Speaker of Ukraine’s Parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, on the strikes on Russian airbases: “A modern version of the Budapest Memorandum—in action.”

He called the SBU’s brilliant Operation “Pavutyna” a step toward ensuring the aggressor state’s non-nuclear status. No target is too far when you’re defending your land.

🇳🇴 FM Espen Barth Eide on Ukraine’s drone strikes:

“Ukraine is fully within its right to strike military targets across Russia. Unlike Russia, which bombs cities and civilians, Ukraine follows international law.”

Footage shows the results of UAV operators from the National Guard’s “Chervona Kalyna” brigade: Russian armored vehicles, motorcycles, and personnel destroyed in the Pokrovsk direction. Over the past day, National Guard units eliminated 6 vehicles, 1 armored unit, 2 ammo depots, and 3 electronic warfare systems.

Ukraine's SBU claims that today’s special operation “Pavutyna” struck 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. The estimated value of the damaged aviation assets is $7 billion.

They add that more details of the operation will follow shortly.

🇺🇦 “I thank the Security Service, General Malyuk personally, and everyone involved in the operation. It was in the works for over a year and a half — perfectly planned and executed.

This was truly a unique operation. And now I can say: the ‘office’ for this op inside Russia was located right next to an FSB headquarters.

117 drones were used, striking 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers at key airbases. Our teams operated across multiple Russian regions and three time zones — and were safely extracted in advance."

— President Zelensky

A Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky has arrived in Istanbul for the second round of talks with the Ukrainian delegation.

🇵🇱 Exit polls in Poland's presidential runoff show a razor-thin lead for Civic Platform’s Rafał Trzaskowski with 50.3% vs. 49.7% for Karol Nawrocki. The margin is too close to call, but early data mirrors first-round trends. A pivotal moment for Poland—and Ukraine.

Head of the Russian delegation Vladimir Medinsky refused to comment on the attack on Russian airbases, repeating “Tomorrow. Tomorrow” like a mantra.

Despite the attacks, Kremlin media report that talks scheduled for tomorrow will go on.

Senator Lindsey Graham says he intends to push for new sanctions against Russia ahead of the G7 summit, which will take place in Canada on June 15–17, Bloomberg reports.

🔴 Lipetsk Governor Igor Artamonov has declared a red threat level amid a possible Ukrainian drone attack. Local channels report that UAVs are already en route, possibly targeting the Lipetsk airfield.

According to Russian channels, Ukrainian naval drones have been spotted in the Black Sea heading for occupied Crimea.

Very predictable. Russia will not disclose the contents of its proposed memorandum on Ukraine, TASS reports. The document will be handed over and discussed on June 2.

This deliberate lack of transparency is purely aimed at keeping Russia’s ridiculous demands out of the public eye.

Eight explosions are recorded in the Lipetsk region. Meanwhile, locals in Voronezh region also report Ukrainian drone activity.
