Ukrainian drones force suspension of Russian electronics factory
Work at an electronics factory in Russia's Chuvashia region, some 600 kilometres east of Moscow, was briefly suspended on Monday due to falling Ukrainian drones, local officials said.
"This morning, Ukrainian attempts to use drones in Chuvashia were detected," regional governor Oleg Nikolayev wrote on Telegram, adding that there were no victims from the attack.
Ukraine regularly launches drone attacks on Russia in response to aerial bombardments by Moscow, which began a full-scale offensive into Ukrainian territory more than three years ago.
"Two drones fell on the territory of the VNIIR factory," said Nikolayev.
The VNIIR facility is one of the main factories producing electronic components in Russia.
A decision was taken to "temporarily suspend production to ensure the safety of employees", the governor added.
Two drones fell into fields in the region without causing any danger to people, Nikolayev said.
"The situation is entirely under control," he added.
Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted 49 Ukrainian drones overnight.

'He didn't fool me,' Trump said, further threatening to take action against Russia, stating that Putin 'will be hit very hard" if he continues his aggression. 'At a certain point, you know, ultimately, talk doesn't talk, it's got to be action," the US President added.

He warned that his administration would impose 100% tariffs on Russia if Moscow and Kyiv fail to reach a ceasefire deal within 50 days. While addressing a joint appearance at the White House with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, amid ongoing diplomatic pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, Trump said, 'I use trade for a lot of things." he added.

Trump has expressed frustration with Putin, criticising him for failing to follow through on his words. Trump stated he's 'very disappointed" with Putin, citing unsuccessful US-brokered talks aimed at negotiating a truce between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump warns very severe tariffs on Russia if it doesn't ends Ukraine war in 50 days
US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened "severe tariffs" against Russia if Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine in the next 50 days."We're going to be doing secondary tariffs. If we don't have a deal in 50 days, it's very simple. And they'll be at 100 percent, and that's the way it is," Trump said while speaking to reporters at the White House on has increasingly voiced dissatisfaction with Putin's handling of the war in Ukraine. The move to arm Ukraine comes amid continued Russian missile strikes despite earlier talks aimed at a ceasefire. Earlier, the US President fumed at the Russian leader for saying he wanted peace and then stepping up his attacks on Ukraine. With his disenchantment with Putin growing, Trump also hinted that new sanctions on Russia could be announced soon."I am very disappointed with President Putin," he said. "I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he'll talk so beautifully, then he'll bomb people at night. I don't like it."Trump also said that the Patriot missile systems and batteries will be among the weapons the US would send to Nato to support Ukraine in its war against week, Trump said that he was not happy with Putin and was considering additional sanctions on Moscow, underscoring his frustration over the growing death toll in Russia's war with Ukraine."We're not happy with Putin — I'm not happy with Putin because he's killing a lot of people,' Trump said, responding to a question on the war. 'It's turned out to be tougher,' he added, referring to the drawn-out conflict that has left tens of thousands dead and reshaped global security."If I was Vladimir Putin today, and you're speaking about what you are planning to do in 50 days. I would reconsider whether I should not take negotiations about Ukraine more seriously," Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte, who joined Trump for talks at the White House, said in support of his stance."It's a full complement with the batteries," news agency Reuters quoted Trump as saying."We're going to have some come very soon. Within days, a couple of the countries that have Patriots are going to swap over and will replace the Patriots with the ones they have," he who returned to the White House in January, had promised a quick end to the war during his poll campaign. Trump said his shift was motivated by increasing frustration with Putin, who, according to him, had talked about peace but continued to strike Ukrainian cities."We actually had probably four times a deal. And then the deal wouldn't happen because bombs would be thrown out that night and you'd say we're not making any deals," Trump said.- EndsTune InMust Watch
