Ukraine officials, including Kyrylo Budanov and Vasyl Bodnar, returned Polish state awards in protest against Warsaw's decision to revoke President Zelensky's highest state honor. The move escalates recent tensions between the two allies, sparked by Ukraine's approval of naming a military unit after the controversial WWII nationalist group UPA.
A Russian State Duma deputy, Viktor Vodolatsky, stated that if Ukraine's current presidential office chief, Kyrylo Budanov, is appointed commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he would act as an even greater terrorist. Vodolatsky claimed Budanov is a 'terrorist squared' and that his appointment would brand Ukraine's political elites as terrorists.
Ukraine's chief of staff stated ending the war by winter is realistic, while Kyiv faced heavy Russian attacks. France detained a Russian oil tanker, and dozens of countries denounced Russia at the UN over a drone incident in Romania.
烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基的幕僚長布達諾夫表示，在冬季前結束對俄羅斯戰爭的協議是「切實可行」的。他預計美國代表團將訪問莫斯科與基輔，並指出烏克蘭已加強對俄羅斯境內目標的打擊。
Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine's presidential office, stated that Russia has more pressing threats than the Oreshnik missile system, including Iskander, S-400, air and sea-based cruise missiles, and drones. This follows a May 24th Russian retaliatory strike using various missiles and drones.
Tensions are reportedly growing between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his chief of staff, Kyrylo Budanov, due to Budanov's political ambitions and active information campaign, according to "Strana.ua" citing unnamed sources.
