Putin accuses Ukraine of terrorism after fatal train gaps!

Brjansk, Russland - On June 4, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of practicing terrorism. This allegation is made in connection with two train gaps in Russia, which were caused by blown -off bridges. According to reports, an accident in Brjansk cost seven people and injured dozens of others. Putin claims that Ukraine aims at such actions to hinder peace talks. These statements make it clear that the tensions between the two countries are still high, and the conflict accepts new dimensions, especially with regard to possible retaliation measures on the part of Moscow.

The accusation of Ukraine goes beyond the explosions. The Ukrainian secret service SBU attacked four Russian military airports in an offensive, including one in Irkutsk. In the context of these subsequent escalating events, US President Donald Trump has also emphasized that Putin has announced retaliation for the Ukrainian drone attacks. Meanwhile, NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte shows solidarity and emphasizes the need for dialogues with Moscow, which underlines the complexity of the current geopolitical situation.

The reactions of Ukraine

Selenskyj is ready for a meeting with Putin, Trump, Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to get the peace talks forward. Nevertheless, progress in the negotiations remains limited: after the talks in Istanbul that took place on Monday, a new prisoner exchange was agreed, but no agreement could be reached via an ceasefire.

escalation and security situation

The current developments not only represent a humanitarian crisis, but also raise serious questions about regional security. The repeated destruction of Russian infrastructure and the reaction of Russia to Ukrainian attacks could further fuel the conflict, while the international community is concerned about the ongoing attacks. Putin's cancellation of demands for a break of fire illustrates that the situation is still extremely tense and diplomatic progress remains unsure.

Overall, the developments show that the relationship between Russia and Ukraine is still heavily burdened, especially in view of the fateful cycles of attacks and counterattacks that move far away from permanent peace.
