Frontline situation
Ukraine gained nearly 100 square kilometers more territory than it lost in May and launched its first coordinated strikes on military-industrial targets in Moscow and the surrounding region, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said. He added that Ukrainian operations caused an estimated $1.06 billion in damage to Russia during the month.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces struck two major oil depots in occupied Crimea, an FSB command post in Russia's Belgorod region, and several Russian military sites overnight, according to the General Staff. The attacks targeted fuel infrastructure, ammunition storage, and troop concentrations supporting Russia's war effort.
