Russia's devastating air raids: Trump blame Ukraine

In the night of Saturday, June 7, 2025, there were violent Russian air strikes on Ukrainian cities, especially on Kharkiw and Cherson. These attacks were to be understood as retaliation on Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian military bases, in which several long -range bombers were damaged. According to [Kleine Zeitung] (https://www.kleinezeitung.at/politik/ukraine/19771820/russland-flog-erneut-massive-Auftiege-Trump-Ukraine-Die debt), three people were killed in the attacks in Charkiw-including children. Mayor Ihor Terechow spoke of at least 40 explosions in a short time, which made the attacks the most violent since the beginning of the Ukraine secretary. In Cherson, the attacks demanded two other fatalities, as Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.

The night before there was another wave of attack in which Russia cost six people. These brutal attacks are part of the war against Ukraine, which has been going on for more than three years, and show how escalating the situation is. The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj has described the Russian attacks as terror and calls for more pressure from the West to Moscow, especially in the form of sanctions.

Trump's controversial statements

In the middle of this tense situation, former US President Donald Trump commented on his Truth Social platform. He described Russian President Vladimir Putin as "absolutely crazy". Trump gave Ukraine to blame for the attacks because she gave Putin a reason to bomb them. He referred to the latest Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian strategic bombers that trigger his statements according to Austrian radio

Trump said that he had not yet decided whether he would impose sanctions against Russia, but emphasized that he was considering this if necessary. Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham is planning a new sanction package that is supposed to curb the advancing aggression in Russia.

Russia's reaction and further developments

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the air raids met military goals in response to the "terrorist acts" of Ukraine. According to [ZDF] (https://www.zdfheute.de/politik/prutin-trump-trump- ukraine-ukraine-wrieb-russland-100.html), the Ukrainian Air Force reported a record attack with 355 drones and nine market aircraft, which is considered the biggest drone attack since the conflict began. In Moscow, too, failed drone attacks were informed, with Russian air defense collapsing 82 Ukrainian drones within eight and a half hours. However, a diplomatic solution to the conflict is still not in sight, since Moscow adheres to its maximum demands.

The situation remains tense and it is to be hoped that the international community can find solutions to prevent further suffering. In this war, which has been raging since February 2022, the urgency of an orderly dialogue between the two sides is once again shown, even if the conditions are currently not promising.
