Russian Attacks on Kyiv Kill at Least 11 After Ukrainian Drones Strike St. Petersburg

HeadlineJul 06, 2026

In Ukraine, at least 11 people were killed after Russia launched a series of overnight aerial strikes on Kyiv just a day before a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. The attacks came after President Trump reportedly offered to help Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine war in a phone call between the two leaders that lasted nearly 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, Russia faces a growing fuel crisis, after Ukraine targeted more than 50 oil refineries and other energy sites across Russian territory and occupied Crimea since March. Over the weekend, a wave of Ukrainian long-range drones struck a key oil terminal and naval base in St. Petersburg.
