Ukrainian offensive: Bomb attack on Russia's Air Force shocked Moscow!

Olenja, Russland - On June 6, 2025, Ukraine promised a large -scale military attack on several Russian military airports. This is considered a turning point in the current conflict, since the Ukrainian armed forces have successfully destroyed several Russian long -range bombers. The attack became known as part of a coordinated operation, which is referred to by the Ukrainian domestic secret service SBU as the "campaign spider network", reports fr.de .

The Russian ambassador in London, Andrey Kelin, has accused Great Britain of supporting the Ukrainian secret service in this attack. He argues that the implementation of such an operation requires highly developed technologies and geodata. Although Kelin takes the United States out of responsibility under President Donald Trump, he clearly sees London as strongly involved, especially in view of the extensive military support that the United Kingdom of Ukraine has granted since the beginning of Russian aggression in February 2022.

Details on the attack operations

The Ukrainian attacks concentrated on four military airports, including Olenja in the Murmansk and Belaya Oblast in the Irkutsk region, which are over 4,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian front. According to the Ukrainian general staff, 41 aircraft, including seven Tupolew TU-95 and three TU-22M3, were destroyed on a single day. Two Berijew A-50 early warning aircraft were also hit, which represents the destruction of a decisive part of the Russian bomber fleet.

President Wolodymyr Selenskyj described the operation as an "absolutely brilliant success" and the most extensive action in Ukraine in the entire course of the war. The scope of the destruction could have particularly serious effects on the Russian attacks, since long-haul bombers like the TU-95 are able to fire missiles from a great distance. The operation was prepared for around a year and led to a significant decline in Russian air raid capacities.

international reactions and support

In response to the escalating situation, NATO has decided to intensify military support for Ukraine, especially in the field of air defense. During a crisis meeting in Brussels, the NATO defense minister promised additional air defense systems to support Ukraine in their defense against Russia. President Selenskyj urges 25 patriot flight defense rocket systems or comparable equipment to protect the Ukrainian airspace.

The Ukrainian secret service SBU and the general staff emphasized in a joint explanation that the military campaign aims to maintain the front line and to protect the country's critical energy infrastructure. The pressure from Russia on Ukraine has increased steadily since the beginning of the war in February 2022, which makes the need for additional support even more urgent. The NATO countries have already promised financial support for the purchase of air defense systems to assist Ukraine while Russia continues to increase its air strikes.
