Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1197: Trump holds phone call with Putin, who threatens retaliation for devastating attack on airfields
Ukraine's Security Service revealed details of its surprise "Spiderweb" drone operation that destroyed 41 Russian aircraft using AI-guided technology that continued missions even after communication was severed in some cases. Meanwhile, Trump's envoy Kellogg cautioned that these attacks push the war toward dangerous escalation. However, Kremlin officials publicly state that Russia seeks the “complete destruction” of Ukraine, signaling Moscow’s lack of interest in genuine peace negotiations.
