A Ukrainian strike allegedly damaged two Russian military aircraft — a MiG-31 and either a Su-30 or Su-34 fighter jet — at an airfield used to launch Kinzhal missile attacks, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said on May 9.
The extent of the damage is still being assessed, the military said.

Ukraine has brought back the bodies of 1,212 fallen service members, the Ukrainian Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War (POW) said on June 11.
The announcement follows Russian-Ukrainian Istanbul talks on June 2, which focused on exchanges of POWs and fallen soldiers. The repatriation was carried out through a coordinated effort involving Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the Armed Forces, the Interior Ministry, the Ombudsman's Office, the State Emergency Service, and other national security and defense institutions. The International Committee of Red Cross also supported the operation. The remains of soldiers were returned from multiple front-line regions, including Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Sumy oblasts.
Officials emphasized that investigative and forensic teams from the Interior Ministry and the Health Ministry are working to identify the bodies in the shortest possible time. Vladimir Medinsky, aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, claimed Russia transferred the bodies of 1,212 Ukrainian soldiers in accordance with the agreements in Istanbul, while Ukraine released the remains of 27 Russian service members. The Ukrainian side did not disclose how many Russian bodies were handed over in return. At the Istanbul meeting on June 2, Russian and Ukrainian delegations agreed on a new exchange of POWs but failed to reach a ceasefire agreement.
The Turkey-hosted talks were the second round since mid-May and resulted in an agreement to exchange severely wounded and young prisoners, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying up to 1,200 individuals could be returned on each side. Russia also pledged to transfer up to 6,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers. Following Istanbul talks, Ukraine and Russia have already conducted two prisoner exchanges on June 9 and 10. While exact figures were not immediately disclosed, Ukraine confirmed the return of severely wounded and chronically ill prisoners, including those captured during the 2022 siege of Mariupol and held for more than three years. In Istanbul, Ukraine also submitted a peace proposal that called for a full ceasefire, an "all-for-all" POW exchange, the return of abducted children, and the use of frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine. Russia has yet to formally respond.

The Ukrainian monitoring project DeepState has put the proximity of Russian troops to the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast border at about two kilometers, yet painting that distance between the regional border and the alleged position of Russian troops as no man’s land. Even if militarily not as significant, Russian penetration into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast would mean yet another Ukrainian region would be now a warzone. It could also help strengthen the Russian negotiation position as the U.S. continues to push both sides to hold peace talks to end the war at all costs. Russia had begun its long-expected offensive in April but has only made limited gains since, besides opening a new front in the northeastern Sumy Oblast by occupying a number of border villages there. Kastehelmi the Black Bird Group said Ukrainian defense of Pokrovsk maybe compromised if Russian troops are able to widen their flanks, which would enable them to bring their support elements forward tracking Ukrainian and Russian equipment losses, said it likely won’t make “any difference” if Russian troops advanced a kilometer or two into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
He added that Russia appears to be continuing to rely heavily on small infantry group assaults, either on foot or motorcycles, thus decreasing the use of Soviet-era BMP fighting vehicles or tanks. “It seems more likely that Russia will focus on Donetsk Oblast,” Janovsky told the Kyiv Independent. “But it’s entirely possible that if they find a weak spot, they will try to exploit it.”

