Russian MASSIVE ‘Retaliation’ Air Raid Campaign Continues Unabated for a Second Night – Trump Says Ukraine ‘Gave Putin a Reason To Go In and Bomb the Hell Out of Them’
Gateway Pundit ^ | Jun. 7, 2025 | by Paul Serran

For a second night in a row, Russian Federation forces pounded military targets in Kiev, Kharkov and many other Ukrainian cities, in what many see as retaliation for the Ukrainian terrorist attacks on civilian trains in Bryansk and Kursk, and – of course – for the drone raid on Russian strategic airfields.

Russian military Telegram channel Military Chronicle has put forward a thought-provoking theory that the ‘retaliation’ will take the form of a prolonged series of missile and drone raids over the next days.

“Russia’s missile strike on the night of June 5-6, 2025, according to the latest information, was not a separate action, but the start of a series. The structure of the attack, the depth of damage, and the choice of targets indicate a transition to a phase of fire impact stretched over several cycles. If the pace continues, strikes can be expected in the coming days on the remaining critical nodes: the Kiev Hydroelectric Power Station (as well as energy facilities that were refrained from), the Dnepr Hydroelectric Power Station, and individual 750 kV substations linking the central and eastern energy systems of Ukraine.

The form of the strikes, apparently, will remain the same: combined waves of Geraniums, medium- and long-range missiles, with reconnaissance based on the traces of previous damage and repeating the cycle. The key difference is not so much in the means, but in the rhythm. If earlier the Ukrainian air defense in the center of the country could cope with isolated raids, now, with a high level of saturation and alternation of weapons, it is no longer possible to do this in full. Especially against the background of losses of equipment that is difficult to replace, such as the Patriot air defense system.”

RT reported:

“Russian MoD CONFIRMS massive overnight strike on Ukrainian military targets

Moscow says high-precision weapons and UAVs hit drone assembly sites, weapons depots, training centers, and defense plants in response to Kiev’s ‘terrorist actions’ — all targets reportedly destroyed”

Meanwhile, US President Donald J. Trump commented on the ongoing attacks, making it clear that he thinks that Ukraine’s actions invited these reprisals: “They gave Putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them last night. That’s something I didn’t like about it when I saw it. I said, here we go now.”

Trump also expressed hope that the conflict will bot devolve into a nuclear war.

So be it. The world is tired of the corrupted green goblin. On a footnote, many Russian Ambassadors were recalled to Moscow- attacking Russia’s nuclear weapons and then not informing President Trump about the attack is sinister.

In any case, ALL of Ukraine’s metrics have flat lined…indicating they will cease to exist in their present form.

I expect Vlad to take off his gloves, and give Ukraine the western “ Yugoslavia Treatment”….never forget how the West intervened in Yugoslavia, extreme shock and awe, water, electricity, waste treatment, communication, etc…good for the goose, good for the gander.

Ukraine hits valid military targets and Russia responds by terror bombing cities; and you think that Zelensky is corrupt?

Non western MSM is reporting the revenge attack will last for at least a week, until all objectives are accomplished…..finally, he will give them the “ Yugoslavia treatment”…..which by the way ended up splitting Yugoslavia according to ethnic regions….Russia, Hungary,Romania and Poland should each get their territory back- problem solved.

Russia retaliated to the retaliation by Ukraine, which retaliated to the Russian attacks, which then retaliated to the retaliation by Ukraine, which retaliated to the Russian retaliation attacks... ad infinitum.

All of this because Ukraine had the gall to become independent back in 1991.

Some observers claim that the current action has nothing to do with the “retaliation” which is yet to come. (I think it’s a difference without a distinction). Others point out that the war is won or lost on the ground by troops. Another tidbit, Russian missiles have been improved by the addition of decoys released to confuse drone defenses.

Russia lobbing a few missiles it cant even target properly into random residential apartment buildings is not exactly something to brag about. It is about the technology level of Hamas in Gaza.

A precision strike by hundreds of drones specifically targeting a massive portion of Russia’s air force simultaneously, however, is a clear sign of Ukraine’s abilities.

Not when they start targeting Russian nuclear forces- and without informing Trump. Ukraine is now done, best they surrender before they get the Yugoslavia treatment….or worse.

Quite the contrary, Ukraine has demonstrated that they're very capable of resisting Putin/Russia.

But on the other hand, Russia is self-destructing, where their economy is near collapse and the military has been depleted of most equipment other than drones and missiles. But even the drones and missiles are being provided by other nations, namely Iran and N.Korea and even China.

But the Russian people cannot eat or drive drones and missiles, and they are the ones suffering from the damage from the weak economy Putin has given them.

Most people in Russia did not ask for this war and in fact, most of them want Putin to end the war.

The war won't end until Putin realizes that there is no way that he can win the war and pulls his troops out. The Ukrainians have a country to defend and won't give Putin what he's after.
