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.

More from Kursk at this moment.

The Ryazan region is also under a Ukrainian drone attack at this moment. In lots of area's Russian air defense is operating.
