Want to see the original concept art I created for this #ZARU piece 👀!
Yes, I am not much of an artist, especially in the face department, but I was able to carry my vision through to my talented artist friend, @1025Hourai 🙏🫶!
The art turned out incredible!

Ukraine has successfully attacked Russia's Baltic Sea Fleet Headquarters in Kronstadt just outside Saint Petersburg. Ukraine's long range drones are devastating Russia's energy infrastructure. Ukraine's medium range drones are cutting off all supplies and logistics to the occupied territories and Ukraine's FPV drone wall has inflicted over 31,000 casualties for the Russians on the frontlines in May. Putin is afraid and refuses to meet with Zelensky.
My YouTube update for Saturday, June 6th

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.
On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.
Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened.
Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself.
Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!
Completely blown away by this.
Today I was recognised by President Zelenskyy with the Order of Merit. A profound honour.
Right now powerful people want the truth about Ukraine buried. It’s a privilege to be able to tell it. ❤️🇺🇦🔥
It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.
Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.
And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.
I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
Another 185 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. One civilian is also returning along with the defenders. They are warriors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine – privates, sergeants, and officers. They defended our state in Mariupol and at Azovstal, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kyiv, and Kursk sectors. Among them are those returning after years in Russian captivity, where they had been held since 2022.
I thank everyone who makes this possible: the team working on exchanges and our partners. And special gratitude to the warriors who replenish our exchange fund – who, through their strength and results on the frontline, ensure the return of our people home. The work continues. The return of our people is a constant priority for Ukraine. Every day, we are working to free every Ukrainian man and woman from captivity.
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
The list of Russia’s latest “victories” over the past few days has grown to include the Yagotynske for Children plant, which produced food products for children. In the Kyiv region, rescue efforts are ongoing at the site of this strike – units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine have already extinguished the fire. As of now, seven people have been reported injured. Tragically, four people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Also on this list are food warehouses and a postal facility in the Dnipro region, an ambulance in Kherson, a school building in the Sumy region, port infrastructure in the Odesa region, ordinary residential buildings, and an outpatient clinic building in the Kharkiv region.
Russia continues its war against life, and everyone who helps us is truly standing up to defend it. Every support package with anti-ballistic defense, every joint agreement on weapons production, every step the world takes in sanctions against Russia – all of this helps protect people’s lives. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! It is important for all of us together to force Russia to end their war and move toward diplomacy.
🕯💔 Russia has killed 707 children since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, while another 2,548 have been injured, President Zelenskyy said.
The youngest child killed was just two days old - born and killed in a maternity hospital.
Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets also stated that 2,318 children remain missing. According to him, the real numbers could be significantly higher, as Ukraine still does not know the full truth about what has happened in the temporarily occupied territories.

😠 1.6 million Ukrainian children have lived under Russian occupation since 2014, with 742,000 forcibly relocated or deported to Russia between Feb and Dec 2022 alone, Ukraine's ombudsman says.
