Kate from Kharkiv

Trump calls Putin and Zelenskyy "two very good people" 🤦‍♀️ Yeah, the guy who invaded a neighboring state and has been drowning it in blood for five years, for no reason other than wanting to go down in history as a great conqueror, is definitely not a "good person".

ZELENSKYY: There is progress in our negotiations with European Union regarding Ukraine's membership. We will have very clear schedule of opportunities for moving forward in negotiations, especially after changes in Hungary.

Sen. Shaheen to Rubio: “Now is time to increase pressure on Russia, because Russia is feeling it. So let’s put pressure on them, let’s get them to negotiating table, and let’s get just and lasting peace in Ukraine. That’s not going to happen as long as we’re pussyfooting around with Vladimir Putin.”

Intercepted Russian drone falls over Kharkiv city today.

Russian corvette "Boiky" in Kronstadt looks unwell after Ukrainian drone strike on June 3 🔥🤩

KALLAS: It clearly shows panic on Russian side. The reason they are increasing terrorist attacks they are carrying out in Ukraine is because they don’t know what to do with these things [Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russia].

Russian strike on an ambulance in Kherson today. Russia is systematically tearing Kherson apart, committing one war crime after another. The city is in a desperate, critical situation‼️‼️

Rubio: "Invasion of Ukraine has been strategic disaster for Russians. They are not going to achieve objectives they set out on day one, for certain, and they may not even be able to, militarily, ever achieve objectives they're demanding now in negotiations.

On June 4, Ukraine observes the Remembrance Day for Children Victims of War. Local authorities joined in laying flowers at the monument dedicated to the child victims of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Military analyst Michael Clarke: "On the battlefield, Russians are going nowhere. They're losing more than they're gaining. They're getting pushed backwards. And now the weather is good. We've got through rasputitsa, which is the wet season.

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "Now on Iran. Trump administration issued general license to Russia, providing billions in oil profits every month — several billion every month — fueling Putin's war machine. You didn't mention that in your opening remarks.

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum. And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat.

RUTTE: When it comes to drone incursions into NATO airspace, let's not forget where it started. It started with Russia's reckless war of aggression against Ukraine. That's what is behind it. Everybody in NATO realizes this, we know Ukraine will do everything to minimize impact.

Russian ammunition depot is detonating beautifully in occupied part of Donetsk region 💥

RUTTE: Ukraine is now so successful that Putin only able to organize May 9 parade with official presidential decree by President Zelenskyy. That's how far you've got. And you allowed Russians to do it for 2 hours. They ended it at 1 hour 55 minutes, so Putin didn't take a risk.

Rubio once again complains US-led negotiations between Ukraine and Russia were "unfruitful": "We invested tremendous amount of high-level time in that conflict over last year. Neither side is prepared to make concessions necessary to reach agreement."

RUTTE: Russia's losses are absolutely staggering. Over 30,000 per month. This means losing more men in one month than Soviet Union did in 10 years in Afghanistan. My message to young Russians and their families: "You are being sold a raw deal. Men like you who join the fight won’t be trained.

Saint Petersburg, oil port is on fire 🔥🔥🔥

Saint Petersburg, oil terminal was attacked 🔥👀

Occupied Simferopol. What you see to the right of the operator is not a row of parked cars, but a gigantic line for a gas station. ​The occupiers are always welcome to abandon their cars and walk home. They still have fuel there. For now.

Toretsk. Another town in Ukraine that Russia has turned to ash and ruins. ​Russians who claimed to have come to "liberate" Donbas are only liberating it from life itself.

Sen. Shaheen grills Rubio: "In 2017, you wrote as a Senator that Vladimir Putin will never be a trusted ally or a reliable, constructive partner. But since taking office, you, President, Vice President, Steve Witkoff — not one of you has been to Ukraine.

ZELENSKYY: Unfortunately, current level of our air defense supplies doesn't allow us to intercept significant share of missiles. 130 people were injured. Tragically, 22 people were killed, including 2 children. Once again, Putin "claimed victory" over lives of ordinary children,

Pastor Mark Burns: Supporting Ukraine is America First. Why? Because if we don't stop Russia now by making sure Ukraine has every single bit of resources it needs to continue to defend herself, then ultimately Russia is not going to stop with Ukraine.