U.S. President Donald Trump on June 6 appeared to justify Russia's large-scale attack on Ukrainian cities launched the night before, in response to Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb. “They gave (Russian President Vladimir) Putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them last night," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "That's the thing I don't like about it. When I saw it I said 'here we go now it's going to be a strike,' Trump added. Russia launched a mass missile and drone attack against Ukraine overnight on June 6, targeting the capital, major cities, and the country's far-western regions.
The attack comes a day after Putin promised to retaliate against Ukraine for its drone strike against Russian air bases during Operation Spiderweb, in a phone call with Trump.Ukraine on June 1 launched a game-changing drone attack on four key Russian military airfields, damaging 41 planes, including heavy bombers and rare A-50 spy planes. Kyiv has claimed it had disabled 34% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet in what is seen as one of the most daring operations during the full-scale war.
Trump warned on June 5 that Russia's response to Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb is likely "not going to be pretty." Operation Spiderweb-II version is be plan by Ukraine. "I don't like it, I said don't do it, you shouldn't do it, you should stop it," Trump added.
Despite Trump's repeated calls for hostilities between Russia and Ukraine to end, Trump has continued to delay additional pressures on Moscow through sanctions. Trump on June 5 sidestepped questions as to when he can be expected to impose additional sanctions on Russia, as the Kremlin continues to reject a ceasefire in Ukraine. When asked by reporters in the Oval Office as to whether a deadline exists for the implementation of sanction, Trump replied: "Yes, it's in my brain the deadline," without specifying a date.
Previously, Trump said he had not yet imposed new sanctions on Russia because he believed a peace deal might be within reach. To Ukraine war will continue for battle between Ukraine against Putin / Russia federation untill year 2027 then can have peace talk.

The front near Sumy is heating up at an unprecedented level, & Russia pushes into Ukrainian territory, it’s now reportedly losing its own land in the process. Occupiers are enraged, but the tide is turning — this could be game-changer. Full frontline updates, military insight, and NATO’s possible role — all in this episode.
Public anger is growing in Germany as hundreds protest against Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s proposal to send Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. Demonstrators in Bavaria denounced the move as a dangerous provocation that risks dragging Germany deeper into the war. Critics — including some German lawmakers — argue the plan is not only militarily futile but also politically reckless, warning that arming Ukraine with Taurus missiles could escalate the conflict without changing its outcome. If Putin want WW-three, he must wait lehh. See below for infomation.
More test on weapons...
Then wait for a stepping stones to a full Global Conflict.

Currently France is spending a bit more than 2% of their Gdp on defence. This would be an increase by a factor upto 5%, a bigger factor than the russian increase from 2021 to 2024. It would, at the current French GDP of slightly more than 3 trillion, be over 150 billion, there by exceeding even military spending of CHINA. USA, which famously spends a ton of money on their military, spent 3.4% in 2023, the last year it was measured accurately enough for inclusion in statistics. While for Germany is also following the French also.

German lawmakers have voted to allow a huge increase in defence infrastructure spending - a seismic shift for the country that could reshape European defence. A two-thirds majority of Bundestag parliamentarians, required for change, approved the vote on Tuesday.
The law will exempt spending on defence and security from Germany's strict debt rules, and create a €500bn ($547bn; £420bn) infrastructure fund.
This vote is a historic move for traditionally debt-shy Germany, & could be hugely significant for Europe, as Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine grinds on, & SAO President Donald the duck, Solals Trump signalled a very uncertain commitment to Nato and to Europe's defence...

The German state govt representatives in the upper house, the Bundesrat, still need to approve the moves - also by a two-thirds majority - before they officially become law. That vote is set for Friday.
Friedrich Merz, the man behind these plans who is now already confirmed as Germany's new chancellor, told lower house during Tuesday's debate that the country "felt a false sense of security" for the past decade. "The decision we are taking today... can be nothing less than the first major step towards a new European defence community," he said, adding that it includes countries are "not members of the European Union".
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the vote "excellent news".
Speaking at press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, she said the vote "sends a very clear message to Europe that Germany is determined to invest massively in defence".
Frederiksen meanwhile called it "fantastic news for all Europeans".
Noted: Germany has long been cautious about defence spending, not just for historical reasons dating back to 1945, but also due to the global debt crisis of 2009. But despite fears the vote would be tight, lawmakers in the end voted in favour of the changes by 513 to 207 - comfortably over the two-thirds majority required.
One leading German newspaper described this vote as "A day of destiny for our nation". Under the measure, any spending on defence that amounts to more than 1% of Germany's GDP ONLY
would no longer be subject to a limit on borrowing. Until now, this debt brake has been fixed at 0.35% of GDP.
The change could transform the country's partially neglected armed forces in an era of great uncertainty for Europe. And this vote was not just about defence. It was also about freeing up €500bn for German infrastructure - fixing things like bridges and roads, but also to pay for climate change measures, something the Green Party insisted on.

