Ukrainian General Mykhailo Drapatyi has resigned after a deadly Russian missile strike on June 1 hit the 239th Polygon training base near Dnipro, killing 12 and wounding 60 young conscripts.
Drapatyi confirmed the site was previously targeted in March and demanded accountability for any negligence.
Ukraine’s military is investigating possible command errors that led to the tragedy.
With growing Russian focus on Ukrainian training grounds, the incident marks one of the deadliest in recent months, prompting public outrage and scrutiny.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has appointed General Mykhailo Drapatyi as Joint Forces Commander, just days after his resignation over a deadly Russian strike in Dnipro that killed 12 unarmed recruits. Drapatyi will now oversee frontline combat, with another officer handling training. Amid rising Russian missile attacks and internal military tensions, Drapatyi has blasted Ukraine's “toxic command culture” and called for urgent reforms. Analysts see the move as part of Zelensky’s broader attempt to balance rival factions and reassert control over Ukraine’s war effort.

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

Donald Trump will host Qatari Prime Minister Al-Thani at the White House Wednesday as Gaza ceasefire negotiations enter a decisive phase. The dinner meeting will focus on Qatar’s mediation role, a potential 60-day truce, and phased hostage releases. Trump, who recently spoke with Emir Sheikh Tamim, is also expected to discuss Iran’s nuclear program. Earlier, Trump expressed optimism for a ceasefire breakthrough. Meetings with Bahrain’s king and crown prince signal a broader push for Middle East peace and Israeli troop withdrawal.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

President Donald Trump arrives at the NATO summit in The Hague amid escalating tensions over Russia’s war in Ukraine. In a stunning revelation, Trump claims Putin offered help on Iran—but he fired back, saying “I need help with YOU.” Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Dnipro suffers a deadly missile strike killing 11 and injuring 160, intensifying Zelensky’s calls for tougher sanctions. Trump pushes for a deal with Russia, questions NATO’s Article 5, and pressures allies on a 5% GDP defense pledge. Is NATO cracking? Is Trump rewriting the rules of global power?

Russia has reportedly entered Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, expanding its war zone beyond Donetsk. While Kyiv dismisses the claim as propaganda, military analysts confirm geolocation evidence of Russian advances. The strategic push threatens to encircle Pokrovsk and compromise Ukrainian defenses. This penetration, though limited, could escalate the war and shift negotiations. Western experts warn of summer offensives as Russia aims to isolate key cities and tighten its grip on southeastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military holds firm, but the situation on the Dnipro front grows increasingly tense.
