‼️ The upcoming prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine, scheduled for June 7–9, will take place in a "1200-for-1200" format, Medinsky told Putin in a briefing. Meanwhile, Lavrov accused Ukraine of "provocations aimed at disrupting negotiations," urging others "not to give in" to them.

🇷🇺 Putin: “Not long ago, Kyiv and its allies dreamed of Russia’s strategic defeat. Now, retreating with heavy losses, they turn to terrorism while asking for a 30- or 60-day ceasefire. How can talks proceed under such conditions? Who negotiates with those betting on terror, only to use a pause to rearm and prepare new attacks?”

🇳🇱 The Netherlands has announced a new €400M military aid package for Ukraine focused on maritime security. It includes over 100 vessels—patrol boats, interceptors, special operations ships—and 50+ maritime drones, along with weapons systems, sensors, spare parts, and training.

🇷🇺 Russia is producing ammunition four times faster than all of NATO combined, warns NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He urges Allies to boost defence spending as the Russian threat grows faster than the West’s response: “They produce in 3 months what we do in a year. We must act.”

🇺🇸🇺🇦 In Washington, Head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office Andriy Yermak met with U.S. Secretary of State and acting National Security Advisor Marco Rubio.

Talks focused on frontline updates, air defense needs, POW exchange, and Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children.

"Ukraine’s ready for a ceasefire—Russia isn’t. More sanctions needed," Yermak added.

The SBU has released new footage from Operation “Spiderweb,” revealing FPV drone strikes on 22 Russian aircraft, including 7 Tu-95s, 12 Tu-22M3s, 2 A-50s, and 1 An-12. Analysis by CyberBoroshno suggests the actual number of damaged planes could be higher, as satellite images showed 8 Tu-95 hits and not all videos have been made public.

Many strikes lack clear aftermath footage, which could indicate either limited damage without fire, destruction that wasn’t captured, or FPV drones that failed to detonate.

🇩🇪 German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Germany will fund the production of long-range weapons in Ukraine.

He noted a significant share could be manufactured this year, alongside continued support with air defence systems, ammunition, repair facilities, and satellite communications.

🇺🇸 President Trump says he had a 75-minute call with Putin, discussing Ukrainian strikes on Russian airfields and broader attacks from both sides.

Putin "strongly" vowed to respond. They also talked Iran’s nuclear program, with Trump saying “time is running out” and Putin offering to help mediate.

Notice how Trump used 'docked airplanes', as if these planes never posed a threat to Ukraine.

🇷🇺 Kremlin aide Ushakov said that Putin told Trump that Kyiv is "attempting to derail Russian-Ukrainian negotiations" and is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure. Trump reportedly assured Putin that the U.S. was unaware of Ukraine’s plans to strike Russian airfields.

❗️The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv warns of potential large-scale air attacks. Due to intensified Russian missile and drone strikes in recent weeks, the embassy urges U.S. citizens to remain vigilant and seek shelter immediately when air alerts sound.

🇺🇦 Ukraine will establish joint defense ventures abroad with partners, Defense Minister Umerov announced after the Ramstein meeting.

All weapons produced will be transferred to Ukraine during the war. Ukrainian firms will invest in Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) countries, while UDCG companies will build plants in Ukraine.

🇺🇦 Marines of the 36th Brigade destroyed 3 ATVs and eliminated 5 Russian troops during an assault in the Sumy direction. Russian forces continue active offensives across multiple fronts, with intensified focus on Donetsk and Sumy regions.
