Recent war events in the east of Ukraine
Since the beginning of the day, the occupying forces have launched 83 assaults on the positions of our defenders, while Russian artillery continues to relentlessly shell the Ukrainian border areas.
Today in the Sumy region, the settlements of Rohizne, Ryzhivka, Korenok, Neskuchne, Tovstodubove, Buniakyne, Bachivsk, Sopych, and Yastrubshchyna came under enemy artillery fire. In the Chernihiv region, Halahanivka and Zarichchia were hit. An airstrike was carried out on the settlement of Sloboda in the Sumy region.
On the Northern Slobozhanskyi and Kursk directions, one combat engagement took place. There, the enemy also carried out two airstrikes using five guided aerial bombs. In addition, 30 attacks were recorded on our positions and peaceful villages, including two attacks with multiple launch rocket systems.
On the Southern Slobozhanskyi direction, the occupiers attempted twice to break through the defense near the settlements of Vilcha and Okhrimivka. One intense combat engagement is still ongoing.
On the Kupiansk axis, the occupiers launched two assaults, attempting to push back our units near Novoplatonivka and Kupiansk. One engagement is still ongoing.
The enemy was also active on the Lyman direction, carrying out 11 assaults near the settlements of Derylove, Drobysheve, Stavy, Lyman, Ozerne, and Yampil. One engagement here is still ongoing.
On the Sloviansk direction, Ukrainian warriors successfully repelled seven attempts by the occupiers to advance in the areas of Rai-Oleksandrivka, Kalenyky, Kryva Luka, and Zakitne.
On the Kramatorsk and Prydniprovskyi directions, no offensive actions by the occupiers were recorded.
On the Kostiantynivka direction, our defenders successfully stopped seven enemy attacks aimed at breaking through our defensive lines near Kostiantynivka, Ivanopillia, Rusyniv Yar, and Illinivka.
On the Pokrovsk direction, the enemy attempted 23 times to dislodge our defenders from their positions in the areas of Vilne, Kucheriv Yar, Rodynske, Hryshyne, Pokrovsk, Novomykolaivka, and Udachne. Two engagements are still ongoing.

Ukrainian defenders are steadily exhausting the enemy’s forces both along the entire line of contact and in their rear areas.
Russian terrorists are shelling Kostiantynivka with banned white phosphorus munitions. Dozens of burning elements are falling on residential neighborhoods of the city. White phosphorus ignites upon contact with oxygen and burns at extremely high temperatures, causing large-scale fires. The Russian occupiers continue to apply pressure and attempt to expand control over surrounding areas in order to absorb the city. Kostiantynivka is currently under constant enemy shelling.
All types of Russian missiles cannot be produced without components imported from other countries. “Five Kalibr missiles contain 145 such components. 33 Iskander missiles contain 1,122 components. 650 attack drones of various types contain more than 17,000 components without which they cannot be produced. These are large-scale schemes to bypass sanctions, and this is direct complicity in killings,” said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to him, Russian troops are moving toward the Dobropillia area to “straddle” the highway and continue their offensive northward to occupy the entire region. He also noted that the kill zone is expanding by 5–10 km every six months, and Russian forces are using “Kozak” artillery systems to support infantry operations.
Russian forces have changed their logistical route to Berdiansk in order to avoid strikes, according to Petro Andriushchenko, head of the Center for the Study of Occupation. Occupying forces now use the Mariupol–Melekine–Azovske–Yalta–Manguh–Urzuf–Berdiansk route. He said transport now moves only in convoys escorted by armed personnel with machine guns and small fire groups, while individual trucks are used only for local transport.

He said the strike hit the driver’s cab from above, likely aiming to cause maximum harm. The armor withstood the impact, and the driver was not injured. At the time of the attack, the vehicle carried “Proliska” representative in Donetsk region Yevhen Tkachov, a volunteer from “Volontery vid Boga,” and the driver.
During the night of June 3, Russian drone attacks on Kramatorsk caused a large fire: utility buildings and vehicles burned, the State Emergency Service in Donetsk region reported.

On June 2, police recorded 1,277 Russian attacks along the frontline and on civilian areas of Donetsk region. Ten settlements came under fire: Dobropillia, Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk, Mykolaivka, Sloviansk, Malotaranivka, Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, Shabelkivka, Iverske, and Kindrativka.

In the Luhansk region, the occupiers also fired three times using mortars and barrel artillery, employed automatic grenade launchers, and launched 11 drones toward Ukrainian defenders.
In the so-called “LPR,” restrictions on fuel sales have been introduced: gas stations now dispense only up to 20 liters per customer. The occupation administration explains this as allegedly increased demand rather than the shutdown of several oil refineries. At the same time, a rapid restoration of fuel supplies is not expected, with authorities relying only on local reserves and anticipating further deterioration of the situation.
Forced mobilization into the Russian army, including of highly qualified specialists from workplaces, has triggered a labor market crisis in occupied Luhansk region. Some industrial enterprises find it easier to shut down than to recruit new staff. As a result, the occupiers have decided to introduce labor standards for teenagers, aiming to secure cheap labor.
