Both sides have run to improve drone technology and increase their use on the battlefield after Russia’s invasion of their neighbor in February 2022. They have deployed rapidly sophisticated and deadly drones, converting war into a test ground for new weapons.
Ukraine is under severe stress from a dandruff at locations on the front line of about 1,000 km (620-mile), but analysts say its rescue is largely firm. Recently there was no progress on the US -led international efforts to prevent the fight with direct peace talks, Russia and Ukraine are increasing their arsenal.
According to official data by the Associated Press, Russia launched 5,438 drones in Ukraine last month, a new monthly record.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone hit an industrial plant in Izhevsk, which was about 1,000 km (620 mi) from Moscow, killed three people and injured 35, 35, said Alexander Brechlov, head of Udamurtia region. He said that the workers of the plant were evacuated.
According to an official with Ukraine’s Security Service, SBU, “Drone hit the Kupol electromachanical plant, which produces air defense systems and drones for the Russian army.”
At least two direct hits were recorded on the plant buildings, the official said, “Speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.”
Ukraine has been using domesticly produced long distance drones for months to carry out deep strikes inside the Russian region of plants, storage sites and kitchens. In May last year, a Ukrainian drone hit an early warning radar in the Russian city orksk, a few 1,800 km (1,120 mi) from the Ukrainian border, Kiev officials claimed.
Mr. Zelancesi said that the domestic production of Ukraine’s drone is going to grow in response to Russia’s extended barrage.
“Priority is drone, interceptor drone and long distance strike drone,” he said on Monday (June 30, 2025) on Telegram.
“It’s extremely important,” he said. “Russia is investing in its unmanned capabilities; Russia is planning to increase the number of drones used in attacks against our state. We are preparing our counters,” he said.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said that 60 Ukrainian drones had fallen overnight in several areas, including 17 from Crimea, 16 on Rostov region and four on Sarotov region.
At the same time, four Russian Shahed drones killed the city of Zaporizia, the city of Southern Ukraine during the night, according to officials, left more than 1,600 houses without electricity.
Ukraine’s Air Force said on Tuesday (July 1, 2025) that Russia fired 52 Shahd and Dickoy drones in the country overnight.
Special messenger of US President Donald Trump for Ukraine and Russia, retired Lieutenant General Keith Kelog, reprimanded Russia to continue to strike on Ukraine’s civilian areas, while effectively rejected a struggle stop and pulled its feet on a peace agreement.
“We urge an immediate ceasefire and a step for tripartite talks to end the war,” Mr. Kelog said on the social platform X on Monday (June 30, 2025). “Russia cannot release the stall for time, while it bombs civil goals in Ukraine.”
Ukraine is developing its own defense industry because uncertainty remains on whether the Trump administration will continue to provide significant military assistance.
According to the German Kail Institute, between March and April, the United States did not provide any new assistance to Ukraine, which tracks such support.
Europe has crossed the US in total military assistance for the first time since June 2022, compared to € 65 billion ($ 77 billion) last month, total € 72 billion ($ 85 billion) in total compared to € 65 billion ($ 77 billion) in total.
