Selenskyj warns: Russian attack escalated, peace in danger!

in Ukraine, the situation continues to come to a head while Russia intensifies its air strikes. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj described the recent attacks as the greatest since the beginning of the war. In particular, the cities of Kiev, Odessa and Charkiw are the focus of the Russian offensive, which became particularly tragic after three people killed and numerous injuries, including children, in Charkiw. Selenskyj rejected the claim that this was a reaction to the Ukrainian "Operation Spider Netz"; Rather, he emphasized that Russia had previously carried out attacks to destabilize Ukraine. His assessment of the Russian air strikes supports the analysis of SRF.CH Ukraine to surrender to surrender.

The Ukrainian army reports on an intensive military exchange, including a nightly attack on the Savaslica military airfield in Russia, where two Russian campaigns were damaged. At the same time, there was a prisoner exchange with Russia, which has been the first to meet in Istanbul since a meeting on June 2. Despite these developments, progress in the efforts for a break in the fire are available. The pressure on the Ukrainian armed forces is growing because they complain about a significant lack of staff and are only 50 percent occupied.

international reactions and military strategies

In an interview,

Selenskyj expressed that he has the greatest skepticism with regard to possible peace negotiations with Russia and described the reports on Russian success on the front as "Russian narrative". He sees President Putin's statements as a sign that the Kremlin is not interested in the end of the war. Instead, according to Selenskyj's assessment, Russia pursues two main goals: to push a diplomatic approach to Trump to avoid sanctions, and on the other hand to isolate Ukraine without European and American participation.

In view of the ongoing attacks, Selenskyj warned that a reduction or complete setting of US aid could have far-reaching negative consequences for security in Europe. He expressed the desire to preserve German cruise missiles of Taurus, which he sees as essential for defense efforts. Such demands come at a time when the EU, led by Ursula von der Leyen, discusses an 18th sanction package against Russia, which focuses on the energy sector and aims to increase the pressure on the Kremlin.

The role of the drone attacks

The air strikes, in particular the massive drone offensive committed on Tuesday night, represent a turning point in the conflict. According to the Ukrainian military leadership, a total of 315 drones and 7 rockets were fired, most of which could be intercepted. This biggest attack since the beginning of the war shows how Russia tries to take Donbass through persistent offensive actions and to destabilize Ukraine in the long term. Civilians have already repeatedly fallen victim to the attacks, while the Ukrainian defense is increasingly in a difficult situation.

experts warn that the probability that Russia will conquer the entire eastern Ukraine by autumn is low, but a large part of the Donbass could be uninhabitable, which would further exacerbate the humanitarian situation in the region. The conflict shows no signs of de -escalation, and the international community faces the challenge of reacting to this explosive situation.
