Ukraine defies Trump with Russian oil blitz and SIX jets destroyed in Neptune missile strike

0 October 16, 2026 17:26

Ukraine has responded to Trump with a series of devastating strikes on Russian oil and data centre with blitzes in Ryazan and Komi. Jerome Starkey brings you the latest news from the War in Ukraine as Ukrainian Neptune missiles have destroyed SIX Russian SU-34s and other aircraft in an airbase in Voronezh. The US cut off Ukraine’s access to Starshield, the military version of Starlink, leaving cities vulnerable to attack and frontline operation in peril as Trump ratifies his blood soaked deal with Putin to buy Russian oil. This week we saw incredible footage of US Bradley tanks back in action on the Frontline and a Ukrainian FPV drone taking out a Russian Mi-28 helicopter.
