01.06.2025 ⇢ Day Ukraine Crippled Russia's Bomber Fleet
⌨
Ukrainian media devoted extensive coverage to Operation "Spider Web," an 18-month planned SBU operation that destroyed over 40 Russian strategic bombers across five military airfields using drones launched from concealed trucks. Reports claimed the strike eliminated 34% of Russia's bomber fleet in a $7 billion blow, with Zelensky describing it as results that would "enter history textbooks."
The operation coincided with diplomatic developments as Ukraine released its full Istanbul negotiation memorandum, revealing positions including no commitment to avoid NATO membership and using current front lines as starting points. Zelensky approved the Ukrainian delegation composition for upcoming talks.
Earlier, Russian forces struck a Ukrainian Ground Forces training center, killing 12 and wounding 60 personnel. Military reports continued showing intense fighting with 166 clashes, concentrated in Pokrovsk and Kursk sectors. Ground Forces Commander Drapatiy submitted his resignation amid the military developments.
