Ukraine-Russia war live: Drone video shows Putin troop position wiped out in huge explosion
Drone footage shows Russian forces wiped out in huge explosion
Dramatic drone footage shows the moment a Russian troop position is completely wiped out by a bomb in a huge explosion seen miles away from the impact.
The clip was published by Ukraine’s defence ministry, which did not give any further details of the drone attack, although said it was carried out by the 72nd Mechanized Brigade.
Earlier, president Vladimir Putin was accused of committing war crimes “on steroids” in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. US Republican senator Lindsey Graham also warned that the threat of the Kremlin using nuclear weapons was “real”.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Democrat senator Richard Blumenthal, he said: “Senator Blumenthal and I want to put everybody in this congress on notice that the threat of a use of a nuclear device by Russia is real and the best way to deter it is to give them clarity as to what happens if they do that – they will be in a war with NATO.”

Russian mercenary boss says invasion based on lies
Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has said the official Kremlin-backed version of why Moscow invaded Ukraine was based on lies concocted by his perennial adversary – the army’s top brass.
Prigozhin has for months been accusing Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, of rank incompetence, but now for the first time he has rejected Russia’s core justifications.
“… the Defence Ministry is trying to deceive society and the president and tell us a story about how there was crazy aggression from Ukraine and that they were planning to attack us with the whole of Nato,” Mr Prigozhin said in a video clip released on Telegram by his press service, calling the official version “a beautiful story”.
“The special operation was started for different reasons,” he said.
“The war was needed … so that Shoigu could become a marshal … so that he could get a second ‘Hero’ [of Russia] medal. The war wasn’t needed to demilitarise or denazify Ukraine.”
He also said the war had been needed to acquire “material assets” to divide among the ruling elite.

Ukraine to bring officials to justice over bomb shelter deaths – Zelensky
Ukraine’s top security body decided on Friday to bring officials to justice over the deaths of three people who were locked out of a bomb shelter during a Russian missile strike, president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday.
Zelensky said the National Security and Defence Council had met and discussed the security of the Ukrainian people, judicial reforms and Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
“A quarter of bomb shelters in Ukraine and a third in Kyiv are unfit for use,” Zelensky said on the Telegram messaging app, citing an audit of air raid shelters that he ordered following the three deaths on 1 June.
“The decision of the National Security Council is to bring the guilty to justice, and to get all protective structures in the proper condition.”

Russia won’t tell US number of nuclear warheads in Belarus
Russia will not inform the US about the number of nuclear warheads it is stationing in Belarus or tests of its nuclear-capable Poseidon torpedo, the Interfax news agency quoted deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Friday.
Moscow and Minsk say Belarus has already begun receiving the Russian tactical, or short-range, nuclear weapons that president Vladimir Putin had publicly promised to station there, as tensions with the West soar over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“I deeply doubt that this topic will become the subject of any public discussion or disclosure on our part,” Ryabkov was quoted as telling reporters in the southern town of Sochi.
“For decades the United States has kept its tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of a number of European countries, and it never gives exact numbers.”

ICYMI: Suspected Russian diplomat is occupying the nation’s vetoed embassy site in Australia’s capital
A suspected lone Russian diplomat is apparently squatting on the site of Moscow‘s proposed embassy after the Australian government vetoed the plan on security grounds. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dismissed the Russian act of defiance, saying a “bloke standing in the cold on a bit of grass in Canberra is not a threat to our national security.”
Parliament passed emergency legislation last week blocking on security grounds Russia’s lease on the largely empty block because the new embassy would have been too close to Parliament House.

Our counter-offensive is a ‘success’ – Ukraine deputy PM
Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal has described his country’s counter-offensive against Russia’s invading troops as a “success”.
Mr Shmyhal, who was in the UK this week for the Ukraine Recovery Conference, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “The counter-offensive is not only offensive.
“It can take time. It is not an easy walk. In the past two weeks, we have liberated more than 113 square kilometres of our territory.
“And we go … seven kilometres into the deep of the front line of the occupied territory. So it is a success and we continue this counter-offensive operation.”
Speaking about the post-war rebuild, the Kyiv politician said that, should the country’s armed forces expel Moscow’s forces, then the reconstruction could cost “double” the current World Bank estimation of 411 billion US dollars (£323 billion), which applies “only to damages” on land currently under Ukraine control.
It comes after the London recovery summit saw £50 billion promised to help rebuild the Ukrainian economy.
