Russia hammers Kyiv in largest missile and drone barrage since war in Ukraine began

  • On July 4, 2025, Russia launched the largest drone and missile attack of the war on Kyiv, hitting six districts and injuring at least 23 people.
  • This attack followed a phone call on July 3 between Presidents Putin and Trump, during which Putin insisted Russia would not change its goals in Ukraine.
  • Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 270 targets out of 550 drones and missiles, but the strikes caused severe damage to residential buildings, schools, and infrastructure.
  • President Zelenskyy called the strikes cynical and deliberate, describing the night in Kyiv as horrible and sleepless, and urged increased pressure on Moscow to stop its destructive behavior.
  • The attack underscored Russia’s intensified offensive since its February 2022 invasion and raised concerns about the impact of paused U.S. weapons shipments on Ukraine's defense capabilities.
