Local time on June 6, U.S. President Trump told reporters that the recent attack by Ukraine's drones on Russia's long-range nuclear bomber airbase significantly increased the risk of escalation in the situation and gave Moscow a legitimate reason for retaliating with force.
According to RT, in addition to launching coordinated drone attacks on multiple Russian air force bases, Ukraine also destroyed a Russian railway bridge last week, causing civilian and freight trains to derail, resulting in at least 7 deaths and over 120 injuries, including children. On June 4, Russian President Putin discussed the attack with Trump in a phone call and warned that Moscow's response was inevitable and justified.
When asked whether the attacks by Ukraine on multiple Russian military facilities changed his view on how many cards泽连斯基had in his hand, Trump said he "didn't like" the escalation of the situation.
"Well, they gave Putin a reason to bomb them last night," Trump said. "This is what I don't like. When I saw the news, I said: 'Here it comes...the attack will come soon.'"
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, to respond to Kiev's recent "terrorist acts", the Russian military conducted a large-scale strike on Ukraine's defense industry bases early Friday morning using missiles launched from air, sea, and land, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles. The statement said the targets of the overnight air strikes included "design institutes, enterprises involved in the production and maintenance of Ukrainian weapons and military equipment, assembly workshops for attack drones, flight training centers, and warehouses for weapons and military equipment."
