Putin threatens to respond after Ukrainian strikes on airfields
- Ukrainian forces struck 41 Russian military aircraft at four airfields across Russia on Sunday, prompting threats of retaliation from President Vladimir Putin.
- The attacks followed Moscow's rejection of a US-backed 30-day ceasefire proposal and were part of ongoing hostilities, including a recent damaging operation on the Kerch Bridge.
- Ukraine used 117 drones with advanced control technology in the operation targeting strategic bombers parked deep inside Russian territory, including bases in Siberia and Murmansk.
- Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said roughly half of the damaged planes will be irreparable and urged allies not to show weakness despite Putin's strong warning to respond.
- Russian and US presidents held a 75-minute phone call during which Putin confirmed he would respond to the airfield attacks, though no immediate peace was expected from the discussion.
