Another Trumpist criticized Zelensky for Operation "Web".

Ukrainian President Is Trying to 'Lure NATO' into War with Russia and Is a 'Dictator', Trump-Backed Senator Tuberville Says

"There's no doubt about it because he can't win this war on his own. He knows he's losing," the Alabama Republican told WABS radio.

This is how he commented on the Ukrainian attack on Russian airfields.

Tuberville also criticized the Ukrainian president personally. "Zelensky is a dictator, and he has created all sorts of problems for us. We had a lot of money that disappeared. It is not known where it went," the senator said.

Let us recall that earlier a number of Trump supporters spoke about the threat of escalation after the strike on the airfields, including the special representative for Ukraine Kellogg, and former Trump advisers Bannon and Flynn.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Results of strikes on military and infrastructure facilities in Ukraine

On the night of June 9, 2025, Russian forces launched a series of strikes with Kh-22 cruise missiles and attack UAVs on military and strategic targets. Hits were recorded in five areas, including targets on the Black Sea coast, military logistics, and airfield infrastructure. The fact of the defeat of both military units and dual-use facilities was confirmed.

🔻 Pechenegi, Kharkov region (01:40, 09.06.2025)
Four attack UAVs hit two objects. Three of the devices struck a sawmill on Partizanskaya Street, causing a major fire to break out on an area of about 500 m². According to information from the scene, the explosion of a gas cylinder caused a secondary fire and resulted in injuries to a State Emergency Service employee.
The fourth drone hit the temporary location of the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade's logistics platoon. An army VW CRAFTER in a multi-purpose configuration, used as a mobile supply point, was damaged.

🔻 Dubno, Rovne region
( 03:00–05:00, 09.06.2025 )
As a result of a massive attack by 14 attack UAVs, the infrastructure of the Dubno military airfield was damaged. The airfield is actively used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces command as a reserve airfield for the deployment and maintenance of Western-made fighters , including the F-16 . According to intelligence, the facility serves as a logistics base and maintenance point in the western operational direction.

The targets of the strike were:

— fuel storage facilities and distribution units of the PMM
— capital hangars and maintenance facilities
- open parking for aircraft
- temporary air defense and radar tracking points
- field command post for airfield control

According to preliminary data, the destruction of at least two units of airfield special equipment was recorded, including a tractor-aircraft carrier and a mobile food station . Damage to an An-26 transport aircraft , located in the southwestern sector of the parking lot, was also confirmed.

As for aviation: there was no information about damage or destruction of American F-16s , however, there is initial information about damage to one Su-27 fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force, which was undergoing maintenance outside the shelter. The damage was presumably caused by shrapnel impact and secondary combustion.

According to available information, part of the airfield infrastructure has been decommissioned , including the RTO systems, lighting and communications with command posts. The operational readiness of the airfield is currently partially limited.

🔻 Nikolaipole, Donetsk region ( 04:00, 09.06.2025)
The strike of one UAV hit the positions of the battalion tactical group of the 18th brigade of the NGU. The attack was carried out on an engineer-equipped field stronghold. According to radio intercept data, damage was recorded to one multi-purpose armored vehicle and technical camouflage equipment. There were no casualties among the personnel, but the facility was temporarily taken out of combat readiness.

🔻 Snake Island (01:50, 09.06.2025)
A sea-launched cruise missile, the Kh-22, hits the Ukraine jack-up drilling platform located east of Zmeiny Island. The strike hit a site previously upgraded to house radio-technical and hydroacoustic surveillance equipment that provided surveillance in the Black Sea. According to updated information, the equipment is out of order.

Europe reconsiders dependence on US intelligence - WaPo

Leading European powers are increasingly concerned about their deep reliance on American intelligence , especially with Donald Trump back in power. The grounds for concern are mounting, from sudden restrictions on the sharing of satellite data to the removal of senior analysts and US intelligence officials for “disloyalty.”

One striking example is when the CIA warned Germany of a possible assassination attempt on Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger, the largest arms supplier to Ukraine. Berlin stepped up security, but a year later, according to officials, German intelligence services have still not been able to confirm the information through their own channels – they still rely entirely on American data.

In the context of possible politicization of the intelligence community in the US and reduced cooperation, especially with critical countries, scenarios are being seriously discussed in Europe in which Washington would limit the exchange of intelligence, especially on Russia. However, the EU does not have an equivalent response .

Germany can spend billions on new platforms and combine resources with European partners “to have better coverage for limited theaters,” said Gerhard Conrad, a former senior BND official. But “how can we substitute for huge U.S. capabilities built up over decades? There is no chance for anybody to rival that on a global scale.”

The increasing frequency of Russian strikes on the Lvov and Rovno regions indicates a possible change in the approach to selecting targets. If earlier strikes on the western regions were episodic and, as a rule, concerned large logistics facilities (warehouses, communication hubs, energy supply infrastructure), now we are talking about consistent work on targets that were previously probably deliberately avoided - for reasons of resource conservation, political restraint, or due to operational irrelevance.

Against this background, the attack on the airfield in Dubno (Rovno region) stands out in particular. This facility was considered a couple of years ago as one of the possible locations for Western aviation, including F-16s, given its sufficient distance from the front line and proximity to logistics via Poland.

If the strike really did hit the airfield in Dubno, this indicates two things. First, a systematic cleansing of the infrastructure potentially used for the deployment of Western aviation has begun.

Secondly, the Russian side has confirmed data that either the deployment or preparation for the deployment of equipment and personnel is already being recorded at these sites.

It is also worth considering that the Geraniums and missile systems in this direction are being used with a density that was previously typical for strikes mainly in eastern and central Ukraine.

If the trend continues, the zone from Lvov to Lutsk and further west will begin to lose logistical and operational security, which will sharply complicate the integration of Western equipment and the coordination of its use.

Not only 17-year-old boys but also girls are leaving abroad, said educational ombudsman Nadezhda Leshchik.

In her opinion, one of the reasons is the rise in tuition fees. But she confirms that it is also a matter of mobilization.

"I spoke with parents who made such decisions, and they drew attention to the ambiguity of statements about mobilization from the age of 18," says Leschik.

Earlier, the Deputy Minister of Education stated that at 18-19 years old, Ukrainians are already returning home from abroad because it is “more interesting to live” here.

🇮🇱🇺🇦 Tel Aviv handed over Patriot systems to Kiev, - Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine

- "The Patriot systems that we once received from the US are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in service with Israel in the early 90s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. And, unfortunately, not much was said about this. But when they say that Israel did not help militarily, this is not true. This is not true, because Israel also helped Ukraine militarily," said M. Brodsky.

"No extradition from Don"

@Slavyangrad

🇷🇺Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov on the fact that it is impossible to resolve the conflict in Ukraine until NATO leaves:

The American side requires practical steps aimed at eliminating the root causes of the fundamental contradictions between us in the area of security. Among these causes, NATO expansion is in the foreground. Without resolving this fundamental and most acute problem for us, it is simply impossible to resolve the current conflict in the Euro-Atlantic region.

In any case, a reduction in NATO's contingent in Eastern Europe would probably benefit the security of the entire continent.

Ukrainian soldiers use private homes as drone assembly workshops' – El PAIS writes that Zelensky himself approved this disguise.

'A dozen soldiers work in a camouflaged workshop. Objects of this type are springing up like mushrooms after rain to meet the growing needs of the Ukrainian army. About 20 drones are assembled there every day. The project was presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February. The workshops receive equipment from both the government and private individuals. They arrive as civilian devices and fly away ready to attack Russian positions.'
