Joint E3 Leaders’ Statement with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine: 7 June 2026 …and importantly 👇
On negotiations, they discussed the conditions that would need to be in place for a just and lasting peace.
•First, a stop to the fighting. They called on President Putin to agree to an immediate and complete ceasefire.
•Second, the current line of contact should be the starting point for negotiations. International borders must not be changed by force, and Ukraine’s sovereign right to choose its own security arrangements and alliances must be fully respected.
•Third, Ukraine must have robust and legally binding security guarantees in place once a ceasefire enters into force, building on commitments made in Berlin in December 2025 and Paris in January 2026. This includes the deployment of the Multinational Force – Ukraine.
•Fourth, Russian assets will remain immobilised until Russia ceases its war of aggression and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused by the war.
•Fifth, that European security interests must be safeguarded in any deal. Elements of any negotiation related to the EU and NATO would need the consent of the EU and its Member States and NATO Allies respectively.

Commemorations in Normandy to mark D-Day 82 were attended by senior defence personnel including Defence Minister Lord Coaker and the Chief of the Defence Staff Air Chief Marshall Sir Rich Knighton.
In tribute to the thousands of British and allied troops who lost their lives to secure our freedom, Defence Secretary John Healey laid wreaths at the British Normandy Memorial and the 48th Commando of the Royal Marines monument.
Russia’s continued bombardment of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities, and its deliberate weaponisation of energy, is a calculated gamble with nuclear safety that pushes Europe closer to another catastrophe.
This level of Kremlin recklessness cannot go unanswered. It demands consequences in the strongest possible terms.
No state can be permitted to play roulette with global nuclear security.
SNYDER: Quite clear that China-backed Russian attempt to destroy Western order and undermine rule of law is not in anybody’s interest.
Ukrainians have right to defend themselves, they can and should win this war. Most Republicans and Democrats understand that perfectly.
But recent vote in Congress to continue support for Ukraine, when most Republicans voted against it, is good example of how people will take cult of personality, which is Trump, over interests of United States.
Trump’s problem is that he wants to be like Putin. But the rest of us should want to be like people who care about our own country.
Ukraine is test for United States of whether people can return to thinking about interests of the country, or prefer personal whims of someone who likes to imagine that he lives in a world of oligarchs and dictators.

Today, Zelenskyy, Starmer, Macron, and Merz meet in London. The format itself is worth welcoming, even if the EU has once again been left on the sidelines.
The real question is what mindset the E3 brings to the table.
Zelenskyy set the tone with his open letter to Putin. While his European partners likely share its substance, they are unlikely to be ready to openly put their signatures beneath it.
But they do see that Russia is not looking for middle ground. It is set on war. Seeking a balanced compromise with an aggressor committed to conquest is not diplomacy. It is self-deception.
The predecessors of today’s leaders understood this well.
Symbolically, eighty-five years ago, London hosted another gathering. In June 1941, representatives of fourteen Allied governments and liberation movements met there to unite against Nazism.
The final London Declaration was not about ending a war. It was about uniting those willing to win it and shape the peace that followed.
One can only hope today’s meeting is guided by the same logic.
Europe’s prosperity depends on its security. Europe’s security depends on Ukraine. It is time to turn that truth into effective policy. And fast.
Today, Russians once again struck the exclusion zone surrounding the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
A Shahed drone hit a building at the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility, a highly critical infrastructure site.
Attacks on Chornobyl does not just threaten Ukraine, it endangers the entire European continent. This must never be tolerated, yet Russia keeps doing it because there is absolutely no consequences.
The ICC held the confirmation of charges hearing in the case The Prosecutor v. Khaled El Hishri.
The Prosecution outlined the evidence supporting allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Libya.
Am kommenden Montag, dem 8. Juni, um 15 Uhr (NY Zeit), werden wir erneut eine Sitzung des UN-Sicherheitsrats einberufen & die russischen Lügen Stück für Stück zerlegen und entlarven. Moskau verliert nicht nur auf dem Schlachtfeld, sondern auch auf dem diplomatischen Parkett✌️
Ukrainian deep-strike drones could fly 1,000+ km but carried just 60-kg warheads—not enough to destroy refineries or warships. Frontelligence Insight called it out in 2024.
Fire Point solved it. Wing fuel tanks freed fuselage space for a 105-kg blast-fragmentation warhead at the same range. The short-range FP-2 now packs 158 kg.
First demonstration: the corvette Boikiy at Kronstadt, drydocked near St. Petersburg. A single FP-1 crossed 1,100 km and set the ship burning for hours—fire spreading through cable runs with firefighting systems offline.
Fire Point produces 300 of these a day. Each one costs $50,000. https://t.co/ewNQzCFFc8
I dag har dom meddelats för morden på svenska Zaida Catalán, amerikanen Michael Sharp och Betu Shintela från DRK. De mördades 2017 när de arbetade som FN-experter och lokal tolk i DRK. Det är svårt att finna ord för att beskriva dessa brott, mot människor som bara ville göra gott. Nästan 10 år senare är detta ett viktigt steg för att säkerställa rättvisa för offren och deras familjer. Sverige har löpande framfört till kongolesiska myndigheter vikten av en rättssäker process, inklusive rätten till en rättvis rättegång, där all tillgänglig information och bevisning tas i beaktande. Sverige motsätter sig starkt användningen av dödsstraff under alla omständigheter, utan undantag.
KASPAROV: We’ve had 20 sanctions packages. How come Russian missiles that hitting Ukrainians and killing people every day are still mostly built with parts and components from sanctions list? How many criminal cases have been opened against sanctions violators? Practically none.
31,500+ invaders neutralized, logistics paralyzed, and record-breaking air defense results. May was a month of massive scaling for our e-Points system. We’re using real-time data to exhaust the enemy, protect our sky, and roboticize the front line. The mission continues — @FedorovMykhailo
The Russian corvette Boykiy is on fire after a Ukrainian drone strike at the Kronstadt Naval Base near St. Petersburg, with its superstructure heavily damaged and the mast reportedly collapsed.
The Boykiy is one of the main surface combat ships of Russia’s Baltic Fleet, part of its core naval force responsible for patrol, escort, and combat operations in the Baltic Sea.
It is a Project 20380 Stereguschiy-class corvette, equipped with anti-ship missiles, air defense systems, and radar used for fleet protection and maritime control in the region.
The ship was in dock for maintenance when it was struck, with fire spreading through the section housing its radar, combat management, and electronic warfare systems.

Occasionally, we all need a hero to hold out for 'til the end of the night — strong, fast, fresh from the fight. Especially, when nearly every night is marked by russian terror.
Ukrainian interceptor drones continue to prove they fit the requirements:
