the Russians want to sow panic so that we ask our leadership to surrender. Putin is terrorist No. 1 - a Ukrainian from Nikopol about the shelling of invaders from the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant
1/ "Russia is not preparing for peace": Palisa spoke in the US Senate about the situation on the front
Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Pavlo Palisa addressed US senators on behalf of the Ukrainian military on Wednesday, June 4. His goal was to support Senator Lindsey Graham's sanctions bill.
He spoke about the situation on the front and emphasized that #Ukraine️ will not lose the war.
2/ "In 2024, the enemy captured only 0.5%, another 0.2% since the beginning of this year. But at the cost of 167 killed occupiers for every kilometer. This does not look like a "quick victory," the military man noted.
He also explained why Ukraine can no longer just shoot down Russian missiles - it needs to strike at their source.
The SBU's Operation "Web" became a symbol of the new quality of Ukrainian actions, as 41 Russian aircraft were hit in an hour, including DRLV aircraft.
Palisa also shared important intelligence with the Americans:
"Russia is not preparing for peace... Since 2022, Russia has received over 8.4 million artillery shells of aid. They are actively building anti-Western alliances, although they themselves talk about isolation," he wrote.
"My call is simple: remain vigilant and determined. Ukraine stands not only for itself - we are fighting for the same principles of freedom and justice as you. Thank you for the opportunity to convey the truth. The struggle continues!" - summed up the deputy head of the OP.
3/ President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that partner countries should put pressure on Russia not only for the sake of Ukraine.
The war must be stopped now because otherwise the aggressor country will not stop on its own and will begin occupying the territories of other European countries - primarily #Poland, #Moldova, and the #Balticstates.
"It could happen very quickly": Zelensky said that without pressure, Russia is capable of occupying Moldova and other Eastern European countries

1/ "Toloka" or "Marichka": experts have determined what the SBU could have used to hit the Crimean bridge by placing 1,100 kg of explosives under the support.
On Tuesday, June 3, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a third operation, during which the supports of the Crimean Bridge were damaged underwater .
The probable means of destruction could have been the #Toloka or #Marichka sea drones, as #Ukraine️ had previously developed such weapons. war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/toloka-chi…
Although, as the publication notes, the aforementioned drones are not the only possible option.
"The operation lasted several months. SBU agents mined the supports of this illegal facility. And today, without any casualties among the civilian population, at 4:44 am the first explosive device was activated!
The underwater supports of the supports were severely damaged at the bottom level - 1,100 kg of explosives in the TNT equivalent contributed to this. In fact, the bridge is in a state of emergency," the SBU emphasized .
It is extremely important to understand that the explosion was carried out on the bottom at a depth of about 10 meters. Therefore, there is no fire show, as in previous times. Also, the real condition of the support can be assessed after this only during diving work. Moreover, this also means the corresponding complexity of any repair work.
3/ An equally interesting question is the means by which the Crimean bridge was hit. Because the laying of more than 1 ton of explosives, and this is only the explosive substance itself, without the body, could hardly have been carried out with the help of swimmers. And in general, taking into account the operation "Website" using remotely controlled FPV drones to destroy Russian strategic bombers , one of the few options is the use of underwater drones. defence-ua.com/news/cherez_sk…

Crash Putin’s $7-billion “red lines” aircraft — while Russia fights them back with sticks
Ukraine’s rise to drone powerhouse has unleashed an industry producing 4.5 million flying killers a year — forcing Russian troops into WWI-style desperation to dodge death from above every six minutes.
2/ Last year, Ukrainian military intelligence did what sounds like science fiction: they fed thousands of images of Russian jets into artificial intelligence systems, training machines to hunt and dive-bomb strategic bombers meant to launch nuclear annihilation.
On 1 June, those AI-trained killing machines proved they learned their lessons perfectly.
Ukrainian forces loaded homegrown drones into ordinary trucks, smuggled them deep into Russia’s rear, and unleashed mechanical predators that struck four airbases from the Arctic to Siberia — wiping out a $7 billion of Russia’s elite air force in a single day. pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/…
3/ With 41 aircraft reduced to wreckage — the largest single-day funeral for Russian aircraft since WWII — Putin’s elite “red lines” air threat that kept the West cowering for years would take decades to restore — if sanctions ever allow it.
Behind this massacre lies Ukraine’s domestic drone empire that has exploded from desperate start-ups into a $2.8 billion war machine in just three years — and it just launched the AI arms race that will haunt every future battlefield. euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/01/bre…

