Weekend Ukraine update for Sunday 8th June 2025

Highlights: Russian forces enter Komar and Oleksiivka in west Donetsk. Small advances elsewhere across the front too such as Toretsk, Sumy and Lyman, but relatively small.

Rumours of a Russian train destruction by Ukrainian drones are circulating but no footage has been released, so take it with salt as always.

Russian Su-35S downed in Bryansk, unknown how as of yet but Ukrainian Air Force hinting it was shot down with air to air missile.

Lots of clickbait posts about huge Russian drone strikes in retaliation for Ukraine's bomber strikes - these were happening anyway already and were going to happen no matter what. In May for example, before any strategic bombers were hit, had two headline nights with 'biggest ever drone strike'. All Russia needs to do is save them up for a few nights and voila, a new record for headlines, so bear that in mind. It will get worse for the civilian population, Russian production of Gerans/Shaheds is increasing.
