The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported that the June 1 “Spider Web” drone operation caused approximately $7 billion in damages and disabled 34% of cruise missile bombers in key Russian airbases.

The agency confirmed that more details about the attack will be revealed later.

“And you thought Ukraine was easy? Ukraine is exceptional. Ukraine is unique. All the steamrollers of history have rolled over it. It has withstood every kind of trial. It is tempered by the highest degree. In today’s world, its value is beyond measure,” the SBU wrote, quoting Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko.

They also vowed to continue to drive Russian forces out of Ukrainian territory.

    If usa would supply ukraine with weapons, instead of talking big, we would see a lot more destroyed russian weapons

      The U.S. doesn’t even talk big on Ukraine anymore. Proposing a joke of a “peace plan” where Russia gets their land and we get their minerals. Insulting Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. The Ukrainians kept us in the dark on this one so Trump wouldn’t do any stupid shit like when he blabbed to Putin and got all our informants killed. Trusting the U.S. to do anything constructive on Ukraine would be a fool’s errand.

        I thought I’d remembered correctly that there had been a Ukraine:US data leak that had compromised agents but couldn’t recall the details. Thanks (and very much justification for not telling an external country what your country’s plans are).

      yes, but it is better that Ukraine isn’t using US weapons or depends on intel or targetting info when destroying a third of russia’s bomber nuclear triad (which russia already used to attack Ukraine anyway).
