Russian Night Terror on Kyiv: Trump and Zelensky in Panic as Rockets Rain Down
Kyiv was once again the target of a brutal Russian attack that lasted for hours and left the city ablaze. The night of July 3rd to 4th was hellish – at least 13 locations across Ukraine’s capital were hit by missiles and drones, injuring at least 19 people, 14 of whom were hospitalized. Mayor Vitali Klitschko and military administration chief Timur Tkachenko warned residents to close their windows due to dangerous levels of smoke and combustion products.
Explosions That Never Stop
Explosions began around 10 PM and continued into the early morning hours. Russia launched ballistic missiles and armed drones, including Iranian-made Shahed drones, causing fires in residential and commercial buildings throughout Kyiv. Fires broke out in the Obolon, Sviatoshynskyi, Dniprovskiy, Solomianskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Holosiivskyi districts. Medical facilities were damaged, and vehicles were set ablaze. The governor of Poltava, Volodymyr Kohut, reported that drones also struck his city, injuring two people.
Trump and Zelensky in Telephone Chaos
All this happened just hours after a phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Trump expressed disappointment with Putin, saying he showed no willingness to stop the war. At the same time, Trump spoke with Zelensky, promising help to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense. However, the US recently paused deliveries of critical weapons, including Patriot missiles, due to their own stock shortages, causing concern in Kyiv.
Drone and Missile War – The New Normal
Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, using a record number of Iranian Shahed drones. On June 17th alone, one of the largest attacks on Kyiv since the war began killed 28 people and injured many more. These attacks are not just military strikes – they are terror against civilians, attempts to exhaust Ukraine’s air defense system and intimidate the population.
Europe and America in a Dilemma
While Kyiv burns, allies argue over arms deliveries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz spoke with Trump about purchasing and sending Patriot systems to Ukraine, but the US has paused some shipments due to depleted stocks. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni confirmed that the US has not stopped supporting Ukraine but has reconsidered the types of weapons sent. All this while Russian missiles and drones keep falling.
Conclusion: Kyiv Burns, and the World Argues
As Kyiv fights for every inch and every life, world leaders play their diplomatic games. Russian attacks do not stop, and Ukraine desperately needs help. But while Trump and Zelensky negotiate by phone, and Europe reconsiders arms shipments, missiles and drones continue to fall on civilians. Is this a war or a never-ending nightmare?
