Operation Spiderweb 'Gave Putin a Reason to Bomb the Hell Out of Them,' Trump Says, Following Large-Scale Attacks on Ukrainian Cities
- On June 6, Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukrainian cities in response to Ukraine's covert Operation Spiderweb on June 1.
- Operation Spiderweb involved a year-long plan where Ukraine used drones hidden in trucks to damage about 40 Russian bombers, nearly one-third of their strategic cruise missile carriers.
- On June 6, Russia launched attacks on Ukraine’s defense industry facilities and civilian locations, employing missiles fired from the air, sea, and ground, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, in retaliation for Kyiv’s recent sabotage that included derailing trains and resulted in at least seven fatalities.
- US President Trump indicated that Ukraine’s actions prompted Putin to launch a severe bombing campaign the previous night, cautioning that Russia’s retaliation could be harsh, while also expressing his disapproval of the escalating conflict.
- The attack underscores ongoing hostilities four years into Russia's invasion and complicates diplomatic efforts, with Ukraine planning a meeting between President Zelensky and Trump during the G7 summit on June 15-17.
