Ukrainian interceptor drones are now capable of autonomously shooting down Russian Shahed drones.
A Brave1 developer has created a technology that automates 95% of the interception process - from launch to target destruction.
The system has successfully undergone combat testing in Kharkiv region.
The operator monitors targets in real time, selects a target, and authorizes the strike. The system then independently guides the drone to the target, autonomously identifies it, and carries out the interception.
"Autonomy is one of the key directions in the development of modern air defense. Such technologies make it possible to respond more quickly to massive attacks and protect Ukrainian cities more effectively," said Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo.
After a week of fighting for her life, 19-year-old student Irina Zabudko, who was injured during a massive Russian attack on Kyiv on June 2, has died
The girl's death was announced by her teacher, Vsevolod Zelennin. Irina was a second-year student at the Faculty of Psychology of the Mykhailo Dragomanov National University of Kyiv.
The girl suffered serious injuries during Russia's combined attack on Kyiv on the night of June 2. Doctors fought for her life for a week, but failed to save the student.
Recall that as a result of that attack on the capital, seven people were killed and another 90 were injured, including three children.
💔 — I express my condolences to her relatives and friends
🩹 ⛓️ Ukrainian medic who returned from Russian captivity, when asked by a journalist what he would like to change in the past, answers: "I would wish never to have been born. Too much pain..."
When an individual—specifically someone whose profession is dedicated to the preservation of life—expresses the desire to have never been born, we are witnessing the total victory of the torturer over the spirit. We have faced the greatest evil the Earth has ever known - Russia.
KALLAS: The EU’s €90 billion loan for Ukraine is ready to roll out, and the first €5.9 billion payout is going to be for drones this month. As we allocate funding, Ukraine’s needs are the ultimate priority.
Álvaro tiene 33 años. Durante gran parte de su vida no creyó en Dios. Sin embargo, su historia tomó un rumbo inesperado.
En los últimos años descubrió la fe católica, recibió los sacramentos de iniciación cristiana y, dentro de pocas semanas, celebrará el sacramento del matrimonio.
Durante el encuentro con la comunidad diocesana en el Santiago Bernabéu, su testimonio fue uno de los que más conmovió al Papa León XIV.
En respuesta, el Santo Padre recordó algo que hoy sigue siendo una esperanza para muchos: "Se puede volver a la fe o conocerla por primera vez en la edad adulta."

A special bond can develop between a baby elephant and its caregiver, nurtured through trust, patience, and loving care. Baby elephants are highly emotional and naturally social animals that thrive in close-knit groups, so they often come to see their caregiver as a trusted source of comfort, protection, and support. Over time, the caregiver provides not only daily care and nourishment but also a sense of security and reassurance that helps the young elephant feel safe and loved 💓
🇺🇦 Russian soldiers surrendered with the help of a Ukrainian drone
The POWs said their commanders were sending them into suicide assaults and threatening to "zero them out" if they refused.
At their position, they found a leaflet with instructions on how to surrender, laid down their weapons, and waited for a Ukrainian drone, which guided them safely away from the front line.
Now they are urging other Russians not to sign military contracts, avoid the war, and, if already at the front, surrender.
“If you see one of these leaflets, follow the instructions. Everything will be fine — a drone will come, guide you out safely, and you'll be welcomed and given water,” one of the soldiers said.
Russia has now lost four elections in a row: in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, and now Armenia.
What's more, no one expected the margin in Armenia to be so large. This suggests that Armenians have lost faith in Russia and are distancing themselves from it.
I do not believe Russia will take military action against Armenia. The military base poses no threat, and Russia itself is exhausted by the war it is waging against Ukraine.
Through its heroic resistance, Ukraine is also giving other nations and states a chance to break free from Russia.
I believe Georgia may be next in attempting to remove pro-Russian forces.
Armenia's break with Russia will strengthen Turkey and its influence in the region. That is good news.
In addition, sources believe that the defeat in Armenia could be used by the Kremlin to oust the so-called "Armenian lobby" within the Russian leadership: to weaken, remove its members from office, and cut them off from financial flows.
The main names mentioned are Mikhail Mishustin, Russian prime minister, and Sergey Lavrov, Russian foreign minister.
Russia continues to lose ground and its influence.

History is made as Pope Leo XIV becomes the first Pope to address the Spanish Parliament, saying:
“I come before you as the Bishop of Rome and Shepherd of the Catholic Church, aware that the mission entrusted to the Successor of the Apostle Peter, as the pricinple and foundation of the unity of the bishops and the faithful, places the Holy See in a special way in dialogue with peoples and with states.”

“Si la vida deja de ser reconocida como un valor fundamental, ¿Qué futuro pueden tener nuestras sociedades?¿Puede llamarse plenamente justa una comunidad que deja en la sombra al niño aún no nacido, al anciano, al enfermo, a quien sufre en silencio?”

Pope Leo XIV to the Bishops of Spain gives a beautiful reflection on the Eucharist:
“The Bread of the Word and of the Eucharist are even more necessary to us than material food because they open for us the way to salvation. It is not a matter of how to make the celebration more or less attractive; it is about feeling that, if we are part of Him, His absence causes in us a restlessness comparable to physical hunger. The sacramental life gives rhythm to our existence, like that of a child receiving nourishment from its mother, or like that of an athlete gauging the strength needed to reach the finish line.”
King Charles III welcomes many foreign leaders to the UK. None receive a welcome like he affords Zelensky: In the royal family's private quarters, bedecked with whimsical heirlooms, in Windsor Castle.
King Charles's very existence is about optics. And he knows what he is doing.

El Papa León hizo estallar en aplausos a decenas de miles de personas en el Bernabéu al improvisar estas palabras durante su encuentro con la comunidad diocesana de Madrid: “Queridos hermanos, queridas hermanas, buenas tardes. Yo supongo que para un jugador de fútbol hacer un gol en este estadio es algo que les marca un poco la vida. Pero hoy la Iglesia de Madrid ha hecho un golazo para siempre”. Su emoción es contagiosa.
