[Korrespondent] 22.36 The possible negotiation process between Ukraine and Russia should involve the United States and European partners, who can act as security guarantors and influence the future security architecture in Europe. This is stated in an open letter from President Volodymyr Zelensky to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
22.17 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Russian ruler Vladimir Putin not to continue the war in 2027 and 2028. This is stated in an open letter from the Ukrainian leader to the Russian dictator.
"We have seen intelligence documents that you are now considering war plans for 2027 and 2028. We also know that you hope that ballistics will do for you what everything else has not. You want to drag Belarus even further into the war, and now we are forced to prepare for that as well.
"We see that you are playing some kind of game with Transnistria. Your propagandists are threatening all of Russia's neighbors in one way or another. Do you really want to go through all this?" Zelensky writes.
21.59 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an open letter, suggested that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin set a date and meet to end the war.
"Ukraine proposes to end the war in the format between us and you. I offer you a meeting. Everyone heard your representatives, smiling, saying that I could come to Moscow. But after such 26 years, the Ukrainian leader in your capital, like the Russian leader in Kyiv, has nothing to do," Zelenskyy said.
According to the president, there are countries that traditionally host leaders to resolve issues of war and peace, including Switzerland, Turkey, and the countries of the Arab world. "Many can and want to host this meeting," the head of state noted.
Zelensky added that it is the leaders who decide key issues, it has always been and will always be so. "I propose to set a clear date for the meeting," the president wrote to Putin.
"Ukraine is ready to cease fire completely - for the time when negotiations continue. And this is standard practice, which is now confirmed by the circumstances around Iran. An attempt to establish real silence is the best start to start talking to each other. We believe that this will not just be an attempt, but a real ceasefire, if you want it," the president emphasized.
21.46 The Russians struck Ukraine with Oreshnik so that it would be convenient to see how "the blocks were placed" in order to make a decision about a "full-fledged" missile launch in the future. This was stated by the ruler of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.
According to the Kremlin leader, there was supposedly "no combat use of Oreshnik" on the territory of Ukraine.
"We tested similar systems at testing grounds, but we did not test Oreshnik. And this is not combat use. In fact, we have not had any combat use of Oreshnik in the full sense of the word on the territory of Ukraine. And the last thing, to be honest, I will reveal to you a big military state secret - they simply hit where it was convenient to see the results," Putin said.
The Russian leader added that this applies to strikes on Bila Tserkva and the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region. According to him, Russian troops then sent drones to the places of strikes and looked "how the diverging blocks were placed".
"We hit the barn to see how the blocks were laid, this is necessary for the future use of the weapon... Then our drones flew there - into this barn that was hit, and simply looked at how the separate blocks were laid. We counted to the millimeter. Everything, where. It is important for us to make decisions in the future about the full-scale use of Oreshnik. For the intended purposes, including in the area of urban development," Putin added.
21.19 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz should negotiate on behalf of the European Union to end Russia's war against Ukraine, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said.
According to him, continuing the conflict will not bring "anything good," and at the same time, it is obvious that the aggressor is Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, while US President Donald Trump is focused on the Middle East and resolving the issue of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
"In my opinion, it is German Chancellor Merz who should somehow lead a diplomatic mission based on the mandate of the Council and the Commission," Babis said.
21.02 Ukrainian military took control of Donetsk airport and blocked the enemy's military-logistical hub for launching Shahed suicide drones. This was reported by the 1st Separate Center of Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Russian occupiers have transformed the territory of Donetsk airport into a military-logistics hub. This facility has also become a key launch site for the Shahed missiles.
Ukrainian strike drone operators systematically burned down enemy infrastructure, making the full functioning of the airfield impossible. The fighters destroyed launchers, transport vehicles and eliminated the occupants' calculations directly on the runway.
The Ukrainian military also hit engineering equipment, fuel tankers, property warehouses and construction cranes. Due to the damage to logistics nodes, the occupants' airfield ecosystem was completely degraded.
20.59 Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready for a peace agreement with Ukraine based on compromises allegedly agreed during Russian-American talks in Anchorage. According to him, the consent of the Ukrainian side is necessary to end the war. The corresponding statement of the Russian dictator was published by Russian media.
20.49 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov complained that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's words about supporting Ukraine demonstrate that "Biden's war" has become "Trump's war."
20:30 A video of the first minutes after the Ukrainian strike on the Russian Baltic Fleet corvette Boyky in the port of Kronstadt in St. Petersburg has been published online. The footage shows a fire on board the ship and screams, obscene exclamations and panic can be heard.
According to Defence Express, the corvette Boyky was in dry dock. The ship was hit in the middle of the hull - in the area of the bridge and tower-mast structure.
This area contains the main radio-electronic equipment of the Project 20380 corvette. In particular, these include navigation and surveillance radars, artillery and missile control systems, as well as the electronic warfare complex.
Analysts believe that the devastating consequences of a fire following a drone attack could have been much more serious for the corvette than the warhead explosions themselves. This is due to the fact that fire spreads easily through ventilation ducts, cable infrastructure, and the space between decks.
19.31 Russia is allegedly ready for peace talks with Ukraine, but "does not see any readiness for dialogue on the Ukrainian side," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
According to him, Russia has allegedly repeatedly stated its readiness to negotiate a settlement to the war, however, "currently there is no party with which such a dialogue could be conducted."
