Russia hammers Kyiv in largest missile and drone barrage since war in Ukraine began

  • On July 4, 2025, Russia launched its largest drone and missile attack of the war on Kyiv and other regions in Ukraine, causing widespread damage and injuries.
  • The attack followed a one-hour phone call on July 3 between Presidents Trump and Putin, which ended with no progress on ending the conflict and highlighted Moscow's firm goals in Ukraine.
  • Russian forces targeted factories producing drones in Kyiv and launched over 539 drones and 11 missiles, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 270 targets, and damage was recorded across six districts of Kyiv and five other regions.
  • Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the night a "deliberate act of terror," while President Zelenskyy described it as a "harsh, sleepless night" and urged increased pressure on Moscow with more air defense equipment.
  • The assault, amid a recent U.S. pause in some military aid shipments to Ukraine, underscores continued Russian offensives and Kyiv's warnings that aid halts could weaken its defenses against intensified attacks.
