05.06.2025Day Trump Threatened Sanctions Against Both Sides
Russian strikes overnight killed five people, including a child, in Pryluky and wounded seventeen in Kharkiv apartment buildings. Ukrainian forces responded by hitting Iskander missile systems in Bryansk region, continuing the cross-border escalation that began with Operation "Spider Web."

Trump's diplomatic approach shifted dramatically during the day. Morning reports suggested he praised Ukraine's "cool" airfield attacks, but by afternoon he compared the war to "two small children fighting" and threatened sanctions against both Russia and Ukraine. He claimed to have warned Putin "Don't Do It" regarding retaliation threats.

Russia destroyed the Kherson Regional Administration building with guided bombs, prompting Zelensky to call the strikes militarily senseless. The US Embassy issued warnings of "significant" attacks ahead, similar to May alerts that preceded major civilian strikes.

By evening, Russia launched another massive combined attack with drones and missiles, targeting Kyiv and multiple regions. A public feud between Trump and Elon Musk also emerged, with accusations involving the Epstein files.