1/ FT journalist publishes full version of Ukrainian memorandum that was handed over to Russia
Christopher Miller, a journalist for the British newspaper Financial Times, has published the full version of the Ukrainian memorandum that was handed over to Russia as part of the negotiations in Istanbul . The first point in it is a complete and unconditional ceasefire.
Miller shared a copy of the document on his X social media page. According to it, the first point of the memorandum is a complete and unconditional ceasefire in the sky, on land, and at sea "as a necessary prerequisite for peace negotiations
2/ As a next step, Kyiv proposes to implement "confidence-building measures" - resolving humanitarian issues.
This concerns the unconditional return of all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children, the exchange of all prisoners on an "all for all" basis, and the release by Russia of all civilian hostages.
The third proposed condition for Ukraine is the non-repetition of aggression
The goal of the negotiations is to restore a permanent basis for lasting peace and security and to ensure that aggression does not occur again," the memorandum states.
The next point is security guarantees and involvement of the international community. As stated in the document, Ukraine must receive reliable security guarantees.
It is assumed that Moscow and Kyiv will invite the international community to participate in the negotiations and provide guarantees to ensure the implementation of the agreements.
Kyiv's fifth condition is sovereignty. "Ukraine does not undertake obligations to be neutral. It can choose to be part of the Euro-Atlantic community and move towards EU membership.
"Ukraine's membership in NATO depends on consensus within the Alliance. No restrictions can be imposed on the number, deployment, and other parameters of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, as well as on the deployment of troops of foreign friendly states on the territory of Ukraine," the memorandum states
3/ Territorial issues are discussed after the ceasefire
The text of the document states that the territorial gains made by Russia since February 2014 are not recognized by the international community.
"The contact line is the starting point for negotiations. Territorial issues are discussed only after a complete and unconditional ceasefire," the memorandum states.
Regarding sanctions, Kyiv suggests that some of them may be lifted from Russia, but in stages and only gradually, with a mechanism for renewing sanctions if necessary.
Frozen Russian assets are being used to rebuild Ukraine or remain frozen until reparations are paid
1/ The jokes are over: the European Union is going to "cut out the tongue" of Orban, who is copying Putin's "tools" inside Hungary
2/ Holding a deep grudge against the EU, Hungarian leader Viktor @PM_ViktorOrban prides himself on flouting the bloc’s democratic values and disregarding the rule of law, refusing to cooperate with his alliance partners.
- He openly opposes the EU’s foreign and security policy and has become an apologist for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s policies towards Ukraine
It is not surprising that irritation with Orbán’s behavior in the European Union has reached a critical point.
- Many European politicians and diplomats say that #Hungary should be deprived of its voting rights in the European Union. Such a punishment is in the EU statute, although the procedure for its appointment is such that it is extremely difficult to apply it in practice.
"However, today Europe desperately needs a quick and decisive reaction to ensure its future security".
And the Council of the European Union has already openly stated that they want to, and most importantly, are really considering the possibility of applying Article 7 of the EU Treaty, which allows a member state to limit its voting rights in the event of a serious risk of violating EU values. It is obvious that the beginning of the process of containing Orbán is overdue. This is now a matter of principle for the European Union
3/ Orban got everyone:
Viktor @PM_ViktorOrban has repeatedly effectively flouted the rules that normally require all 27 EU countries to agree on a joint statement to be issued on behalf of the European Council.
The most pressing issue, as always, is support for Ukraine – the Hungarian prime minister has consistently opposed any attempts to increase military aid or advance the country’s bid for European Union membership.
Another point of contention between the EU and the Hungarian government has been Orbán's friendliness towards Moscow, with Budapest repeatedly using its veto power to block sanctions against Russian oligarchs.
- Today, Orbán has chosen isolation and friendship with Vladimir Putin, Donald @realDonaldTrump and Xi Jinping against the clear interests of the EU and Hungary.
He has been given many opportunities and has rejected "outstretched hands", say Brussels. Adding that Europe's security is too serious a problem to negotiate with one person who sees things 180 degrees differently than everyone else, and therefore "the time has come to act".
The final straw was Budapest's move to pass a law that effectively bans the LGBT parade, as well as introducing a Putin-style "foreign agent" law to the Hungarian parliament, which essentially bans criticism of the government and freedom of the press. So on May 27, 17 EU countries, including Germany and France, called on the European Commission to punish Orban.
1/ Zelenskyy responded to the attack on Russian airfields
Report by the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Malyuk, on our operation today:
- Absolutely brilliant result. An independent result of Ukraine. t.me/V_Zelenskiy_of…
"A year, six months and nine days from the start of planning to effective implementation".
Our operation is the most far-reaching. Our people who prepared the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory on time. obozrevatel.com/ukr/topic/oper…
He thanked General Malyuk for this success for Ukraine. He instructed the Security Service of Ukraine to inform the public about the details and results of the operation, which may be made public.
Of course, we can't tell everything now, but these are Ukrainian actions that will definitely be in history textbooks. Ukraine is defending itself, and quite rightly so – we are doing everything to make Russia feel the need to end this war. Russia started this war, Russia must end it.
Glory to Ukraine!
