Ukraine Strikes Russian Air Base After Massive Attack

News summary

Ukraine carried out a significant retaliatory strike on Russia's Borisoglebsk air base in the Voronezh region, reportedly damaging fuel depots, aircraft shelters, and a glide bomb store. This action came in response to Russia's largest aerial assault on Ukraine since the war began, in which over 500 drones and missiles targeted Kyiv and other cities, causing at least one death and over 26 injuries. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted many of the drones and missiles, while Russian media reported heavy losses and panic at the Borisoglebsk base. The escalation followed a phone call where U.S. President Donald Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire but expressed disappointment at Putin's reluctance. Trump also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about bolstering Ukraine's air defenses and potential joint weapons production amid concerns about U.S. military aid. Western intelligence indicates that Russia's loss of high-ranking officers has contributed to operational difficulties in its armed forces.
