Day 611 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the war is gradually returning to Russian territory, after three Ukrainian drones were shot down over Moscow.

Many are likely to be exchanged for Ukrainian soldiers captured by Russian forces.
Russians passing through Kramatorsk surrendered after brutal fire as Ukrainian forces attacked Russia's first line of defense near the town of Velyka Novosilka in the Donetsk region.

Ukraine announced that its forces have retaken three villages in the eastern region of Donetsk, the first reported gains of their new offensive.

But three people were killed and at least another 23 wounded as Russia shelled a rescue boat evacuating civilians from Russian-controlled territory, the Kherson region prosecutors' office said on Sunday.

Day 467 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

"On the morning of June 4, the enemy launched a full-scale offensive on five sectors of the front in the direction of the southern Donetsk region," the ministry said in a statement, adding that "the enemy did not achieve its goal and did not succeed."
The ministry said that the Ukrainian army led the offensive with six mechanized battalions and two tank battalions.

Russia said Monday it had repelled "a large-scale offensive" by Ukrainian forces in Moscow-annexed Donetsk, as fighting intensified along their border.

Kiev has for months said it is preparing a major counteroffensive, hoping to reclaim territory lost since Russia launched its military operation in February 2022.

No attacks on infrastructure or civilian targets were reported, reports Reuters.
The Ukrainian army announced that Russian planes are in the air and that there is a danger of being hit by Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.

This is just one of many videos of disgruntled Russian soldiers since Moscow launched an attack on Ukraine last February.
Russian soldiers most often complain about insufficient equipment and training and a bad command structure.
