“Launched immediately following the call between Washington and Moscow, this was one of the most severe assaults of the entire war, a clear demonstration of how Moscow interprets diplomacy, intended purely as a message.”

Ah, those deadly Russian windows. Andrey Badalov, the vice-president of Transneft, the world’s largest pipeline company, fell to his death today, per Russian media.

Video footage from Russia this morning (Azov military optics plant in Rostov region) shows that Ukraine started using its own Shahed-style drones in addition to those based on light aircraft frames.

Here's my report from Kyiv after last night's Russian attack. As one Ukrainian adviser put it Putin is "publicly humiliating" Donald Trump after their phone call yesterday. The US strategy of appeasing Russia doesn't work- & civilians are paying the price theguardian.com/world/2025/jul

What an irony. Following tonight's massive Russian air attack on Ukraine, we discovered in Kyiv a component of a Russian-Iranian "Shahed-136"/"Geran-2" combat drone, which was made in China and supplied just recently. This same night, the Chinese Consulate General's building in

Ukrainian culture is a prime target for Russian missiles and drones: a publishing house was among last night’s targets in Kyiv.

Putin hung up with Trump, pondered traditional values in cinema, and ordered one of the war’s biggest barrages targeting Kyiv civilians.

Apocalyptic scene in Kyiv after Russia’s massive 550-drone-and-missile strike. This comes just after a Trump–Putin call and a clear signal from Moscow: no intention of backing down. Putin, like every dictator, only understands strength. On this anniversary of American

“What do we the French have in common with Poland? Do they even have potatoes in Poland?” The French far left (this is a prominent lawmaker) is really vaunting its ignorance as a virtue. Global trend sadly.

“We spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies. We have also agreed to a meeting between our teams.” 🔮 Seems like it went well. But let’s see what happens next🚀

I asked President Trump if he plans to send Patriot missiles to Ukraine. “We might. We're looking at it,” he replied.

Chaos in Russian airports as hundreds of flights are delayed or canceled because of Ukrainian drones. As Ukrainians see it, no reason why Russian civil aviation should function as long as Ukrainians can’t fly. (The last commercial flight in Ukraine was on Feb. 23, 2022.)

Compounding this chaos is the fact that Russia now routinely disables mobile internet to interfere with Ukrainian drone navigation — which means that stranded travelers can’t use their phones to get online.
