US silence as Russia steps up attacks on Ukraine highlights Trump’s failure

The early hours of Sunday in Kyiv were marked by the sounds of Russian drones approaching after two days of heavy attacks on civilian areas. President Trump's silence has allowed Putin to escalate the conflict, avoiding any sign of a ceasefire despite expectations. Both sides are using increasingly sophisticated drones, with Russia deploying decoys and complex systems to evade detection while Ukraine targets bases aimed at undermining morale. The ongoing air war without territorial gains highlights the challenges Kyiv faces in sustaining its efforts without sustained Western military aid.
