[Korrespondent] 22:13 Ukraine has already taken advantage of the US permission to carry out strikes on Russian territory, US Presidential Adviser Jay Sullivan said: “I’ll just say that from the president’s point of view it was common sense... When the Russians moved from one side of the border directly to the other side of the border “It just didn’t make sense to not allow the Ukrainians to fire across that border, to hit the Russian guns and gun emplacements that were firing at the Ukrainians.”

21:37 Ukraine will begin testing its adjustable aerial bombs in a few weeks, said the head of the air command Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei Golubtsov. According to him, a wing and a control module have been developed. Navigation will be carried out using GPS. Golubtsov added that Ukraine currently uses about 100-300 precision-guided bombs per month, while Russia uses about 3,000. Ukraine is still using foreign-made bombs. In addition, according to Golubtsov, Ukraine was able to integrate French AASM 250 aerial bombs onto Su-25 attack aircraft.

21:16 On the evening of June 8, Ukrainian forces launched a “coordinated attack” on a Russian landing ship that had recently moved to the Sea of Azov from the Black Sea, Sky News writes, citing a Ukrainian military source. The ship was the fifth of seven Ropukha-class landing ships that were sunk or disabled as a result of Ukrainian attacks, the source said. According to him, the Russian military uses such ships to transport ammunition and cargo to occupied Mariupol for further transit to the front line.

20:41 Zelensky said in an evening video message that in the Pokrovsky direction “almost every day it is invariably the hardest along the front, the greatest pressure from the occupier, the greatest number of battles.” The president also said that now among the main tasks is “to get more support for Ukraine specifically from the point of view of the sustainability of our society: this applies to energy, and recovery after impacts, and all other foundations of a normal life.”

“We are preparing new agreements for Ukraine with European partners, in particular with Germany, regarding additional steps of support. Also these days, we are working in detail on the preparation of a bilateral security agreement between our state and the United States. We are doing everything to make America’s leadership felt,” the head of state added.

18:54 There could be two affected Su-57s in Akhtubinsk, said GUR representative Andrey Yusov: “There is data that continues to be clarified.

Some Russian public pages, meanwhile, write that the attack on Akhtubinsk was carried out by “invisible drones that no air defense system in the world can shoot down,” and as a result of the attack, the Su-57 and two air defense systems - Pantsir-S1 and S-300 - were allegedly damaged.

18:30 Russia is attracting African students to the offensive in the Kharkov direction, writes Bloomberg. In particular, Russian officials have increasingly threatened not to renew the visas of African students and young workers unless they agree to join the army. Some Africans who are in Russia on work visas are detained and forced to choose between deportation and participation in hostilities.

But if you’re deported, you get sent home for free, right? What’s the downside?

12:19 Scholz rejected Macron’s idea to send military instructors to Ukraine: “We will continue to prevent escalation.

At the same time, analysts believe that the existing Russian reserves of 60 thousand people will not be enough to support simultaneous large-scale offensive efforts in several directions.
