Ukraine Intensifies Strikes on Russian Maritime Targets Ahead of Trump-Putin Summit

Ukraine has escalated its military operations by targeting Russian vessels and ports that facilitate the transport of Iranian drone components and ammunition. Recent attacks have resulted in the sinking of a Russian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea, which was reportedly carrying crucial supplies for Shahed drones. As Ukrainian forces conduct deep-strike operations, they have vowed to continue drone attacks until a peace deal is reached. These aggressive maneuvers coincide with diplomatic tensions, as the Trump-Putin summit approaches, prompting further strikes on Russian supply hubs in the Astrakhan region and the Caspian port. The Ukrainian military claims these operations are essential in disrupting the supply chain of Iranian weapons to Russia.
