Russia launched an overnight ballistic missile attack against Kyiv early on June 28 – a clear response to Ukraine’s escalating campaign of long-range strikes deep inside Russian territory. The strikes forced residents into bomb shelters as air defense systems engaged incoming missiles over the Ukrainian capital city.
The strikes also came as Ukraine targeted two oil refineries in Russia as well as other major infrastructure.
In response to Iranian strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a statement that could be interpreted as a nuclear threat. Writing on Truth Social, Trump criticized the regime in Tehran for violating the terms of the memorandum of understanding (MOU), and warned that Iran may “no longer exist” if he follows through on his own military threats.
“United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” Trump said.

Crimea, the territory Vladimir Putin has prized above every other conquest since seizing it in 2014, is blacked out, running dry of fuel, and living under a state of emergency. Ukrainian drones have spent weeks cutting the peninsula off from the Russian mainland, and the damage is now severe enough that Moscow’s own officials have stopped pretending otherwise. The question hanging over the crisis is how far Putin will go to keep his grip on Crimea, and whether he reaches for the kind of extreme retaliation his rhetoric has long threatened.
Warsaw, Poland – Russian nationalist hardliners are calling on President Vladimir Putin to exit negotiations with the United States and instead significantly escalate the war against Ukraine.
Reuters, quoting unnamed sources inside Russia’s elites, reported on 26 June that the advice those same hardliners are giving him also includes contingency plans for the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

Ukraine’s campaign of “long-range sanctions” continues, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirming that his country’s military had conducted long-range strikes overnight on June 27 – this time targeting one of Russia’s most important military-industrial facilities in the Volgograd region. According to a statement from Zelenskyy, the domestically manufactured FP-5 cruise missile struck the Titan-Barrikady defense plant overnight.
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) also said its drones had attacked a major oil pumping station in the Vladimir region of Russia.
Military spouses have long been masters of adaptation, flexibility, and adjustment on any given challenge brought to our attention, especially the ones that demand action. We adapt to deployments, navigate long separations, build support systems from scratch, and somehow keep moving forward through PCS after PCS.
Yet when it comes to employment, all the tools collected throughout the military spouse journey just seem unable to work.
Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is in full swing, with another long-range strike confirmed overnight on June 27 that damaged a major Russian defense production plant. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the country’s own FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile struck the Titan-Barrikady defense plant in the Volgograd region, engulfing the plant in flames.
The massive military-industrial facility is one of the most important defense manufacturers in the country and has been under international sanctions since the beginning of the Russian invasion.
