Day 117 in Russia’s war against Ukraine: krone.at reports live on the most important developments of the day.
The most important of the day in a nutshell:
- President Zelenskyi sees his country facing the historic opportunity to run for EU membership, but at the same time warns of serious fighting. “A truly historic week begins on Monday.”
- The governor of the Zaporizhzhya region, Oleksandr Starukh, warns of a drinking water disaster. The iron ore plant could therefore pollute the drinking water around Zaporizhzhya.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has described the war with Russia as an artillery war. The Russian troops would outnumber the artillery by 15:1.
- “The amount of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs has almost doubled – from €6.7 billion in April to just over €12.5 billion today,” the European Commission spokesman said.
- In May, Russia sold more oil to China than ever before, making it the largest oil supplier to the People’s Republic.