Story continue from above...
Merz, whose CDU party won Germany's general election last month, proposed the measures swiftly after the win. In an interview on Sunday he specifically mentioned fears that Sao Trump or US could pull back from defending Europe & SAO Trump's talks with Russian Vladimir Putin, saying that the "situation has worsened in recent weeks". "That is why we have to act fast," Merz told public broadcaster ARD.
It is a significant political win for Merz, who will, as he takes power now as new chancellor, now have access to hundreds of billions of euros to invest in the state - what some in Germany have called a "fiscal bazooka". It is also an important moment for Ukraine. The defence plans approved today by the Bundestag also allow spending on aid for states "attacked in violation of international law" to be exempt from the debt brake.
That will enable outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz to release €3bn in aid to Ukraine as early as next week.
Merz chose to push the changes through the old parliament, knowing the vote arithmetic was more favourable now than it would be after 25 March, when the new parliament session begins. The far-right AFD and far-left Linke, which both performed well in February's election, oppose Merz's plans. Merz has still not agreed a coalition deal to govern Germany after his election win, and has announced ambitious plans to have a government in place by Easter. Coalition negotiations in Germany, however, can drag on for months at a time.

Russian losses in Ukraine hit a massive, and grim milestone on June 12 — 1 million Russian soldiers killed or wounded during the 39-month-long full-scale war, according to figures from Kyiv.
Although hugely symbolic, the number is unlikely to prompt a change in tactics from Moscow as it gears up for more offensives this summer, and escalates drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian civilians. But behind the figure lies an economic time bomb that the Kremlin will find impossible to ignore.
"(Russian President) Vladimir Putin made a fundamental strategic mistake in deciding how to resource this war," George Barros, Russia team lead at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), told the Kyiv Independent.

But behind the figure lies an economic time bomb that the Kremlin will find impossible to ignore. (Russian President) Vladimir Putin made a fundamental strategic mistake in deciding how to resource this war," George Barros, Russia team lead at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), told the Kyiv Independent.
"What Putin done, he created a system in which he doesn't use monopoly of violence of the Russian state to coerce Russians to go fight & die in Ukraine, as Soviet Union might have has done is he's created alternative social contract, pays one togo fight in Ukraine & die there.
"That strategy work if you're planning on running a short war. It does not work if running a multi-year protracted war."
Russia's two armies Russia effectively has two armies — a conscript army, and a contract army. Conscript army is the country's standing armed forces that are required to defend Russia itself. To maintain this force, the Kremlin conducts conscription twice a year, in spring and fall, requiring eligible men to serve for one year, in the latest draft, Putin signed a decree on March 31 ordering the spring conscription of 160,000 men.
But crucially, conscripts by law are not allowed to be sent abroad to fight wars in foreign countries, something which is not only a legal contract, but a social contract that is deeply embedded in Russian society — civil society groups consisting of the mothers of conscripts are perhaps the only group of Russian citizens that Putin is still forced to respect and listen to.
This is where Russia's contract army comes in.

"When the full-scale invasion started, the Russians attacked Ukraine with what they call the contract servicemen, the professional military who have some experience, and (voluntarily) sign contracts for a fixed period of time," Kateryna Stepanenko, Russia deputy team lead and analyst at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), told the Kyiv Independent.
But Russia soon ran into a problem — the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Kremlin had envisioned a swift and easy victory over Ukraine, and the capture of Kyiv within a matter of days. This proved to be a disastrous miscalculation and instead, many of Russia's most elite troops and modern equipment were obliterated by Ukrainian resistance.
As the war dragged on, and Russia's losses mounted, Moscow needed to replenish its forces without drawing upon its conscript army and announcing a full mobilization to avoid unrest.
A partial mobilization announced in September 2022 led to the only widespread protests against the war inside Russia during the entire full-scale invasion, making clear to Putin that announcing anything more would cause him serious problems.
"The Russians realized that they were in a challenging political situation?.“ Pay people to fight, this is only way of recruitment for the war now, ideologically motivated recruits ended in spring-summer 2022 and partial mobilization of the fall 2022 created domestic political tensions and risks which were considered as unacceptable for the Kremlin in those circumstances," a senior fellow with the Democratic Resilience Program at Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), told the Kyiv Independent. The contract soldier's price.
Russia's mounting losses throughout the war created a double-edged problem — more replacements were needed, but attracting what was clearly such a high-risk endeavour necessitated increasing rewards. The solution? Keep offering more and more money.

