Russia launches ‘largest ever' drone strike against Ukraine
KYIV — Russia unleashed its largest overnight drone attack in the war on Monday, launching cruise and ballistic missiles as well in a barrage that lasted through the night and struck locations across Ukraine, even as Kyiv and Moscow began a days-long prisoner exchange involving hundreds of soldiers. Russian forces launched 479 self-detonating drones, of which 460 were shot down or deflected through electronic interference, Ukraine's air force said in a statement on social media. Ukraine's western Rivne region went through 'a very difficult night' and 'suffered a powerful enemy airstrike,' Oleksandr Koval, head of the regional military administration, wrote on Telegram. One person was injured, he said. He did not provide further details. Monday's attack appeared to have caused less damage than one on Friday, which Kremlin officials said was in response to an audacious Ukrainian assault on air bases inside Russia earlier in the week. In Friday's bombardment, Russian drones and missiles hammered Kyiv and cities in western Ukraine, causing extensive damage and injuring dozens. Monday's strike took place as Moscow's forces claimed to be advancing toward Ukraine's southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region — an area of the country that has been heavily bombarded but so far has avoided ground fighting. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the offensive was in part an attempt to create a 'buffer zone.' However, Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian military's Center for Countering Disinformation, posted on Telegram that 'all information from the Russians, including Peskov's statements, about their offensive on the Dnipropetrovsk region is NOT true.' The Russian advance could represent a further intensification of Moscow's military pressure across the front line, which has now spread to Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region. In his regular evening address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that in 'some areas' along the front line, 'the situation is very difficult.' Fighting is underway in the Donetsk, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, he added. On Monday, Zelensky announced on Telegram the beginning of a prisoner exchange that would 'continue in several stages in the coming days.' Zelensky said he could not divulge all details but that the first group included those who were seriously wounded and under the age of 25. 'The process is quite complicated, there are many sensitive details, negotiations continue virtually every day,' Zelensky wrote.

Russia and Ukraine begin new prisoner swap as drone war and front-line battle continue apace
Kyiv — Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that a new prisoner exchange with Russia was underway. He said it would take place in several rounds over the "coming days," announcing that Kyiv had received the first group of captives from Russia. The news of another prisoner swap, agreed to by the warring neighbors in direct talks that have failed to yield any significant progress toward a broader easing of the war sparked by Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion in 2022, came after Moscow launched a drone attack on a Ukrainian air base in the country's far west. "Today, an exchange began, which will continue in several stages over the coming days," Zelenskyy said on social media. "Among those we are bringing back now are the wounded, the severely wounded, and those under the age of 25," he added. Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) are seen after being released by Russia in a swap, amid Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine, at an unknown location in Ukraine, in a handout picture released June 9, 2025, by the Ukrainian presidency. Ukrainian Presidential Press Service/Handout/REUTERS Russia's Defense Ministry said earlier Monday that it had returned a group of prisoners — all aged under 25 — from Ukraine in the first stage of a new major exchange of captives agreed between Moscow and Kyiv during their second round of talks in Istanbul. The exchange of prisoners has been a solitary positive development from those direct talks, in which the two sides remain otherwise entrenched in their respective demands over conditions to halt the fighting. On the roughly 600-mile front line in the ground war, stretching from eastern Ukraine's northern to southern borders, the fighting has only intensified in recent weeks. Moscow claimed Monday to have gained even more ground in eastern Ukraine, and it did so after launching a massive round of attack drones in retaliation for Kyiv's blistering sneak drone attack on Russian military aircraft last week. President Trump said last week that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had told him during a phone call that Russia would retaliate for the Ukrainian drone attack, which Kyiv claims destroyed 41 Russian bombers as they sat parked at four airbases. Russia launches major drone strike against Ukraine as fighting continues Moscow fired a record 479 drones at Ukraine, including on the western region of Rivne that has been largely spared from attacks, Kyiv said Monday, while claiming an attack on a Russian factory hundreds of miles east of Moscow. Russia has escalated its attacks across Ukraine in recent weeks, which Kyiv says demonstrate that the Kremlin has no intention of stopping its more than three-year invasion and is not serious about peace talks. Moscow said Monday its strikes are continued retaliation for a bold Ukrainian attack on its bomber planes parked deep inside Russia, including in Siberia, that infuriated the Kremlin. The overnight Russian attacks caused damage in several Ukrainian regions. There were no reports of people killed or mass casualties. "Enemy air strikes were recorded in 10 spots," the Ukrainian air force said.

Stringer/REUTERS The mayor of the western city of Rivne, Oleksandr Tretyak, called it "the largest attack" on the region since the start of the war. Regional governor Oleksandr Koval said 70 buildings — including private houses and a nursery — were damaged in the attack. Russia said it had targeted an airfield near the village of Dubno in the Rivne region. "This is one of the retaliatory strikes against terrorist attacks by the Kyiv regime on Russian military airfields," its defense ministry said. Ukraine's Air Force Command spokesperson Yurii Ihnat said in a post on social media that the country's U.S.-made Patriot air defense system had shot down all four Kinzhal hypersonic missiles launched by a warplane over Rivne Oblast, but it was unclear whether any drones or other Russian weapons might have hit the airfield in the area. There were no reports by Ukrainian media of significant damages to the facility. Ukraine also said it had launched its own overnight strike on an electronics factory that makes part for Russian drones, in the city of Cheboskary in Chuvashia — some 372 miles east of Moscow. Russian officials said the facility had to temporarily suspend production after the attack. "This morning, Ukrainian attempts to use drones in Chuvashia were detected," Chuvashia Governor Oleg Nikolayev said on Telegram, adding: "Two drones fell on the territory of the VNIIR factory." Ukraine's army said the factory manufactured "antennas for Shahed" (drones). Russia fires dozens of Iranian-designed Shahed attack drones at Ukrainian cities on a daily basis. Russia said a Ukrainian strike killed one person in its border Kursk region Monday. The acting governor of the region, Alexander Khinstein, said the strike hit a "cultural-service centre" in the Rylsky district, killing a 64-year-old man.

Russia launches biggest drone barrage of the Ukraine war, Kyiv says
Nearly 500 drones and 20 missiles of various types were launched by Russia at Ukraine overnight, marking the biggest barrage of the war, Kyiv said. On Monday, Ukraine's air force said its air defenses were able to destroy 277 of the 479 drones launched in the darkness and 19 missiles mid-flight. Kyiv claims only 10 drones of missiles hit their target and just one person was injured. The bombardment targeted mainly central and western areas of Ukraine, they said. Russia's aerial attacks usually start late in the evening and end in the morning, as drones are harder to spot in the dark. Russia has targeted civilian areas of Ukraine with Shahed drones during the war. The attacks have killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations. Russia says it targets only military targets. Despite the attack, the Kremlin said on Monday that Russia was still ready to honor agreements with Ukraine on a new prisoner of war exchange and on the repatriation of dead soldiers, despite what it said was Kyiv's failure to so far honor its side of the bargain. "We have seen and heard a hundred different excuses, justifications and so on, but it is difficult to view them as credible," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Reuters. "The Russian side remains ready to implement the agreements reached in Istanbul." The exchanges were agreed to during a second round of direct peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 and are meant to see a new prisoner of war swap of at least 1,200 people – focusing on the youngest and most severely wounded – as well as the repatriation of thousands of bodies of those killed in the war. The return of prisoners of war and the return of the bodies of the dead is one of the few things the two sides have been able to agree on, even as their broader negotiations have failed to get close to ending the war, now in its fourth year.
