Overview

  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov rejected Kyiv’s call for an unconditional ceasefire, insisting on resolving “deep-rooted” issues like Ukraine’s NATO ambitions and control of annexed territories even as Russian shelling in Kharkiv and Soumy killed and injured civilians.
  • On June 1, Ukraine executed Operation “Spider Web,” deploying FPV drones across Siberian airbases to damage or destroy at least 41 Russian strategic bombers at Belaya, Olenya and other sites.
  • Ukraine’s Security Service claimed on June 3 to have detonated 1,100 kg of TNT under a support pillar of the 19-kilometer Kerch Bridge, inflicting severe damage and shutting traffic for several hours.
  • A Ukrainian delegation met in Washington on June 3 to seek expanded military and economic aid from President Trump’s administration, but Trump told Vladimir Putin the next day that there would be no “immediate” peace and he held off on new sanctions.
  • Moscow labeled recent railway explosions in Kursk and Bryansk as terrorism—a stance echoed by Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro—while France announced €1.5 billion in defense guarantees and €200 million for Ukraine’s infrastructure recovery.
