20:35 Borrell believes that Moscow will not sit down at the negotiating table without first trying to win the war in Ukraine, so a new Russian military offensive can be expected in the coming months. "I am not optimistic about what will happen in Ukraine this summer ... Russia still has power, we should not underestimate it," the European diplomat said. He also stressed the need to increase military spending in order to meet the defense challenges facing Europe.
19:48 Poland announced that from June 1 it will ban the movement of trucks registered in Belarus and Russia across its border.
19:32 Podolyak said that the key theme of the post-war device should be the establishment of fuses in order to prevent a repetition of aggression in the future. According to him, in order to ensure the real security of the residents of Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Zaporozhye, Lugansk and Donetsk regions and protect them from shelling, it will be mandatory to create a demilitarized zone of 100-120 km on the territory of the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov regions of the Russian Federation. "Probably at the first stage with a mandatory international control contingent," he added.

The second issue is the recruitment of new offensive brigades and the provision of fast logistics.

17:18 The Russians launch rockets at civilian targets in the center of Kiev for psychological purposes - primarily to intimidate, said Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar: "Kyiv for Ukrainians is not just a capital, but a symbol of invincibility and resistance. Therefore, hitting Kiev for the enemy - this is to show the vulnerability of our symbol of resilience. The enemy seeks to subconsciously give Ukrainians the impression that the capital is defenseless."
Malyar also drew attention to the fact that in parallel with the missile attack, a few hours before the launch, an information and psychological attack began in the form of discrediting the military-political leadership. "The enemy information strikes at those who enjoy the confidence of citizens. For what? Just like with rockets in Kyiv - to sow a sense of defenselessness," the deputy minister said.
16:47 In Kiev, two men were detained who filmed the work of air defense during a missile attack. Currently, they have been transferred to the SBU, the National Police reported.

At the same time, according to her, the intensity of enemy artillery shelling has not decreased.
In Bakhmut, the Wagnerites withdraw their units, and the regular army enters in their place. Ukrainian troops control the neighborhood of Bakhmut in the southwestern part in the Airplane area. In the north of the suburb of Bakhmut, enemy units are also being replaced. To the south of Bakhmut, the enemy is making attempts to strengthen and build up army units.

10:42 Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky said that he had visited the forward positions of the Ukrainian forces in the Liman direction and announced active offensive operations. "Our units and subunits continue to steadfastly hold their lines and positions, repel all enemy attempts to move forward in the areas of Belogorovka, Disputed, Novoselovskoye, Torskoye. They inflict significant losses in personnel and equipment," he wrote.
During the trip, Syrsky met with the commanders of units and subunits performing tasks in the most hot spots of the front. We discussed possible scenarios for the development of events in this area and the current situation at the front. "Noted that the time will soon come when we will move on to active offensive operations, and defined specific tasks for preparing for them," the commander added.
10:20 a.m. British intelligence said that the exercises that Russia conducted on May 24 near the Crimean bridge included the creation of a smoke screen that partially masked the bridge. Russian doctrine considers the use of smoke as part of the camouflage, which is heavily emphasized.

He clarified that they were taken out by Urals and Kamaz trucks, since there were not enough ambulances. According to Andryushchenko, not only the BC depot, a large number of equipment and a control center were located at the site of the defeat, but also communication and electronic warfare systems were located.
Andryushchenko added that the Russians "surprisingly" managed to avoid a wide public discussion of the defeat in Nikolskoye, where the enemy also suffered heavy losses.

07:47 During the night massive attack, the enemy sent Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones to the south of Ukraine - three of them were destroyed in the sky over the Nikolaev region, one more - over the Odessa region.
