Quote: "We must pay attention to air-raid warnings in the coming days. Please stay safe. Take care of yourselves and take care of Ukraine."
Details: Zelenskyy said he had received a report from Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Quote: "The Pokrovsk front, the Lyman front, other fronts in Donetsk Oblast, as well as the situation along the border in Sumy Oblast and Kharkiv Oblast – the situation in some areas is very difficult, but everything depends on the resilience of our units…
Russia’s intentions remain unchanged, and everything depends on Ukraine’s defence and security forces – on our soldiers and on everyone helping the state."
Background:
- On 8 June, Reuters reported that the United States believes Moscow is preparing a significant response in retaliation for Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web, which destroyed or damaged dozens of Russian strategic aircraft at their home bases.
- One source said the strike may occur "within days", while another suggested it could involve a combined aerial attack using various weapons. A Western diplomatic source indicated that while Russia’s response may have started with the recent strikes, it is likely to escalate, targeting symbolic Ukrainian sites such as government buildings.
