Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb took out more than a third of Russia's strategic cruise missile carriers, Kyiv officials said.

Russia asked the U.N. nuclear watchdog on Friday to mediate between Moscow and Washington to resolve the question of what to do with U.S. nuclear fuel stored at a Ukrainian power plant controlled by Russian forces.

Russian air defence forces have shot down three drones attempting to attack Moscow, according to the capital's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

Videos of an object breaking up in the sky over Kazakhstan sparked rumors of a failed launch of Putin's deadly nuclear-capable ballistic missile.

The large-scale attack comes days after Trump says Putin had "very strongly" promised response to Ukraine "Spider web" attack.

The Ukrainian operation was “grounds for a nuclear attack,” declared Vladmir Solovyov, a firebrand host on Russian state TV, calling for strikes on the Ukrainian presidential office in Kyiv, and beyond.

The Trump administration is trying to get Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) to weaken his sanctions bill as the president tries to improve U.S. relations with Moscow.

Ukraine unleashed more than a hundred drones smuggled deep into Russia in what it called its most damaging attack yet.

Ukraine said its “Operation Spiderweb” attacked Russian warplanes worth hundreds of millions of dollars, utilizing drones that each cost under $1,000 and were launched from wooden containers carried on trucks.

The United States assesses that Ukraine's drone attack over the weekend hit as many as 20 Russian warplanes, destroying around 10 of them, two U.S. officials told Reuters, a figure that is about half the number estimated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
