Ukraine has taken another shot deep inside Russian territory. This time, they’ve gone after the Borisoglebsk airbase in Russia’s Voronezh region, a key site that houses some of Moscow’s fiercest fighter jets, including the Su-34, Su-35S, and Su-30SM.

Ukrainian forces claim responsibility for the attack, but so far, no major Russian losses have been confirmed. It’s another bold step in Ukraine’s ongoing campaign to rattle Russian air operations.

Ukraine Keeps the Pressure on Russian Airfields

Lately, Ukraine seems to be focusing heavily on Russian airbases. Over the past few months, they’ve been hitting airfields with increasing frequency. Just last month, Ukraine reportedly knocked out over 40 Russian aircraft in a string of similar strikes. This latest attack fits into that same pattern—it’s about keeping Russia’s air force on edge and constantly looking over its shoulder.

What Ukraine Says It Hit This Time

According to Ukraine’s General Staff, their forces targeted a stockpile of glide bombs, took aim at a training aircraft, and damaged other military equipment sitting on the airbase. Ukrainian officials shared these details via Facebook, but on the other side, Moscow has stayed silent—no comments yet from Russian authorities about the extent of the damage or what exactly they lost.

Russia Fires Back With Hundreds of Drones

Russia didn’t take long to respond. Overnight, they launched a massive wave of drones toward Ukraine. Between Friday night and Saturday morning, Russia reportedly fired off 322 drones, aiming at several key Ukrainian regions.

Ukraine’s air defense systems scrambled into action and managed to shoot down most of them, but the scale of the attack was still staggering.

Drone Numbers Are Surging

Khmelnytskyi Region Takes Heavy Fire

The western part of Ukraine, especially the Khmelnytskyi region, bore the brunt of Russia’s overnight assault. Kyiv was also hit hard. A deadly missile barrage on the capital city killed at least one person and left 26 others injured.

Russia’s defense ministry confirmed the strike, saying they had fired a combined 550 drones and missiles—the majority being Shahed drones, which have become a signature part of Russia’s offensive toolkit.

The War Drums Are Beating Louder

The pace of this war is picking up, and the chance of a ceasefire seems to be slipping further away. Both sides are digging in, launching bigger, more destructive attacks with every passing week.

Trump and Putin’s Tense Phone Call

In the middle of all this, former U.S. President Donald Trump got on a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. After the conversation, Trump didn’t mince words.
“I’m really disappointed,” he said. “I don’t believe Putin wants to stop this war.”

The call didn’t seem to make much of a difference.

Russia’s Message: We’re Not Backing Down

Putin’s top foreign affairs advisor, Yuri Ushakov, later confirmed that Russia made its position crystal clear during the call. According to Ushakov, President Putin told Trump directly that Moscow would push ahead with its military objectives in Ukraine and had no plans to step back.

The War Rolls On: No End in Sight

After 40 brutal months, this war shows no signs of slowing. The overnight drone swarms, direct airbase strikes, and stalled diplomacy all point in the same direction—this conflict is far from over.
