Russia carries out devastating attack on Kyiv - fear of further attacks!

In the night of June 6, 2025, Russia carried out a massive attack on Ukraine, which focused primarily on Kiev and other larger cities in the western part of the country. According to the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, at least four people were killed in this attack and twenty others were injured. The aerial arm sounded in all regions of Ukraine, and explosive noises were heard in several cities, while the Ukrainian Air Force warned of the Russian bombers started, which fired cruise missiles. In Kiev, fire broke out in residential buildings and civil infrastructure, with the military administration warning of possible emergency power failures in the eastern Kiev. The exact effects of the attacks have not yet been checked independently.

It remains unclear whether the Russian attacks represent a direct retaliation after a Ukrainian blow to the Russian bomber fleet. The Ukrainian secret service SBU stated that they had attacked several Russian military airfields, including those in Siberia. These attacks took place on June 2, 2025 and led to the destruction of over 40 Russian fighter planes, which is equivalent to an estimated loss of $ 7 billion. Russia itself only confirmed damage to a few aircraft and described the attacks as a terrorist act. The Kremlin later announced retribution measures by spokesman Peskow, while US satellite images could not confirm the high numbers of the allegedly destroyed aircraft.

attacks at military base points

The most important attacks in Ukraine focused on four strategic Russian air force bases:

• iwanowo (northeast of Moscow)
• Djagilewo (southeast of Moscow, Rjazan area)
• Olenja (Murmansk area, northwestern Russia)
• Belaja (Irkutsk area, Siberia)

These attacks have been the first Ukrainian advance in Siberia since the beginning of the invasion in February 2022. Ukrainian armed forces used 117 FPV drones, which were secretly transported near the bases. The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj praised the strategic preparation and called the attack a "brilliant action".

The reaction of Russia to the Ukrainian attacks further accelerated the tensions. Moscow reported extensive drone attacks on the Russian capital, with ten enemy drones being shot down in Moscow. At the same time, Ukrainian soil troops moved to the Russian region of Kursk. Further reports provide information about Ukrainian drone attacks about a variety of defense measures in the regions of Brjansk, Tula and Rostow am Don.

economic framework conditions

While the military attacks escalated, the expires of EU trade in relief for Ukraine came into force at the same time. This relief that was introduced in 2022 should support the Ukrainian economy. Transitional rules are now in force until a new trade agreement is negotiated. The developments of the past few days show that the military and economic aspects of the conflict are closely linked, while the reactions from both sides continue to influence the dynamics on the battlefield and in international diplomacy.
