In a stark assessment delivered at the Collective Security Treaty Organization's defense ministers’ meeting in Kazakhstan, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov revealed that Ukraine has lost over 35,000 troops and thousands of pieces of weaponry in May alone.
Belousov emphasized that the Russian military is systematically reducing Ukraine’s combat potential, crippling their ability to resist effectively.
Faced with significant battlefield losses, Kiev has resorted to intensified attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure in an attempt to demonstrate strength to its Western supporters.

Dmitry Medvedev shared a video of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile striking a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk, clarifying that it wasn’t an ICBM, but a medium-range missile developed after the US withdrew from the INF Treaty. The strike responded to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles against Russian territory. Putin warned further actions by Ukraine and its allies would trigger a suitable response, emphasizing the Oreshnik’s speed makes it invincible to air defenses.

In a striking statement during his visit to Kazakhstan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made it clear that the breakdown in relations between Russia and the United States was not Moscow's doing. He emphasised that it is up to the U.S., under the incoming Trump administration, to take the first step toward restoring diplomatic dialogue. Lavrov asserted that Russia is ready to engage in talks, but only if the U.S. is willing to approach negotiations without imposing unilateral demands. His remarks came amid rising tensions between the two countries, and Lavrov warned that unless the U.S. changes its approach, relations will continue to deteriorate.

Russia launched its first-ever intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine, targeting critical infrastructure in Dnipro. This unprecedented strike marks a significant escalation in the conflict, following Ukraine's recent attacks inside Russian territory using U.S. and British missiles. The long-range missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, heightens tensions and raises concerns about potential nuclear confrontation, with Putin's altered nuclear doctrine adding to the uncertainty.

The US Embassy in Kyiv closed temporarily after a warning of a significant air attack, with staff instructed to shelter in place. This move follows Ukraine’s use of US-supplied ATACMS missiles against Russian territory. In response, Russia has lowered its nuclear response threshold, intensifying risks of further escalation. These developments mark a crucial point in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, now entering its 1,000th day.
