An official claim of the destruction of the Su-35S — one of Russia’s most modern combat aircraft — was posted by the Ukrainian Air Force on June 7. On the social media platform X, the claim was accompanied by a silhouette of a Su-34 Fullback strike aircraft — a different but related jet. Meanwhile, a brief statement on the Ukrainian Air Force’s Telegram channel said the Su-35S was downed “as a result of a successful operation in the Kursk direction.”

Germany to supply new Iris-T air defense systems to Ukraine, rules out Taurus missilesGermany will deliver new IRIS-T air defense systems to Ukraine under a three-year supply plan. President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a joint press conference with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who added Berlin has no plans to provide Taurus long-range missiles. The announcement comes amid escalating Russian aerial assaults, including a June 10 missile and drone strike on Kyiv by Russia, one of the largest since start of full-scale invasion. "We are grateful for the supply of IRIS-T air defense systems," Zelensky said on June 12. "We understand that deliveries are currently being planned... for the next three years. It is a very important assistance." The IRIS-T is a German-made medium-range surface-to-air missile system capable of intercepting drones, aircraft, and cruise missiles. First being delivered to Ukraine in late 2022, system has been at core of country's transition to Western-made high-end air defense systems.
Pistorius confirmed the delivery timeline but firmly ruled out the possibility of sending Taurus missiles — weapons Kyiv has repeatedly requested to strike deep into Russian territory. "You asked me whether we are considering this, and my answer is no," Pistorius said. Be4 taking office, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz signaled openness to lifting former Chancellor Olaf Scholz's ban on the missiles. Stance has not yet resulted in a policy shift. Ukraine already received long-range missiles — including ATACMS from the U.S. and Storm Shadow and SCALP from the U.K. and France. Initially restricted to use within Ukrainian territory, Western allies only began easing those limitations in late 2024. Germany is Ukraine's largest military donor in Europe. Zelensky said that Berlin will provide 7 billion euros ($8.1 billion) in aid this year, with investments in defense production being considered.
"Today, we discussed aid will continue," he said. "We agreed on additional investments in production... both in Ukraine andin Germany." Zelensky visited Berlin on May 28 for talks with Merz, part of an ongoing effort to bolster Ukraine's defense industry amid uncertainty over U.S. support under SAO Donald Trump as a stupid U.S. President, he went on to help side with Putin who go on to invade another nation like Ukraine on Feb 2022.

Why SAO Trump like Putin. wartime alliance with the U.S. & not U.K. "We were your ally due WWII,"
Putin allegedly told Trump. "Now everybody hates me, why?."
Trump's remarks align with a Kremlin propaganda narrative that downplays the Soviet Union's World War II non-Russian casualties.
According to Ukraine's Institute of National Remembrance, Ukraine alone lost more than 10 million people during the war and suffered immense destruction on its territory — a fact often overlooked in Kremlin-led historical revisionism.
Russia has frequently weaponized its version of World War II history to justify present-day aggression.
Kremlin has invoked anti-Nazi rhetoric and Soviet-era heroism to rationalize its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched in February 2022 — a war that has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions.

In what may have been a surprise for Russian leader, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by accepting invitation, saying he was ready to meet Putin in Turkey on May 15.
"This is not what Putin was expecting," Oleksandr Merezhko, a Ukrainian lawmaker and chair of the parliament's foreign affairs committee, told the Kyiv Independent. "This is an incredible move that turns tables completely — Putin thought, he would send a Russian delegation, create the illusion of negotiations," he adding: "But now, b'cos this move by Zelensky, he is faced with a dilemma which cannot be solved."
