It is important that the world does not remain silent in response to this latest act of Russian barbarism. This strike on the Lavra is an attack on the Christian community and on the cultural heritage of humanity. There can be no justification for this or for any other similar Russian attacks. What is needed is more cooperation to stop Russia’s war and stronger protection to save lives from Russia.
Russia set fire to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra overnight—the monastery where Yuriy Dolgorukiy, the prince who founded Moscow, lies buried.
A UNESCO site older than Moscow itself, now burning.

Щойно провів чудову розмову з Президентом Сполучених Штатів Дональдом Трампом. Я привітав Президента Трампа з днем народження, і ми доволі детально обговорили багато ключових речей, серед яких, звісно, мир. Я побажав Президенту Трампу успіхів, насамперед у його зусиллях щодо завершення війни Росії проти України. Також подякував йому за всю підтримку, яку Америка надає Україні, і важливо, що ми з вдячністю пам’ятаємо кожен крок цієї підтримки, від Javelinʼів до Patriotʼів.
Ми обговорили те, що може допомогти наблизити мир зараз, і я поінформував Президента про останні події на полі бою та про те, як зміцнилася наша позиція. Домовились, що обговоримо більше під час нашої зустрічі на саміті G7. У нас є деякі хороші ідеї, які можуть допомогти наблизити мир і захистити життя. Дякую!
I have just had a great conversation with @POTUS. I congratulated President Trump on his birthday, and we have had quite a detailed discussion about many key things – peace, surely, was among them. I wished President Trump every success, above all in his work to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. I also thanked him for all the support America has been providing to Ukraine, and it does matter that we remember with gratitude every step of that support – from Javelins to Patriots.
We discussed things that could help bring about peace now, and I informed the President about the latest developments on the battlefield and how our position has strengthened. We agreed that we will discuss more during our meeting at the G7 Summit. We have some good ideas that could help advance peace and protect lives. Thank you!

The fire at Rybinsk wouldn't go out — and then the rain turned to oil. After a Ukrainian drone strike set the ROsrezerv's oil depot burning in Russia's Yaroslavl Oblast, oily droplets began falling over the city.
Russians have learned what that smell means. In late April, Perm residents wiped the same dark stains off their cars after drones torched a Transneft pumping station. Before that, Tuapse choked on it when an oil farm went up.

Closer look at the Liutyi drone striking the burning plant in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia
The target was the Federal Government Custodial Institution "Combinat 'Temp'." The facility belongs to Rosrezerv, Russia's state reserves agency, and is used in part to store fuel. The same combine was already hit once before, on 31 December 2025.

Sweden's air force scrambled JAS 39 Gripen fighters twice on 13 June to intercept Russian Su-24 and Su-34 aircraft over the Baltic Sea. Allied jets joined the operations. Swedish airspace was not violated. "Russia's behaviour...indicates a repeated pattern," said Eva Skoog Haslum.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Russian drones struck multiple communities in Ukraine's Sumy Oblast, hitting civilian infrastructure including a truck, a farm, and residential housing, leaving several people injured and damaging livestock.
In the Sadivska community, five people were wounded in a strike on a farm, while Berezivka and Bilopillia also reported impacts on civilian sites.
Russia continues to use strike drones against non-military targets in frontline border regions, where civilian infrastructure is regularly exposed to attacks.
Emergency services extinguished all fires at the impact sites.

At least 200 Russian soldiers aged 18 are among more than 226,000 confirmed war dead in Ukraine, according to a new investigation.
Regional data shows disproportionate losses in poorer regions, while analysts say real fatalities could be far higher.