Putin used most brutal examples: As growing disorder within Russian ranks, several Russian soldiers near settlement of Nyzhnia Duvanka in Luhansk region turned on their own. By shooting killing their military police platoon commander & two of his barrier troop subordinates & run away, they sparked a frantic search op by Russian authorities, deserters left their comrades to lie dead on road while fleeing to save their lives from both Ukrainian & Russian fire, violent mutiny did not emerge in vacuum it is directly tied to hopeless bloodbath unfolding near Kupiansk front, specifically at the Pischane funnel. For months, Russian forces tried & failed to break through Ukrainian defenses here. Ukrainians has created a deadly trap by controlling the flanks, exposing any Russian assault to relentless drone and artillery fire from both sides. Yet commanders continue to send wave after wave of infantry to dies into the funnel, hoping to drive a wedge. Every new wave knows exactly how it will end, as almost no one from previous groups returns alive. Systematic of these assaults has been likened to mass execution, with soldiers pushed forward not for gain, but to serve as human battering rams or like live animal. To make matters worse, Russian troops are being sent into combat in improvised Mad Max-style vehicles, like the Gaz-69, which entered production in 1952, the year of Stalin’s death, and regular cars fitted with rudimentary armor or even none. Such improvised motorcycle squads and barely armored vehicles now lead the charge, only to be annihilated by Ukrainian FPV drones well be4 reaching the contact line. Desperate measures highlight not only material shortages, a total disregard for the lives of Russian troops. Ukrainian surveillance drones ensure that almost no movement goes undetected, meaning most assaults are decimated long before they engage the defenders. Despite the carnage. Reason lies in sheer brutality of punishments for refusing to fight. Soldiers who resist are subjected to medieval-style torture, some are thrown into pits without food before being forced to fight each other to the death to earn the right to live another day. In one documented case, soldiers were tied behind vehicles and dragged through the dirt, while other deserters were forced to bury each other alive as punishment and to serve as an example. In Lyman area, a surrendering Russian soldier spotted by Russian drone operators and targeted by his own artillery, highlights impossible choice facing many: surrender & be killed, or desert or hunted, some, turning against their officers seems to be the only escape.

To make matters worse, Russian troops are being sent into combat in improvised Mad Max-style vehicles, like the Gaz-69, which entered production in 1952, the year of Stalin’s death, and regular cars fitted with rudimentary armor or even none. Such improvised motorcycle squads and barely armored vehicles now lead the charge, only to be annihilated by Ukrainian FPV drones well be4 reaching the contact line. Desperate measures highlight not only material shortages, a total disregard for the lives of Russian troops. Ukrainian surveillance drones ensure that almost no movement goes undetected, meaning most assaults are decimated long before they engage the defenders. Despite the carnage. Reason lies in sheer brutality of punishments for refusing to fight. Soldiers who resist are subjected to medieval-style torture, some are thrown into pits without food before being forced to fight each other to the death to earn the right to live another day. In one documented case, soldiers were tied behind vehicles and dragged through the dirt, while other deserters were forced to bury each other alive as punishment and to serve as an example. In Lyman area, a surrendering Russian soldier spotted by Russian drone operators and targeted by his own artillery.
Putin's used them as an uncastrated male sheep.
Highlights impossible choice facing many: surrender & be killed, or they try to desert or to be hunted, some, turning against their officers seems to be the only escape.