"We have repeatedly stated that we are ready to negotiate on Ukraine, but we do not see any readiness for dialogue on the other side. We cannot find those on the other side with whom we could conduct a dialogue," Lavrov said.
18.24 Several employees of the Uzhhorod district CCC and SP, including the head, were suspected of human rights violations and torture. Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reported this and released a corresponding video.
"In the Uzhhorod RTCC and SP, people were handcuffed to a ladder - several employees were informed of their suspicions. During a monitoring visit to the Uzhhorod RTCC and SP, serious human rights violations were recorded. These materials were transferred to law enforcement agencies by me and my representative - and now there are the first procedural decisions," he wrote.
According to the Ombudsman, the acting head of the Uzhhorod RTCC and SP and the head of the military accounting group were notified of suspicion of abuse of authority and unlawful deprivation of liberty.
Separately, the RTCC instructor was informed about the suspicion of torturing a conscript. This involves illegal detention of people and the use of physical violence. All those involved have been detained, and the issue of preventive measures is being resolved.
17.29 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on European allies to accelerate the delivery of Patriot air defense systems and missiles amid increasing Russian ballistic attacks. He stated this in Kyiv during a joint event with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, writes Politico.
17.00 Fuel shortages due to Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries have spread to at least 15 Russian regions, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. Restrictions on purchasing gasoline at gas stations have also been imposed in five occupied regions of Ukraine.
15.58 During May, Ukrainian energy companies restored electricity supply to over 4 million consumers who were cut off as a result of Russian attacks and hostilities. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Energy.
"Restoration work continued in regions that are systematically subjected to hostile shelling and damage to energy infrastructure. Despite the difficult security situation, energy workers promptly eliminated the consequences of the shelling and restored electricity supply to consumers," the department noted.
The largest number of consumers was supplied by specialists in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhia and Kharkiv regions.
The Ministry of Energy emphasized that Ukrainian energy workers are restoring electricity supply daily in all regions where the security situation allows, restoring light to millions of citizens and maintaining stable operation of the energy system.
15.34 On the night of June 3, the Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked the Russian missile corvette of Project 20380 Boykiy on the territory of the Kronstadt Naval Base in St. Petersburg. Schema published satellite images of the struck ship.
Satellite images from Vantor for June 3, available to journalists, show firefighters trying to put out a fire on board a missile carrier ship in the port of Kronstadt.
Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces hit the Russian corvette Boykiy during an attack on St. Petersburg. According to the command, this is one of the Project 20380 warships, which are designed to combat surface ships, submarines and air targets, as well as to strike coastal targets.
15.27 In Ukraine, eight military units have lost the right to independently conduct basic combined arms training based on the results of inspections. This was announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky.
The BZVP program is constantly updated in accordance with the realities of the modern battlefield. In particular, it already includes practical training in the detection and destruction of small unmanned aerial vehicles, including FPV drones.
"At the same time, no matter how advanced the training program is, the determining factor remains the human factor. Where commanders take care of their subordinates, improve living conditions, develop the training base, where instructors accompany recruits and maintain constant feedback, there is a higher quality of training and fewer cases of unauthorized abandonment of units," said Syrsky.
The inspections were conducted in 72 military units that have the right to independently train recruits. Based on their results, a number of management decisions were made, including tough ones.
Eight military units lost the right to independently conduct basic combined arms training. Individual brigades and regiments were tasked with reviewing their own capabilities and improving the conditions and content of training for recruits.
13.48 Law enforcement officers announced the discovery of eight more schemes to evade mobilization in various regions of Ukraine. 22 suspects were detained. This was reported by the press service of the SBU.
For amounts ranging from $3.5 to $20,000, the dealers offered conscripts the opportunity to avoid conscription through forged documents or helped them escape abroad beyond checkpoints.
13.11 Ukrainian military is forming a fourth echelon of air defense, which will cover two more regions of Ukraine. This was announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, on Telegram.
According to him, currently the second echelon, which is responsible for the Unmanned Systems Forces, is demonstrating the highest performance.
12.50 A suspicion has been reported to a Russian military serviceman with the call sign Talib, a representative of one of the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic, who participated in the torture of civilians in the Berdyansk region. This was reported by the National Police. According to the investigation, in the spring of 2022, the suspect, together with other Russian servicemen, set up a deployment site at the captured stadium in the village of Osipenko, Berdyansk district, which the occupiers used as an illegal place of detention of civilians. In April 2022, armed Russian military personnel broke into the house of a local family.
Threatening to shoot, they demanded information about weapons, and later kidnapped the owner of the house and took him to an equipped torture chamber. The investigation established that the suspect personally participated in the torture of the victim. The man was beaten with a hammer on the head and back, handcuffed to a metal pipe, threatened with murder, and repeatedly simulated execution by shooting him in the head. As a result of the abuse, the victim suffered moderate bodily injuries, as well as severe physical and psychological suffering. In addition, the civilian was illegally detained in inhumane conditions for 43 days without proper food, drinking water, medical care, and access to basic sanitation.
12.37 Officials of the Haisyn District Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support are suspected of entering false information into the Oberig register. The SBI press service reports this.
According to the investigation, officials, having access to the system, changed the data in the electronic cards of those liable for military service without any documentary basis.
