Ukraine Launches Widespread Attacks on Russia Following Washington-Moscow Tensions + Video

Hours after US President Donald ‍Trump announced the deployment of nuclear submarines near Russian waters, the Ukrainian military launched a series of‍ attacks against Russia.

The Ukrainian army targeted Russian ​oil refineries,defense facilities,a military airport,and radar​ sites in a series of strikes. ⁤These attacks followed heightened tensions between Washington and ‍Moscow and came shortly after Trump claimed that ⁢two nuclear submarines had been positioned near⁤ Russian waters,according to webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Express.

Video footage from early⁣ today shows a massive fire at the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Russia’s Samara‌ region. Flames billowing from this military-oil complex resembled a mushroom cloud.

Express reported that this refinery⁤ supplies fuel for​ Russian fighter jets. A Ukraine-linked Telegram channel (+Exilenova) boasted about the attack, estimating the explosion’s flames reached around 180 meters high.

Another refinery ⁢in Ryazan, which provides ⁢fuel to Moscow, also caught fire. Fires‌ were ⁢additionally reported near Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airport in Krasnodar region – an airbase used by Moscow for deploying combat drones against Ukraine.

A “major ‍attack” was also reported on an air defense radar‍ installation near Feodosiya in Crimea.

Responding to recent remarks by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman‍ of Russia’s Security Council-who issued threats-Trump defended his decision to deploy two US nuclear submarines close ‍to Russian waters. He said the move was necessary for ‌American national security: “We had to do it. We must be cautious. A threat emerged that⁤ we​ believe was unacceptable. For our people’s security, I took this action.”

the US president added: “The former Russian president made threats-we intend to protect our people. You just have to ​read ⁤what he said; he spoke about nuclear war. When that ⁤is mentioned,​ we must ​be ‍prepared-and we are ​fully ready.”

Earlier on his social media ​platform Truth Social, Trump stated ​he ordered​ the ‌deployment of two American nuclear ​submarines “in an appropriate location” following Medvedev’s ‌online remarks. He criticized Medvedev’s tone as “stupid and provocative,” warning that “words matter⁤ greatly and can often have unintended consequences.”

The ⁢online dispute ⁣began when ​trump called the‍ former ‌Russian ⁤president an “unsuccessful leader” and warned him to “watch his ⁢words.” In turn, ⁤Medvedev responded ⁤sharply with warnings not to provoke⁤ Moscow excessively while invoking the concept of a “dead hand” system-a Cold War-era⁤ automatic retaliatory mechanism designed to launch nuclear missiles if Russia’s leadership is destroyed-which reportedly remains active⁣ today.
