Ukraine last week has retained pressure on Russian airfields and war production after a highly successful operation, Spiderweb, which destroyed Moscow’s strategic bombers on June 1.
Russia responded with major air raids in Ukrainian cities, causing dozens of civilians’ accidents and introducing Iranian -designed chessed drone with a jet jet.
On Friday, Ukraine hit at least three fuel tanks Engels Airbase 500km (310 miles) southeast of Moscow. The fires were also reported to Dyagilevo Airbase, 170 km (105 miles) from the capital. Both were focused on the operation Spiderweb.
Andria Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Disinformation Center, also said that Kiev forces have been shocked by the JSC progress factory in Michurinsk, the main link in the Russian Defense Industry Chain in electronic stabilization and management systems in artillery and rocket systems.
On Sunday, Ukraine hit the Russian ammunition industry again, targeting the chemical factory in Novomoskovsk, which produces military explosives.
On Wednesday, the Ukrainian drones also interrupted operations at the Tambow gunbug factory at 430 km (270 miles) southeast of Moscow. Kovalenko said it was “one of the main suppliers of Russian army explosives”, providing a gunpowder for bullet, shell and rocket systems.
Geolocatized materials confirmed the hit.
Earlier this week, Ukraine destroyed two destroyer aircraft on its own air -based asphalt nizhny Novgorod region east of Moscow. The airplanes were used for shooting Kinzhal ballistic missiles, said the Ukrainian military personnel General Staff.
Ukrainian drone strikes caused fires at a factory in the city of Chebokar, 500 km (310 miles) east of Moscow, which produces comet antennas that provide Russian chess drones with resistance to the Ukrainian electronic war. The plant also makes guidelines modernized to inertial balls, turning them into precisely led slip balls.
Russia has dropped more than 3,000 of these balls in the position of the Ukrainian front line every month. This is the key to Moscow’s ability to maintain pressure on the ground. Ukrainian strikes against aerodromes and factories aim to stop the production and supply of these balls.
Russia reported that it reduced 102 Ukrainian long -distance drones on Tuesday morning.
“We have come very close to the moment we can force Russia to stop the war. We feel it,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview on Saturday, which is possible to refer to the great efficiency of the large ranges of the Ukrainian Russian war production.
French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecorn said on Saturday that the car manufacturer Renault is launching a new partnership in Ukraine to create a drone production line-Kiev month-long efforts to attract more Western contributions to domestic weapons production.
Russia hits opposite
It is possible that one third of its strategic bombers fleet used to launch cruise rockets against Ukraine, Russia has increased its attacks.
Last week, it launched more than 1,400 shahed drones and launched at least 59 cruise rockets.
On June 5, two Russian attacks destroyed the Kherson Regional Administration building. On Friday, a deadly cocktail of 407 drones and 45 different types of rockets killed at least four people in Kiev and injured dozens of people across the country.
It was reported that at least one person was killed when Russian balls hit an apartment building in Kharkiv on Saturday. Harkiv, located only 30 km (20 miles) from the Russian border, was constantly lobby for 24 hours, said Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian Air Force said on Saturday that Russia had released 215 drones across the country all night.
Russia on Sunday evening in Kiev and Dubno Rivne region in the Ukrainian Rivne region launched its biggest drone and rocket attack. The Ukrainian Air Force said on Monday that 479 of 499 Russian air targets had intercepted. Of the 479 lowered objects, 460 were drones.
On Tuesday, Ukraine announced that it intercepted 277 of the 315 drones launched and stopped seven missiles.
An additional drone salvation was targeted on Tuesday to Kiev, which, as reported, was first included in the Shahed version, which could reach a speed of 600 kilometers per hour (370 miles per hour). The strike focused on “Ukrainian aviation, rocket, armor and shipbuilding industry in Kiev, Russia The Ministry of Defense said.
At least two people were killed in Kharkiv on Wednesday after 17 shahed drones fell in the city.
Russia is now capable of producing 2700 shahed drones and 2,500 decoys each month, compared to 500 years a year ago, according to the Ukrainian defense intelligence service, which means that this scale and density strikes are indefinitely sustainable.
In addition, Russia has agreed with North Korea on the formation of Harpia and the chess -like drone, Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ukrainian intelligence community, told the war zone.
“This is extremely dangerous for Europe and East and Southeast Asia,” Zelenskyy wrote Telegram. “It has to be dealt with now – not when thousands of upgraded Shahed drones and ballistic missiles begin to threaten Seoul and Tokyo.”
Russia reaches Dnipropetrovsk
While the air war played at these new levels of intensity, Russian troops in eastern Ukraine in the Donetsk region reached the Dnipropetrovsk border-Ukraine region over the weekend, to which Russian boots still had to stand for more than three years of war.
While Ukrainian officials said the fight was still raging in Donetsk and has not spilled above the administrative border, geoloked shots on Monday showed that the Russians had achieved it.
Russian units “developed an offensive in the territory of Dnepropetrovsk region,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said Wednesday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian troops are planning to create a buffer zone in Dnipropetrovsk, using the same argument that Russia has offered the second attempt to invade the northern Ukraine and Sumy in the Sumy regions last year and this year.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian National Security Council, tried to take on news of the diplomatic advantage in the telegram: “Those who refuse to recognize the reality of the war at the negotiating table will face new realities on the battlefield,” he wrote. “Our armed forces have launched an offensive in the Dnepropetrovsk region.”
Me and the US are pulling away from each other
The United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegsets, did not attend a contact group for Ukraine on June 4, following the freezing of US President Donald Trump for assistance to Ukraine, but Ukrainian European allies appeared and committed to significant military improvement.
Britain said it would spend $ 476 million to build 100,000 drones for Ukraine in 2025, 10 times the help of their drones last year.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Ukraine has largely established a long distance in Ukraine with German funding and could go to the service. “The first systems can introduce surgery in the Ukrainian armed forces within a few weeks,” he said.
On Tuesday, the European Commission floated the 18th sanctions package aimed at Russian banks, income from energy and military personnel.
Among other things, sanctions would prohibit all transactions related to Russian -damaged and currently invalid Nord Stream gas pipelines. The event would send a clear message to global liquefied natural gas manufacturers, which may hesitate to expand partnerships with European buyers, unless there is a relapse of Russian gas addiction, “wrote Olga Khakova, Deputy Director of European Energy Security Director of the Atlantic Council.
Europe has already banned all Russian oil imports, but allows the European Union to sell oil to third parties up to $ 60 per barrel. Now it would reduce this price to the maximum limit to $ 45.
The proposals also included the sanctioning of 22 Russian banks and banks from third countries.
The maximum oil prices had to be discussed in a group of seven meetings in Canada next week. EU leaders must approve sanctions later this month.
“Europe is still focused on war and, say, continues to engage in militaristic Bravado,” Peskov said. “There are absolutely no signals about the desire to look for a common position.”
Meanwhile, the US has not committed any new help since Trump on January 20, and even turned some of the promises of the former administration. Zelenskyy confirmed what The Wall Street Journal opened on June 4 that the US has diverted 20,000 against drone missiles commissioned to Ukraine in the Middle East.
“The president in this conflict is committed to peace,” Hojsets said.
