across towns like Rylsk, Artakovo, and Lgov, with some victims hospitalized. A drone also ignited a major fire at an agricultural facility. The attacks follow recent ceasefire discussions in Istanbul. Russia has blamed Ukraine for manipulating talks while intensifying strikes. As the region braces for further attacks, authorities urge vigilance amid escalating cross-border hostilities.

Russia claims President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a Ukrainian drone strike during his visit to the Kursk region on May 20. According to Air Defence Commander Yuriy Dashkin, Putin’s helicopter was in the "epicentre" of a large-scale drone attack, with one drone shot down near his flight path. Russia says over 1,170 drones were destroyed between May 20–22. Officials are now probing whether the strike was an attempted assassination or a psychological operation by Ukraine. No injuries or damages were reported, and Putin’s convoy continued as planned.