KAMYSHIN: There are two nations on the continent who know how to produce 10 million drones a year. One of them wants not to integrate into Europe, but to invade. Russians have always been very vocal about their targets. When we check tanks we captured from Russia in our tank repair factories,

HODGES: Who’s been our enemy for the longest time? Russia. Why don’t we want Ukraine to crush them? This would solve Europe’s main security problem for two or three generations. We benefit when Europe is stable and secure. Importance of allies is something that’s not appreciated in MAGA mentality,

This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.

FREDERIKSEN: Why Denmark is, in many ways, at forefront when it comes to helping Ukraine. The way I look at it, and I have held same view on this war since the beginning, this war has never been about Ukraine. Russia wants to fulfil their imperial dreams of making bigger Russia.

ZELENSKYY: Lifting sanctions is very helpful for Russian war machine. I think it’s not about lowering prices. It’s about trying to find dialogue with Russians, but it’s not correct dialogue. Russians see it as a sign of weakness. We need to stay strong and put sanctions on them.

REP. KEATING: I have some questions about our envoy, Steve Witkoff. I mean, he met with Putin at length. He came out of that saying Putin is trustworthy. That this war criminal is a good guy. That he trusts him. Witkoff even gave advice to Ushakov, top Putin advisor, on how to flatter our president

In Dnipro, death toll from russian strike on the night of June 2 has risen to 15, including 2 children ❗️❗️ Rescuers recovered the bodies of two women and one man from the rubble of an apartment building.

Marta Kostyuk after reaching Roland Garros semifinals: "We played historical match today with Elina. We had very difficult night again in Ukraine, especially Kyiv. So many people dead. I want to give this match to Ukrainian people and their resilience. Thank you. Slava Ukraini!

Horrific moment of a direct russian drone strike on an apartment building in Dnipro last night‼️ ​At least 12 people were killed, including 2 children.

At least 4 people were killed in a Russian attack on Kyiv tonight, and 64 others were injured.‼️ Rescuers continue to work.

Russian attack on Kyiv tonight. Home to several million people. Children. Elderly. Families, just like yours.

Kyiv is once again getting ready to spend the night underground, bracing for another Russian attack.

ZELENSKYY: Right now, our warriors have the capability to reach Russian military logistics across virtually the entire depth of the temporarily occupied territory. There are practically no safe roads left for the occupier in the south and east of our state.

ZELENSKYY: Today is the anniversary of Operation "Spiderweb" – our operation that changed a lot. Ukraine proved that Ukrainian long-range sanctions matter, and since then our ability to bring the war back to Russia has only been growing.

Pastor Mark Burns: Being here in Ukraine, with the people, I can say that propaganda from Russia is very real — and how it’s used in Christian conservative circles to essentially dislike Ukrainians. And so when I saw with my own eyes that Ukrainians do love God, are not racists,

SEN. KELLY: Information warfare is one of the biggest challenges that all democracies are now facing, especially with regard to elections. I just spent time with President of Moldova, and interference that Russians applied in their election is happening to us too.

HODGES: Trump administration has failed miserably on Ukraine. They have so clearly been on Kremlin's side. All the pressure has been on Ukraine to make concessions. Fortunately, Ukraine no longer even pays much attention to that.

FREDERIKSEN: Anti-ballistic is one of the most important tools for protecting Ukrainian society. Zelenskyy proposed that we form coalition on anti-ballistic. I totally agree with that. It's necessary for Ukraine and for the rest of Europe.

Gas station lines in occupied Crimea are ridiculously long. The occupiers are always welcome fuck off from our land, go back home, and get their fuel there.

FUKUYAMA: Ukrainians developing new generation of drones built in Ukraine, along with rockets that can strike operational targets. We've seen this unfolding as we speak in Russian-occupied Crimea. Withdrawal from Crimea would mean an enormous political defeat for Vladimir Putin.

ZELENSKYY: Russia losing 35,000 soldiers per month, huge number of losses that exceeds what they can mobilize. Growing manpower deficit becoming serious problem for them, they're heading toward major personnel crisis. More sanctions, more pressure will push them toward dialogue.

Desperate times in occupied Crimea... Fuel shortages call for drastic measures. (And yes, that’s a russian Gazprom coat he’s wearing, of all things!😁)

BOLTON: Ukrainians are moral example. It’s tragedy we’re not doing more to support them. Trump has given up on Ukraine because he won’t get Nobel Peace Prize. Congress is unabashedly pro-Ukraine. Hopefully this will bring back support, because things changing on the battlefield.