Deep inside Russia, Ukrainians are launching coordinated precision strikes to diminish effectiveness of Russian drone strikes on Ukraine. With strikes aimed at fiber optic & battery factories, Ukrainians are targeting all element of Russian production chain that enables them to produce drones. Russia recently launched one devastating drone strikes on Ukraine, deploying over 400 drones, 40 cruise missiles, & 6 ballistic missiles.
It reflects Russia’s surging production, over 2,000 Shahed drones and 2,000 Garpiya drones per month, plus thousands of Gerbera decoys to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses. Will Ukraine holds an edge in drone quality, production, and adaptability?, Russian drone remain a major obstacle for the Ukrainians, bolstered by Russian mass production of lethal fiber-optic variants.
As summer offensive is underway, the Ukrainians understand must cut down production numbers of Russian drones as much as possible. To achieve, they have launched another massive drone strike campaign targeting Russian ability to even produce & field FPV drones in the first place.
This rejust, the Ukrainians still strucking the Kronshtadt plant in city of Dubna nearMoscow resulted collapsing of their the factory roof. Kronshtadt has led Russian drone development for 15 years, producing and designing advanced drones for the Russian army. On top of that, Ukrainians struck Elma technopark in Zelenograd to the north of Moscow, inflicting damage to the main building of it. The facility, located in the heart of Zelenograd, hosts development of IT, microelectronics, robotics, and medical technology. during a night strike, which caused a strong explosion visible in the distance. Satellite footage revealed that the factory suffered significant damage, with the partially collapsed roof of the production hall revealing that the fire engulfed everything inside. This factory is used to produce batteries for Russian.
Ukrainians also targeted enemy fiber-optic factory in Saransk. A strike caused severe damage to main building, setting it on fire, factory remained out of commission, as it is the only fiber optic plant in Russia, the Ukrainians launched a follow-up strike just as the repairs were completed. This complemented by an even devastating strike against a hidden Russian drone assembly factory in the city of Obukhovo in the Kaluga region. The Ukrainians managed to strike the plant again, it cause huge fires
several explosions, which forced the local officials to evacuate the area also important to note that, as previously reported, Ukrainians struck massive Yelabuga drone factory with 6 fab bombs, primary Russian facility producing most Russia’s Shahed drones.
So, Ukrainians hit every segment of all Russian drone production chain; design, microelectronics, fiber optic wire production, battery, and final assembly lines.All will directly result in a lower number of Shahed& FPV drones Russians can launch, meaning that Russian drone strikes will be more manageable to Ukrainian air defenses, exponentially reducing civilian casualties.
Ukrainian logistics lines & reinforcement routes can keep up their strike campaign, further to undermine Russian production, it results Ukrainian soldiers on ground have fewer drones to worry about means Ukrainian defense lines can maintain and expect a steadier inflow of newer supplies, reinforcements, and rotations, crucial to Ukrainians to repel Russian summer offensive effectively.
Overall, Ukrainians are conducting a strike campaign right deeper into Russia to inflict tremendous blows to Russian to reduce to lower intensity of drone strikes against Ukrainian civilian and military infrastructure. The lowered number of drones launched in strikes against Ukraine, in combination with the work of Ukrainian air defense, will lead to a point where the impact of their strikes is reduced to a minimum.

Israel says to achieved air superiority over western Iran capital of Tehran. If accurate, a major issue for Iran's ability to keep their leadership alive & be able to mount any sort of serious response, with this news we should expect an increase in Israeli airstrikes in coming hours into next few days & have more info on Iranian nuclear scientists eliminated as well as some additions to the IRGC leadership taken out in first 24 hours. Iran continued their attacks of Israel with some missiles getting through air defense resulting in a reported 3 people killed, 70 wounded. Finally, does appear US has begun defensive ops to assist Israel in shooting down incoming Iranian munitions. Iran stated that this opens up US to being attacked as well.
