Just How Intense Was the Latest Russian Attack on Kyiv?—

The full scale of Russia’s mass attack on June 2 has now been revealed: More than 70 missiles and 650 drones were launched across Ukraine, killing at least 23 people and wounding 130, with Kyiv and Dnipro among the hardest-hit cities.

Ukraine says its defenses shot down or neutralized 602 drones and 40 missiles, but the attack still damaged high-rise buildings, a kindergarten, a clinic, offices and power infrastructure, leaving 140,000 people without electricity in Kyiv. More than 40,000 residents took shelter in the metro, the largest such number in recent years. Zelensky warned another large-scale attack could follow.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: We have also achieved very important results thanks to our mid- and deep strikes. Russia is facing a clear shortage of fuel in the temporarily occupied territories and in parts of central Russia, as well as serious disruptions in its logistics.

So, with this pressure, we are forcing Russia to choose between diplomacy and further losses. It is important that Russia is faced with this very choice. And now Russia has only one, last, argument left – ballistic missiles. Only one.

AIR RAID ALERT IN KYIV 🇺🇦🚨 means everything shuts down!

Malls, schools, bridges, public transport - EVERYTHING shuts down and everybody has to leave.

This can repeat many times EVERY SINGLE DAY‼️

War is not only about weapons - it’s about denying people the right to life‼️

Breaking news: Donald Trump’s pick for Acting DNI, Bill Pulte, is dangerously unqualified for the role.

This move threatens the independence of our intelligence community and the safety of all Americans.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.

He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.

Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! https://t.co/6JiiVjIv3F

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the Epstein files?

BLANCHE: We have complied with the law

DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. And you know what you said to me? 'They include another guy named Epstein.' Nobody is buying it

*the time of the gentlelady has expired*

DEAN: I beg your pardon? How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this? What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up.

❗️❗️❗️BIG - Ukraine's Armed Forces will receive a domestically produced anti-ballistic missile based on the FP-7 ballistic rocket, which may play a key role in intercepting Russian Kinzhal aeroballistic or Iskander-type ballistic missiles by the Ukrainian long-range air defense system.

🚀 In the footage, you can see the test launch of the Ukrainian ballistic missile FP-7 "Pelican", developed on the basis of the 48N6 (5V55) family of anti-aircraft missiles intended for the S-300 surface-to-air missile system.

According to Irina Terekh, Technical Director of Fire Point company, this missile should serve as the foundation for the future Ukrainian anti-ballistic interceptor (surface-to-air missile) being developed under the FREYJA project.

▪️ It is likely that Ukraine no longer considers the FP-7 as a direct strike ballistic missile, and it has been reoriented for use in surface-to-air missile systems — returning to the role where its predecessor began. A more powerful and longer-range ballistic missile, the FP-9 (with a range of 700-800 km), will be used as a full-fledged ballistic weapon.

🎯 The presence of its own ballistic missiles in the hands of Ukraine's Armed Forces, with Western technological support and assistance, poses a very serious threat to Russian critical military and economic facilities located hundreds of kilometers behind the front line. Russian air defense systems are unable to effectively combat such types of targets, as Ukrainian kamikaze drones and cruise missiles successfully demonstrate every day.

We can't trust this corrupt administration at their word.

That's why @SenAdamSchiff, @SenatorSlotkin, and I introduced legislation to ban Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund for good.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with @Keir_Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. We are preparing for negotiations and meetings, and this includes both weapons for our defense and our diplomacy – our joint diplomacy with Europe – to bring the war closer to an end. Europe definitely needs its own voice, its own position, and its own contribution to all diplomatic efforts that can help end the war. We coordinated on how to get there.

I also thanked Keir for the recent package of sanctions that will limit Russian cryptocurrency schemes. It is absolutely essential that all forms of pressure on the aggressor be further strengthened. I am grateful to the United Kingdom for its support!

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has been spotted in Moscow.

At this point, nobody should be surprised.

For years, Schröder served as one of Putin's most valuable assets in the West. While millions of Europeans believed they were building peace through economic cooperation, the Kremlin was building leverage, influence, and dependency.

The result was catastrophic. Germany became dependent on russian energy, and Europe helped Putin grow his war machine.

Ukraine repeatedly warned that Nord Stream was not an economic project but a geopolitical weapon. Those warnings were ignored.

Today, after hundreds of thousands of casualties, destroyed cities, abducted children, and countless war crimes, Schröder is back in Moscow.

History should remember that Putin did not build his influence in Europe alone. He had help: politicians, executives, lobbyists, and intellectuals who convinced themselves that profit was more important than principles.

Do not fall for the narrative of a frozen conflict as a path to peace in Ukraine.

