[Korrespondent] 21:28 Borrell believes that the war in Ukraine can continue at least until the presidential elections in the United States: “Since we committed to support Ukraine at the beginning of the conflict, we must continue to support until they are unable to resist and until Putin decides stop the war. But this will not happen soon, unfortunately."  At the same time, the diplomat called for continued support for Kyiv: “At the same time, we must continue to support the people of Ukraine. Europeans will not die for Donbass, but we can help Ukrainians not to die for Donbass even longer.” 17:41 In Orenburg, Russia, a mainline diesel locomotive of the 2TE10M brand was burned to the ground today, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reported. A similar incident occurred on April 26 in Vladikavkaz - then the diesel locomotive ChME-3 was burned at night. Intelligence officials emphasized that the liquidation of the rolling stock of the Russian railway reduces the capabilities of military logistics of the Russian Federation. 17:15 Zelensky said that he had a telephone conversation with House Minority Leader Gakeem Jeffries,
16:27 The Russians attacked one of the industrial facilities of Zaporozhye - information about the destruction is being clarified, no people were injured, said the head of the OVA Ivan Fedorov. 15:56 The situation at the front has worsened, the Russian army has concentrated its main efforts in several directions, but is actively attacking along the entire front line and has tactical successes in some places, Syrsky said. According to him, the most difficult situation is in the Pokrovsky and Kurakhovsky directions, where Russia has deployed up to four brigades, and is trying to develop an offensive west of Avdeevka and Maryinka, making its way to Pokrovsk and Kurakhovo. Defense Force units moved to new lines west of Berdychi, Semyonovka and Novomikhailovka. In these directions, the enemy achieved certain tactical successes, but was unable to gain an operational advantage. The enemy also had partial success in the Kupyansk direction - in the areas of the villages of Stelmakhovka and Berestovo, but was stopped. The increase in numbers and regrouping of enemy troops in the Kharkov direction is being monitored. In the Seversk direction, the Russian army is advancing in the area of Belogorovka and Razdolovka, trying to break through and blockade Seversk in order to create conditions for continuing the offensive on Slavyansk. There has been no success; progress in this direction has been stopped. In the Kramatorsk direction, the hottest spots remain Ivanovskoye and Chasov Yar. The enemy is also trying to regain control of Kleshcheevka and reach the line via the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal. At the same time, in the Kherson direction, Ukrainian units managed to advance in the Veletensky area and establish control over the island of Nestryga. The Defense Forces also managed to improve the tactical situation in the Sinkovka area (Kupyanskoye direction) and Serebryansky forestry (Limanskoye direction). 14:39 Italy will supply Ukraine with long-range SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles, British Defense Minister Grant Shapps said in an interview with The Times. Previously, missiles of this type were already supplied to Ukraine by Great Britain and France. It is known that Italy had 200 such missiles in service. Italy itself has not yet announced a decision to supply long-range missiles to Ukraine, the publication notes. 11:52 Germany is categorically against plans to seize frozen assets of the Russian Federation for the restoration and military support of Ukraine, writes The Wall Street Journal. According to the publication, Berlin fears that this will create a precedent and provoke new lawsuits against Germany for crimes of the Second World War. Germany believes Russian assets should be left intact so they can be used as leverage in any negotiations to end the war and force Russia to cede some of the Ukrainian territory it has seized. 10:41 Russian military public pages write about an attack by ATACMS missiles on air defense systems at Cape Tarkhankut in Crimea. 10:34 In the morning, the Russians attacked a hotel in the historical part of Nikolaev, said the head of the OBA Vitaly Kim.

At the same time, analysts admit that Russian troops could gain significant tactical advantages in the coming weeks while Ukraine awaits help from the United States, but are unlikely to be able to defeat Ukrainian defenses. 07:58 In the morning, the Russians attacked Nikolaev with drones, resulting in severe damage to the hotel building.
