On new satellite images, the hangar which was struck by Ukrainian drones at Morozovsk Air base in Russia has dissapeared. One or two Su-34 were stationed in there.

Satellite images confirm partial destruction of the oil depot in the city of Azov, Rostov region in Russia after the UAV attack overnight. Two tanks burned down, another third might be affected.

Ukraine will receive 54 RCH 155 self-propelled howitzers, instead of the 36 announced in February this year, weapons manufacturer KNDS reports. https://www.knds.de/news-media/pressemitteilungen/detail/knds-bietet-die-komplette-bandbreite-bewaehrter-artilleriesysteme/

Hungary has lifted its veto on Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte becoming NATO's next Secretary General after Rutte provided written assurances to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán that Hungary would not be forced to participate in new NATO plans to support Ukraine. Current Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, whose term ends on October 1, confirmed that NATO is nearing consensus on Rutte's candidacy. Romania is the only remaining NATO member out of 32 that has not yet supported Rutte.

Horror meets terror.

Zelenskyi's evening speech

--

Today, first and foremost, I want to give special recognition to our warriors. All those who succeeded in turning this page of the war — a page that Putin was eager to dedicate to his offensive and which became yet another mistake for Russia. Everyone who is defending the Kharkiv direction, who is restraining the Russian attacks in the Pokrovsk and other Donetsk directions, and along the entire frontline — from Krynky to Vovchansk, and also along the border in the Sumy region. It is Ukrainian courage and resilience that determine the situation — it is what we can do, not what Russia wants or has tried to do.

This is another significant result of Ukraine, of our people in this war, and I thank everyone who is truly fulfilling combat orders and performing combat missions to the fullest. I thank all those who are personally bearing the brunt of repelling Russian attacks. I thank everyone who has helped and continues to help. We witness the world's determination opening new prospects for restoring our security. Among other things, this includes the security of Kharkiv. The destruction of Russian terrorists' positions and launchers by our forces, our warriors, near the border really matters.

It is working. Exactly as we expected. And based on the results of the battles right now — in June — on different parts of the front, I would like to thank all our soldiers, sergeants and officers of the 1st separate assault battalion, the 5th separate assault brigade, the 25th separate airborne brigade, the 35th, 36th and 38th separate marine brigades. You all did a great job, warriors! The 44th artillery brigade, the 47th mechanized brigade, the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade, the 71st jaeger brigade, the 82nd airborne assault brigade, the 108th territorial defense brigade, and the 110th separate mechanized brigade. Thank you! And to all those who stand with you. Who helps, who supports, who treats the wounded, who volunteers. Who recruits and trains soldiers. Thank you! Together, Ukrainians are changing history in their favor.

Good reports are coming in from both Hlyboke and Lukyantsi in the Kharkiv region. The AFU managed to increase their area of control significantly.

The fire at the oil depot in Azov is still going on. Apparently, firemen haven't been able to extinguish the fire.

Air defense active in occupied Crimea. Kerch bridge = closed.

UAVs over the Sea of Azov towards Taganrog/Rostov again. Second try at the Azov oil depot that is burning still?

18-year old (!) Georgiy Nadein, a Russian student at the Volga State University, died in in Ukraine. He was scheduled for a vacation on June 18, but two days prior, he was killed, Russian channels report. When he turned 18 last february, he applied for military service and got sent to the front immediately after.

When will they understand that if you're being sent to Ukraine, it doesn't bring anything, except a high possibility of death.

Good night everyone, sleep well. See you tomorrow.

Good morning ☀️
