💬 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Ballistic missiles are Russia’s last remaining argument in this war, and we must find sufficient countermeasures. I thank our partners and Mark Rutte that the PURL initiative exists and is functioning – contributions were made this May. There will be contributions in June as well. Today, we discussed how we can accelerate and expand deliveries under this key program.

I also thank all our partners who are already working with us on joint production and helping with funding so that weapons production in Ukraine can continue to grow. We discussed with the NATO Secretary General several other things that could provide Ukraine with stronger long-term financial security guarantees. We will keep working on this at both the G7 Summit and the NATO Summit in Ankara.

Sanctions against Russia. Our long-range capabilities. Financing for Ukraine. Our political cooperation. And our partners’ determination to help Ukraine precisely when help is needed – all of this sends signals to Russia that this war will bring it no results. All of this is also an incentive for Russia to turn to diplomacy. And we very much hope that over the summer and autumn we will be able to bring a real peace closer – a fair and dignified peace. I thank everyone who is helping."

During a recent Russian attack on Kyiv, a young deer escaped from the wild and was found hiding under the car. He was severely stressed and had wounds.

Volunteers have rescued the fawn and he’s now at .ua. His condition seems to be severe and he’s currently undergoing IV treatment. UAnimals have already contacted the rescue centre and suggested help.

Our hearts are with all people and animals who are suffering from war in Ukraine 💔

Rescue operations continue following Russia’s large-scale overnight attack on Ukraine. In the Dnipro region, 12 people were killed, including two children and a rescuer who died in a repeated Russian strike while responding to the aftermath of the attack. At least 37 people were injured, including four children.

In Kyiv, four people were killed and at least 64 injured. Residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged across several districts of the capital.

This morning, Russian forces struck a residential area in Sumy, injuring three people and damaging an apartment building.

Overall, Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types against Ukraine overnight. Without stronger protection against ballistic missiles and other aerial threats, these attacks will continue. Ukraine needs additional Patriot missiles and stronger support from its partners to protect lives and stop Russia’s terror.

🇺🇦🇮🇹 Sincere congratulations to Italy and our colleagues at Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale on Republic
Day and the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic.

We deeply value Italy’s steadfast support for Ukraine – from strengthening our
resilience to advancing our EU path and mobilizing international efforts for Ukraine’s
recovery.

We are especially grateful to all Italians for the warmth and care they have shown
to Ukrainians who have found safety and temporary shelter in Italy during Russia’s
war against Ukraine.

Best wishes for continued success, prosperity, and peace.

Buona Festa della Repubblica!

On the night of June 2, Russia launched another large-scale attack against Ukraine.

In Kyiv, Russian attack killed four people and injured at least 58, including three children. The strikes damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure across several districts of the capital. A nine-storey residential building was hit, causing the partial collapse of its upper floors. Emergency services continue to search the rubble as people may still be trapped underneath.

In the Dnipro region, seven people were killed and 35 injured in Russian attacks on residential areas in Dnipro and Kamianske. Among them are 3 kids. During rescue operations following the initial strike, Russia launched a second attack that killed a rescuer. Search and rescue operations continue.

In the Kharkiv region, Russian attack injured at least 14 people, including a child. Residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were damaged in several communities across the region.

In the Chernihiv region, a 15-year-old boy was injured. Among the damaged facilities are warehouses, a school and private homes.

Russia continues to wage war against civilians. More pressure on the aggressor, stronger sanctions, and more support for Ukraine’s air defence are needed to save lives.

🌍 On May 25, the Youth Council under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, with the support of the Department of Africa and Regional African Organizations of the MFA, organized an international online dialogue between Ukrainian youth and representatives of national youth councils from African countries dedicated to the implementation of the global Youth, Peace and Security agenda.

The event became a unique platform for direct dialogue between Ukraine and countries of the African continent. Participants discussed practical mechanisms for implementing the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250, institutional youth participation in security processes, the role of youth councils in shaping public policy, and responses to contemporary global challenges — from hybrid threats to digital disinformation.

Representatives of youth councils and civil society from various African countries joined the discussion, including:
▫️ Millicent Sethaile — Board Chair of the Botswana National Youth Council (BNYC);
▫️ Alhafiz Hassan Ahamat — youth activist, Secretary-General of Action Pour la Solidarité et le Soutien aux Couches Vulnérables, and Country Director of Global Peace Chain in Chad;
▫️ Opembe M. Amuko — Chairman of the Informed Ballot Movement (IBM).

The event marked an important step toward strengthening Ukraine’s partnership with African countries and opened new opportunities for international youth cooperation in the field of peace and security.

We would also like to express our special gratitude to Liubov Abravitova , Director of the Department of Africa and Regional African Organizations of the MFA of Ukraine, and Oleksiy Syvak, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Republic of Botswana, for their support and contribution to the organization of the event.

💬 "Since the onset of this war, we realised that our resources are not equal and we cannot prevail in a direct confrontation.

Instead, Ukraine spent years developing asymmetric solutions. Now we see them playing out in full – on the battlefield, in diplomacy, and in cognitive warfare.

On the land, Russia’s manpower is no longer a decisive advantage thanks to Ukrainian drones and new tactics. Russia’s advances have stalled. Ukraine stabilised the frontline and holds the line.

In the sea, the entire Russian Black Sea Fleet has been either destroyed or neutralised thanks to naval drones. Its remains hide in faraway bases, but we get them even there.

In the sky, thousands of cost-effective interceptor drones are neutralising 92% of Russian combat drones. The goal now is to develop our own protection from ballistics together with European partners. This is a matter of strategic autonomy.

In economy, Ukraine’s long-range sanctions are effectively crippling Russia’s war machine by daily strikes on legitimate military targets of up to 2,000 kilometres inside Russia. There are no safe places in Russia anymore. Probably not something Putin saw coming when he attacked Ukraine.

We take the same asymmetric approach in diplomacy. When the world expressed deep concerns over the Iranian strikes in the Gulf, Ukraine acted. We showed not only to the Gulf states but to the whole world Ukraine’s new role as a reliable security partner.

We are deepening ties with countries from Latin America to Africa, South Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Indo-Pacific, where Russia’s influence gradually fades.

In energy, horrific Russian bombardments over the past winters taught us to decentralise and build resilient systems and approaches. We are now ready to share this experience with others.

In digital sphere, Ukraine is one of the most advanced nations on the planet: from digital public services to mil-tech and the use of AI and big data in governance. It has become one of our export positions.

At the end of the day, it turns out that David actually has cards", Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

Kyiv is a city where centuries coexist side by side.

Ancient gates, cathedrals, monasteries, historic districts, and squares preserve the memory of the people and events that shaped Ukraine’s capital across generations.

This Kyiv Day, we’re sharing six places that tell the story of a city that has changed, resisted, and continued to live through more than a millennium 💙💛

Happy Kyiv Day! 🇺🇦

The team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine extends its warmest wishes to everyone who holds Kyiv close to their heart on – the day of a city that has remained the heart of our statehood for centuries.

The streets of Kyiv remember princes, artists, scholars, diplomats, and millions of people who, throughout different periods of Ukrainian history, helped shape the future of our nation – and those who continue to do so today.
