Russian shelling and air attacks killed five people outside the southeastern Ukraine city of Zaporizhzhia, while a drone attack on the northeast region of Sumy injured at least six early on Monday (June 2, 2025), including two children, regional officials said.
Ivan Fedorov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said three women died in a series of Russian shelling incidents targeting the village of Ternuvate, east of Zaporizhzhia late on Sunday (June 1, 2025). A shop and several homes were badly damaged.
A man died in a nearby district in a Russian strike by a guided aerial bomb, Mr. Fedorov said. A total of nine people were injured in the Russian attacks and a private home was destroyed.
Two children were among those injured in a Russian drone attack on the Sumy region, Oleh Sinehubov, the Governor of the region, said on Monday (June 2, 2025) on Telegram.
"A 7-year-old boy is among the victims," Mr. Sinehubov said. He added that several buildings throughout the regions were damaged.
The attacks come as both Russia and Ukraine are about to meet for a round of peace talks, trying to find a way to end the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion on its smaller neighbour more than three years ago.

Putin Dollar Shock For Trump After BRICS Declaration? Russia's Big De-Dollarisation Announcement Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov clarified that BRICS nations don't aim to replace the US dollar, but rather seek alternatives for mutual settlements to circumvent US sanctions. He stated BRICS intends to trade in national currencies, with Russia already conducting 90% of payments with partners in local denominations. This counters US President Trump's concerns and threats of tariffs on BRICS countries, who are also developing "BRICS Pay," a decentralized blockchain payment system for cross-border transactions. 42.2K views | 2 days ago

Trump Accuses Obama of 2016 Coup Attempt Obama Responds: "Bizarre, Baseless & Dangerous"

President Donald Trump has stirred major controversy once again—this time accusing Barack Obama of orchestrating a 2016 coup and fabricating evidence of Russian interference. In a rare public rebuke, Obama's office dismissed Trump's allegations as "bizarre" and "a weak distraction from facts." Adding fuel to the fire, Tulsi Gabbard released a report backing Trump's narrative and accusing top Obama-era officials of treasonous named Obama, Joe Biden, James Comey, and James Clapper as part of what he called an "illegal political gang." Gabbard's report recommends prosecutions and challenges the credibility of long-standing intelligence findings. But bipartisan investigations—like those led by Robert Mueller and Senator Marco Rubio—confirm Russian meddling in the 2016 election, even if vote tallies were this political warfare or a dangerous distortion of truth? Watch the full breakdown. App -

Ridiculous, weak attempt at distraction: Obama rebukes Trump's 'treason' charge

Former US President Barack Obama's office on Wednesday reacted to President Donald Trump's 'treason' remark made over the alleged manipulation of intel related to Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Trump made the remarks against Obama as he deflected from the question he was asked regarding the Justice Department's decision to interview Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. 'Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,' said Patrick Rodenbush, an Obama spokesman. 'But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' What did Trump say? Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of efforts to "undermine" his 2016 US Presidential campaign and trying to "steal" the election. Trump had won the 2016 presidential polls, defeating opponent Hilary Clinton. "It's there, he's guilty. This was treason," Trump said on Tuesday. "They tried to steal the election, they tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever imagined, even in other countries," Trump said. His remarks came in light of the intelligence assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Months after the elections that year, a US intelligence report indicated that Russia used "social media disinformation, hacking and bot farms" to damage Hilary Clinton's campaign and boost Trump's. However, Trump's intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard recently threatened to refer some Obama administration officials for prosecution over the assessment, alleging there was a "treasonous conspiracy' in 2016 to undermine Trump. "The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold," Trump said. He also accused Obama of trying to "lead a coup", threatening action against him and his former officials. "It's time to start, after what they did to me, and whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people. Obama has been caught directly," Trump said.
