SUNDAY 7 SEPTEMBER 2025: Russia's bigest ever aerial assault on Ukraine struck the capital Kiev early this morning. At least nine missiles and hundreds of drones made impact on Sunday, local officials said. Some sources on the ground report the assault may be seen up to 1,000 projectiles launched.

Crucially for the progress of the war, this is the first ever aerial strike directly targeted Ukraine’s main government complex in the heart of central Kiev. Government buildings in the capital have thus far been sparred in the Russian 'special military operation' (SMO) - but Sunday's attack suggests the Kremlin could be turning toward all-out war. It appears that once again the Russian's are trying to ram home to Ukraine the message, "You've lost, now stop fighting," because today we also learned that Putin had invited Zelensky to Moscow to negotiate a ceasefire but Zelensky, true to form behaved as if the Ukies are winning by telling the Russian's Putin would have to go to Kiev.
Sunday's attack will certainly cause European leaders to ramp up pressure on Washington go to ahead and unleash Trump's threatened secondary sanctions on Moscow and its trading partners. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen quickly took to social social media, to criticise The Kremlin's latest strike on the Ukrainian capital.
