21:10 The United States is involved in both reconnaissance and the production of drones, said the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vadim Sukharevsky. According to him, there is also cooperation with France in terms of modernizing the drones that they planned to transfer to Ukraine. Also, in all areas at the command level of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Ukraine cooperates with Norway, Spain, Canada, and South Korea.
Sukharevsky also said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are considering an alternative to Starlink for working with drones: “This issue is being resolved, a whole working group for dialogue has been created. There is an alternative, the dialogue continues, in the near future we expect a positive result in this dialogue.”
20:41 The World Bank announced the allocation of a $62 million grant to Ukraine to help solve problems in the housing sector.
20:27 Germany, together with Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway, is transferring 100 interceptor missiles for Patriot systems to Ukraine, said German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. He clarified that 32 of these interceptors have already been handed over in the last two days, and the remaining 68 will be provided in the coming weeks.
19:15 Zelensky said that he expects “a positive result in the near future regarding two or three Patriot systems.”
19:04 Former mayor of Kupyansk Gennady Matsegora, who surrendered the city to the enemy in the first days of the large-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, died in hospital after an assassination attempt, his wife reported. Earlier, the Main Intelligence Directorate reported that in the Russian city of Stary Oskol, an attempt was made on the life of collaborator Gennady Matsegora.
19:01 By its order, the Ministry of Education prohibited the inclusion of air conditioners and street lighting in educational institutions.
18:54 Since January, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received six times more drones than in the entire 2023, said the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vadim Sukharevsky. He added that “this trend is increasing.”
18:50 NATO helps Ukraine annually worth $40 billion and must do so further, Stoltenberg said: “Since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, NATO members have provided Ukraine with military support amounting to about 40 billion euros annually. We must maintain this level of support for as long as possible, as much as needed."
18:47 Ukraine needs up to 30 billion dollars of annual investment in the next ten years, Shmygal said: “We need restoration, access to foreign markets and improved logistics. We need external investment and technology transfer from our partners. Ukraine needs from 10 to 30 billion dollars of annual investment over the next ten years."
18:40 At the summit of the Bucharest Nine, which unites nine countries of the eastern wing of NATO, it was not possible to agree on a joint statement and reach consensus on Stoltenberg’s successor as head of the Alliance due to the position of Hungary, Czech President Petr Pavel said. According to him, the reason for the lack of results of the B9 summit was Hungary’s reluctance to accept the candidacy of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for the post of NATO Secretary General, as well as the issue of supporting Ukraine in connection with Russian aggression. At the same time, at the summit they did not say “a word” about Hungary’s possible withdrawal from the union, as previously reported by the media.
At the same time, the presidents of Latvia, Poland and Romania published their statement following the meeting in Riga, where they expressed deep concern about “Russia’s recent malicious hybrid actions on the territory of the Alliance countries, posing a threat to the security of NATO members.” They also expressed hope that the NATO summit in Washington will help bring Ukraine closer to the Alliance and offer it a “substantial package of support.”

Discussions about excluding Budapest are “very serious,” one of the interlocutors noted.
15:59 Zelensky answered the media question whether Ukraine will be able to mobilize a sufficient number of people to liberate the occupied territories: “As for mobilization, we are mobilizing in connection with the martial law. It has been going on since the first day. I see that this issue is in society, it’s not the first day of war. But if we want to preserve our state, then we need to defend it.”
15:18 At the G7 summit on June 13, a decision will be made to create a Fund to Support Ukraine under an international organization, probably under the World Bank, writes the Japanese publication Nikkei Asia.

Interest on the loan and repayment of the body will cover the income from investing frozen assets of the Russian Federation, and for Ukraine the money will be provided not as a loan, but as a grant.
