Defense of Ukraine

We have proposed the highest pay in the world for infantry and assault troops. Under the new system, infantry personnel will receive an average monthly remuneration of UAH 300,000, while assault troops will receive even more, with maximum monthly remuneration reaching UAH 460,000. That is equivalent to just over $10,000. mod.gov.ua/en/news/first-…

Giraffe radars are the reliable eyes over Ukraine's skies. Thank you, Sweden! 🇸🇪🤝🇺🇦 These cutting-edge systems by @Saab give Ukraine's air defence a real-time 360° picture of the sky. They spot threats from cruise missiles to low, slow drones, refresh every second, and relocate before the enemy can react. mod.gov.ua/en/news/the-wa…

I met with the Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, @MathiasCormann. Ukraine’s membership in the OECD is very important to us. And today, we are taking a step in this direction – the Prime Minister submitted Ukraine’s official updated application for OECD membership. We hope to receive candidate status as early as this autumn. The next stage is a roadmap toward OECD membership. We discussed this during the meeting. We also paid special attention to Ukraine’s progress on the path to European integration and the implementation of reforms necessary for rapid progress toward EU membership. We also spoke about the implementation of the European Union’s financial support package, the strengthening of sanctions against Russia, and engagement with partners. I am grateful to Mathias Cormann and the OECD for their support for our people on our path of reforms and toward peace.

Donetsk region is beautiful — and worth defending with everything we have. Snipers of the 18th Sloviansk Brigade, National Guard of Ukraine, make sure of it. 🇺🇦

This Ukrainian-made unmanned ground vehicle doesn’t carry weapons — it clears mines. Currently undergoing testing, the remote demining system can help reduce risks to sappers while restoring access to contaminated land. 📹: @United24media

Efforts are currently underway in Kryvyi Rih to deal with the aftermath of the Russian missile strike on the city. The Russians targeted civilian infrastructure. First responders have already extinguished the fire. As of now, tragically, three people have been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. More than 20 people have been wounded. Three of them are in serious condition. Everyone is receiving the necessary assistance. Every such day and every Russian strike prove that the pressure on the aggressor over this war is insufficient. They also prove that every delay in implementing air defense agreements, any delay in supplies needed to protect Ukraine and Ukrainians, effectively costs lives. It is important that the world not remain silent about the fact that Russia has still taken no real step toward ending this war. To all our proposals for diplomacy, meetings, and steps toward peace, we have received no clear response from the Russians. Pressure is needed. Pressure on Russia, so that the situation changes for the better. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

A busy night in occupied Crimea. Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces birds struck: ⛽️ Oil storage at Kerch thermal power plant ⚡️ West Crimea electrical substation 🔥 Simferopol gas distribution station 🛩 3 Orion attack UAVs near Kerch 🎯 Pantsir-S1, S-300, ZU-23, Nebo-U radar 📹: @usf_army

Today is the Day of the Center of Special Operations “Alpha” of the SSU: professional, brave, and motivated warriors who carry out complex and important missions every day for Ukraine’s security. Over the years of the full-scale war, Alpha fighters have destroyed thousands of pieces of enemy equipment and inflicted enormous losses on the occupiers. These warriors are behind up to 20% of all enemy infantry losses. This is a high level of effectiveness that speaks for itself. Thanks to Alpha’s long-range operations, the enemy is feeling the consequences of its own aggression far from the front lines, deep in Russia’s rear. And there are even more successful operations ahead. Thank you to every Alpha warrior for your service and for the results you deliver for the country. Eternal honor and gratitude to all those who gave their lives defending Ukraine. Glory to our defenders! Glory to Ukraine!

Russia's oil industry advent calendar, June 2026 — filling up nicely. Rest-of-month forecast: 🔥Heatwave to continue 💨Heavy smoke, low visibility across strategic facilities Stay tuned!

95% Ukrainian-made. That's the share of drones our Defence Procurement Agency now buys at home. Last year UAVs overtook ammunition purchases for the first time — and the trend holds. mod.gov.ua/en/news/95-of-…

800K+ verified enemy targets have been struck by Ukraine’s drone units since the beginning of the year, accounting for over 90% of all battlefield engagements. This includes a record-breaking May with 181K+ targets hit. Huge thanks to our operators for shaping the new doctrine of warfare in real-time. — @FedorovMykhailo

In just the past few days, Ukraine's Defence Forces hit an oil depot, gas compressor stations, "Pantsir" and S-400 air defense systems, and "Nebo-U" and "Kasta" radar stations across the peninsula. "The tourist season in Crimea this year will be only for our drones." — Minister @FedorovMykhailo Expect heavy fire, zero visibility for sunbathers.

A plant in Voronezh that builds electronics for Russia’s Iskander systems and Kh-101 cruise missiles has been hit — degrading Moscow’s ability to produce the very weapons it fires at Ukrainian cities.

Small drones. Big hits. Ukrainian interceptor-drone crews are knocking Russian UAVs out of the sky over the border — Shaheds, Lancets, Orlans, Molniyas, all of it — long before they reach their targets.

“If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied.” Alfred Nobel The combat losses of the enemy from February 24, 2022 to June 22, 2026.

Shark is one of the drones used by Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance teams. Its combat radius reaches up to 80 km. Within it, the drone can fly a total of 300 km over 4 hours. Swappable payloads let crews pick the best camera for the mission — day or night. 📷: @413_raid

Just yesterday, Russian guided aerial bomb strikes on Zaporizhzhia killed 5 people and injured 26 others. In Poltava, tragically, 2 people were killed and 12 were injured as a result of the shelling, including 6 children. My condolences to their families and loved ones. The Dnipro, Kharkiv, Odesa, Sumy, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, and Rivne regions also came under attack. Our frontline and border communities are constantly targeted by drones. In total, this week alone, the Russians launched about 2,200 attack drones, more than 1,800 guided aerial bombs, and 87 missiles of various types against Ukraine. It truly matters that, against the backdrop of these attacks, the G7 and European Council summits and the UDCG meeting delivered results and secured new contributions to strengthen our defense. I am grateful to our partners for their unity. It is now equally important to implement everything quickly, above all the delivery of air defense missiles, so that these new contributions provide real protection for lives from constant Russian strikes. Thank you to everyone who is helping.

Last night, our long-range sanctions targeted the occupiers’ military logistics, oil industry, and air defense. All of this is a just response to Russia’s brutal attacks against our people. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Special Operations Forces for their successful work at a distance of about 300 kilometers from the frontline. Facilities on both sides of the Crimean Bridge were hit: maritime logistics used to transport oil in the Krasnodar region and an oil depot in temporarily occupied Kerch. In addition, military logistics facilities were successfully struck, along with four radar stations belonging to S-400 systems and two Pantsir systems. I am grateful to all our warriors for their precision and professionalism. Russia understands only strength, and our long-range strength is certainly working for peace. Glory to Ukraine!
