Kyiv hit by barrage of drone strikes as Putin spurns Trump's truce bid

  • On July 4, 2025, Russia launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on Kyiv, injuring at least 23 people and causing damage across six districts of the city.

  • The intensified attacks and the pause in US weapons shipments indicate growing challenges for Ukraine’s defense amid the ongoing war and escalating Russian offensives.
