This historic strike came just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"370\" data-end=\"634\">According to <em data-start=\"383\" data-end=\"404\">The Washington Post<\/em>, the skies over Kyiv were filled with smoke and explosions as Ukraine\u2019s air defence systems scrambled to respond. The scale and speed of the attack shattered records, even surpassing another massive strike just days earlier.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"713\">\n<p data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"713\">\u201cKyiv was the main direction of the strike,\u201d Ukraine\u2019s air force confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"928\">This marks Russia\u2019s second record-breaking strike in one week, signalling a clear and dangerous escalation in the war. Sunday\u2019s previous high was 537 drones and missiles \u2014 now surpassed by this latest wave.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1185\">While the details of the Trump-Putin conversation remain unclear, the immediate aftermath shows no signs of diplomatic progress. In fact, the timing of the attack has fueled criticism of Trump\u2019s approach to foreign policy. One social media user wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1256\">\n<p data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1256\"><em data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1256\">\u201cDiplomacy doesn\u2019t work with Putin\u2026 he\u2019s shown it over and over.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1518\">Emergency responders in Ukraine are now assessing the extensive damage across Kyiv, as fears grow that even larger attacks could be ahead. The strike shows that urban centers remain Russia\u2019s key targets, with civilian areas under increasing threat.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1724\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">This sudden surge in violence raises urgent questions about the effectiveness of the current U.S. and NATO strategy and whether Trump\u2019s administration is prepared for the growing scale of this conflict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia has launched its biggest air assault on Ukraine since the war began, unleashing 539 drones and 11 missiles, with\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":80181,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[186],"tags":[168,291,290,750,30479],"class_list":["post-80180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-putin","tag-russia","tag-trump","tag-vlamdir-putin"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