🇸🇪 MoD Pål Jonson: Ukrainians come and train with us. We’re learning important lessons from them every day. And If Ukrainian units come to island of Gotland, I want hard, realistic training. I don’t want them to do an exhibition.

Amazing footage of border guards in the Chernihiv region downing a Russian Shahed drone with small arms‼️

ZELENSKYY: We can destroy all kinds of drones and lot of different missiles. But we still don't have our own anti-ballistic system in our defense shield. We will build it, but we need time for this. And during this time, we are losing people.

ZELENSKYY: We see that Russia is increasing its internal production of ballistic missiles. And we have deficit of anti-ballistic missiles. This is big problem. United States can produce 60 to 65 missiles per month. For today's challenges, it's nothing. We need to increase and expand production.

Kimmel: I like your football jersey. Supporting Ukrainian team? Chef José Andrés: My beloved Spanish team, of course. But Ukraine is my team today. They didn’t make it to World Cup, but today they're fighting the biggest match — for freedom and democracy. Kimmel: Yes, they are.

The huge lines at gas stations in occupied Crimea keep growing. Logistics lockdown works. I don't even know, maybe it's time for occupiers to buy bicycles... and use it to fuck off from Ukrainian soil 🤷‍♀️

Good drones have attacked the Lazarevo oil dispatch station in Russia's Kirov region 🔥🔥🔥 ​The facility transits West Siberian crude oil to domestic refineries and pumps raw materials for export via the Baltic Sea.

This drone was intercepted. Thank you, air defense people ❤️

Saratov oil refinery. Closer view 🔥😍

Saratov oil refinery is super HOT today 🔥

Saratov oil refinery in russia is getting cooked 🍳

🇸🇪 MoD Pål Jonson: Helping Ukraine is investment in our own security. I have to give it to the Ukrainians, they are very generous with data when you provide them with equipment. We send our systems to Ukraine and get them battlefield-tested, which gives us better platforms.

ZELENSKYY: Today, I commend our Ukrainian units carrying out our long-range strikes and mid-strike missions. I thank all our warriors who make such Russian targets reachable, above all military and fuel logistics across temporarily occupied territory along coast of our Azov Sea.

ZELENSKYY: We are in constant contact with United States at the team level. We expect visits and negotiations. We need to continue prisoner exchanges. At the beginning of May, with U.S. mediation specifically, we agreed on 1,000 for 1,000 format. All of this must be implemented.

Fuel lines in occupied Yalta, Crimea. Logistics lockdown works 💪

​BOLTON: Ukraine now has the best army in Europe, enormous combat experience, drone technology that we should use. Ukrainians brought Russians to a halt. ​I don't think Trump sees any of that. ​It's a shame we didn't do more earlier to help Ukrainians. War might be over by now.

STUBB: Ukrainians eliminating 35,000 Russian soldiers per month, launching more drones and missiles into Russia than vice versa. Ukraine reclaiming territory, striking deeper into Russia. Popularity of war in Russia is shrinking. Tides are actually turning and Ukraine is on top.

SEN. KELLY: I've spent 15 years working with Russian cosmonauts. Took me 5 years to understand what motivated them. Number one, appearance that they were in charge of something. Two, who to blame when something goes wrong. Three, what to steal today. Only four, mission success.

Reporter: "Zelenskyy is asking U.S. for more Patriot missiles?" Hegseth: "Where we can help Ukraine, we have. We want Ukrainians to be able to defend, and we'll find way to do that." No. American people helped, but this has nothing to do with you. All your administration ever did was cut weapon

A russian shadow fleet tanker and an oil depot were also hit during last night's Ukrainian strikes on Taganrog 🔥👀

Last night, several dozen direct russian drone strikes destroyed a railway station in Shostka, Sumy region. All Russia does is destroy.

​🇺🇦 SBU’s Alpha unit is also disrupting russian rear logistics! In just past week, more than 500 russian vehicles, including trucks and specialized equipment, have been destroyed. No trucks, no supplies 😏

Crimea fuel crisis deepens 👀 logistics lockdown announced by Ukraine is choking off russian supply lines. Gas queues across occupied Crimea are growing longer by the hour.

🤯 Overnight, AFU drones destroyed russian Iskander missile launcher and two Tu-142 long-range anti-submarine aircrafts at the Taganrog airfield. This is art! 🔥

REP. JIM HIMES: Lavrov's threats against diplomats in Kyiv are three things. Number one, it's a sign of utter desperation. Russians are losing ground on a net basis in Ukraine. And the price they are paying is staggering.
