A Ukrainian national reported on Monday that Russia launched its largest helicopter assault on Ukraine since the conflict started more than three years ago. The attack later on Sunday involved 355 drones, according to Yuriy Ihnat, a spokeswoman for Ukraine’s air pressure, which represented a major escalation in Moscow’s campaign.

President Donald Trump responded to the abuse by claiming that Vladimir Putin, the country’s president, has gone” crazy,” citing the intensifying attacks as a result of U.S. efforts to negotiate regional peace.
Vladimir Putin of Russia and I’ve always been quite close, but anything happened to him. He has become utterly crazy”! Trump stated in a statement posted on Truth Social Monday night. He is “killing a lot of people without really soldiers,” he continued. For no apparent cause are missiles and uavs being shot into Ukrainian cities. I’ve always said that he wants everything in Ukraine, not just a small portion of it, and that’s probably because it’s been proven to be true, but that would cause Russia to fall.
More is available from The Associated Press.
In what Ukrainians described as the largest combined flying abuse ever, Russia fired 298 robots and 69 weapons of different types at Ukraine the night before. Around 900 robots were launched by Russia at Ukraine from Friday through Sunday, according to officials.
As a result of the increase, it appeared as though Trump’s peace efforts might have stifled any hopes that a solution will emerge in the near future because Putin appears determined to seize more Ukrainian territory and cause more harm.
Russia has this quarter broken its previous record for three flying detonations of Ukraine. The growth of its surroundings campaign came after Kyiv accepted a 30-day absolute ceasefire request from the United States in March, but Moscow steadfastly rejected it.
According to Ukraine and military analysts, Russia is also advancing along the roughly 1, 000-kilometer ( 620-mile ) front line, where it has made slow and expensive progress, and is putting together its forces for a summer offensive.

On Monday, Kaja Kallas, the vice-president of the European Commission, declared the latest Russian attacks on Kyiv” entirely appalling” and promised to impose yet another round of sanctions on Moscow. It remains to be seen whether those sanctions may really have any impact, but the EU’s default response to social demonization and recovered penalties shows no signs of change.
Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, stated on Monday that “only a sense of total impunity does allow Russia to carry out like strikes and consistently increase their level.” There is a lot of political meaning in this, but there is no real defense logic at all.
The Democrat Party’s Death Spiral Is Even Worse Than We Thought, ICYMI.
Zelensky is once more pleading for more stringent international sanctions against Russia, claiming that limiting Moscow’s tools is the only means to put a stop to the conflict. He said that” Russia’s desire to fight may be denied of assets.”
Trump even criticized Zelensky for no assisting the situation. Trump claims that Zelensky is “doing his Country no privileges by speaking the way he does.”
Trump continued,” Everything out of his lips causes troubles, I don’t like it, and it better stop.” If I were chairman,” this war would never have begun.” I am just helping to set out the great and unpleasant burns that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred because this is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, no Trump’s.