A freeze is Russia's smartest strategic option to recover from its battlefield failures and cripple Ukraine from afar.

Well over four years into this full-scale invasion, Russia is facing undeniable failure. Yet, because admitting defeat is politically impossible for the Kremlin, they are looking for alternatives. Their choices are narrowed down to escalation or a strategic freeze.

Further escalation is likely, but it will not reverse Russia's long-term decline. A frozen conflict, on the other hand, gives Russia a lot of what it needs while hurting Ukraine's peace-time potential.

If the conflict freezes, Ukraine enters a state of permanent limbo. The nation remains trapped in a technical state of war and emergency. This environment repels foreign capital, makes national reconstruction hard, and blocks the path to Western security alliances.

As stated by Anders Puck Nielsen, a freeze also robs Ukraine of its key economic leverage. Right now, Ukraine is systematically dismantling the Russian war economy through highly effective deep-strike campaigns against oil refineries and defense factories. An energy infrastructure ceasefire would halt these operations, giving Russia the exact breathing room it needs to fix its economy and rebuild its shattered army.

Ukraine knows a frozen conflict is a slow death sentence, and their strategic behavior reflects this awareness. The civilized world must stand firm with them and reject any settlement that lets Russia reset the board

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

From air defenses to UAV production sites, @usf_army continue to dismantle Russia’s war machine.

Recent strikes hit a Pantsir-S1 air defense system, coastal radar stations, command posts, specialized vessels, troop and equipment concentrations, and facilities involved in drone production.

Every target matters. Every strike counts.

Ukraine is Forcing Russia to Choose: Food or War?—

Russia spent May boasting that it had shot down nearly 9,000 Ukrainian drones, but the fuel market is telling a less triumphant story. Ukrainian strikes on refineries, ports, pipelines, and fuel infrastructure have pushed Russian oil processing to its lowest level in more than 16 years, while diesel output fell another 10% in May after a similar drop in April.

Moscow has now temporarily banned exports of aviation kerosene until November 30, 2026, officially to stabilize the domestic market. In practice, it is another sign that Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is no longer just producing spectacular fires for viewers to watch on Telegram. It is forcing the Kremlin to choose between exports, domestic supply, agriculture, aviation, and the war machine itself.

🇺🇦🚀Ukraine is currently producing 3 FP-5 Flamingos and 300 FP-1/2s daily.

This is the impressive growth of Ukraine’s domestic drone manufacturing capabilities. Producing over 300 FP-1/2 strike drones per day, along with the more advanced FP-5 Flamingos, demonstrates a very high rate of output. This scale of production significantly strengthens Ukraine’s ability to conduct sustained long-range strikes on Russian rear areas and logistics.

Говорив з Премʼєр-міністром Норвегії. Вдячний Йонасу за підтримку та слова співчуття через загибель наших людей напередодні від російської масованої атаки. Двадцять три людини були вбиті російськими ракетами та дронами, ще 151 людина поранена. Важливо, що Україна не наодинці, коли Росія завдає таких терористичних ударів.

Ми обговорили постачання для ППО: Норвегія готова допомагати. Дякую! Працюємо і щоб в Європі були свої антибалістичні спроможності. Це наше спільне завдання маємо виконати повністю і забезпечити Європі власну достатньо сильну систему для захисту від балістичних загроз. Коли Європа буде захищеною від балістики, це додасть упевненості не просто комусь одному на нашому континенті, а реально всім європейцям. Готуємось і до зустрічей найближчим часом – будуть спеціальні формати нашої роботи. Дякую, Норвегіє!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with the Prime Minister of Norway. I am grateful to @jonasgahrstore for his support and words of condolence over the loss of our people the day before as a result of Russia’s massive attack. Twenty-three people were killed by Russian missiles and drones, and another 151 were wounded. It is important that Ukraine is not alone when Russia carries out such terrorist strikes.

We discussed air defense supplies – Norway is ready to help, thank you! We are also working to ensure that Europe has its own anti-ballistic capabilities – we must fully accomplish this shared task and provide Europe with its own system strong enough to protect against ballistic threats. When Europe is protected against ballistic missiles, it will boost confidence not just for someone alone on our continent, but truly for all Europeans. We are also preparing for meetings in the near future – there will be special formats for our work. Thank you, Norway!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Yesterday, and from just one massive attack, Russia killed 23 people in our country, including children. The Russians used a large number of drones – more than 650 during the night and around 100 more during the day. But the most dangerous threat is, of course, missiles.

Russia has the capacity to produce around 120 ballistic missiles every month. And that is just ballistic missiles. Russia also produces other types of missiles. This means that every month they can launch several large-scale massive attacks on top of the constant missile terror they already carry out.

It's clear that this is the greatest threat we face right now.
