Russia has reportedly lost a MiG-31 carrier of hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. On the night of 9 June, Ukraine carried out a precise strike on the Savasleyka airfield in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.

When launched from a MiG-31K, Kinzhal can reach speeds up to Mach 10–12 (about 12,300 km/h) and fly up to 2,000 km. Its warhead is estimated to be 480–500 kg. The fighter jet can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, making it one of the most feared weapons in Russia’s arsenal.

The Savasleyka airfield has been frequently used to organize strikes against Ukrainian territory.

Therefore, destroying these aircraft is a serious blow to Russia’s ability to conduct missile attacks with hypersonic weapons.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a result of the operation, at least two Russian aircraft were hit, most likely MiG-31 and Su-30/34 jets. Information is being updated and clarified.

Ukrainian military officials emphasize that such operations are part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the enemy’s capacity to carry out air attacks on Ukraine.

The General Staff states that strikes on targets enabling Russian aggression will continue until the war is completely stopped.

“Why does he speak?” Ukrainian heavyweight champion Usyk calls on Trump to be responsible for his promise to end war in 24 hours

“Open your eyes!” World heavyweight boxing champion from Ukraine, Oleksandr Usyk, has called on US President Donald Trump to come to Ukraine and live in his home to see firsthand the realities of war and Russian shelling, CNN Sports reports. 

US President Donald Trump has equated strikes on civilian and military targets, has yet to impose new sanctions, and has not approved additional aid. After the new US administration’s peace efforts, Russia has doubled its daily attacks. Meanwhile, the US has redirected weapons needed in Kyiv to detect Moscow’s drones to the Middle East despite previous agreements. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also notably absent from the Ramstein meetings in 2025 for the first time since the group was formed.

“I offer him my home. Let him live in my house for a week and see how rockets fly over it and how people live in Ukraine,” says Usyk. 

According to the boxer, Trump must be responsible for his words, and finally fulfill his promise to end the war in Ukraine, as he had said he would stop the war within a day or a month.

In 2024, Oleksand Usyk defeated Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, holding all four major belts simultaneously.

“He should be responsible for the words he said. Why does he speak?” the boxer adds, stressing that the US president needs to “open his eyes and help.”

Usyk also advises Trump to live in the Kyiv districts of Obolon or Troieshchyna, “where houses, residential buildings are being bombed,” to “understand what is happening.”

This is not the first call by prominent figures for Trump to visit Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly invited Trump to visit the frontline and see the war with his own eyes. However, the American leader has yet to come to the country.
