Russian strike kills 5, including 1 year old, hours after Trump calls Putin
- Russian forces launched missile and drone strikes overnight on June 5, 2025, killing at least six people across multiple Ukrainian regions including Pryluky, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv.
- The attacks followed Ukrainian drone strikes that destroyed Russian nuclear-capable bombers, prompting President Putin to vow retaliation during a call with Donald Trump.
- The attacks involved a large-scale overnight barrage of over one hundred unmanned aerial vehicles and a single ballistic missile, targeting residential areas and regional government buildings, resulting in dozens of injuries—including 17 people in Kharkiv, among them children.
- Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko denounced the attacks, describing them as characteristic of a ruthless Russia that disregards human life, while President Zelensky urged the international community to intensify pressure, noting that Russia continues its violence when it perceives a lack of strong global condemnation.
- These strikes underscore ongoing escalation in the war's third year and suggest continued Russian attempts to delay outcomes by inflicting civilian harm, intensifying calls for global action against Moscow.
