Details: The company's entire machinery fleet was destroyed in the attack – including tractors, seeders and harvesting equipment.
The warehouses suffered extensive damage: roofs and storage bunkers were destroyed, making the buildings unusable.
"The scale of destruction is enormous – almost no property survived. Everything we have built over the years was wiped out in a single night," the company commented.
Early estimates place the company's total losses at over UAH 60 million (about US$1.4 million).
The agricultural company cultivates 630 hectares of farmland and is one of the oblast's key producers.
Background: Russian forces attacked the village of Vasyshcheve in the Kharkiv district with drones, causing a fire on the premises of two civilian businesses.

Britain pledges to deliver 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain pledged on Wednesday to supply 100,000 drones to Ukraine by the end of the current financial year in April 2026, marking a tenfold increase, after saying the unmanned aerial vehicles had transformed the way wars are fought. The government on Monday endorsed an independently-produced Strategic Defence Review, which calls for a more lethal, tech-driven army to counter emerging threats, including possible Russian aggression. Britain, one of Ukraine's staunchest Western supporters, plans to learn from Kyiv's more than three-year fight against Russian invasion, during which drones have transformed the battlefield. The 350-million-pound ($473 million) drone package is part of a broader 4.5-billion-pound military support initiative for Ukraine, the government said. Defence Secretary John Healey will make the announcement at a 50-nation Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting in Brussels, co-hosted with Germany. "The UK is stepping up its support for Ukraine by delivering hundreds of thousands more drones this year and completing a major milestone in the delivery of critical artillery ammunition," Healey said in a statement ahead of the meeting. In addition to the drone deliveries, Britain said it has completed the shipment of 140,000 artillery shells to Ukraine since January and will spend a further 247 million pounds this year training Ukrainian troops.

Kremlin dismisses likelihood of Putin-Trump-Zelensky meeting
The Kremlin has dismissed the likelihood of a trilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky taking place in the near future. 'Well, frankly speaking, unlikely [that it will happen] in the near future,' Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, according to Russian state media outlet TASS. Peskov also added that Putin is prepared for the meeting, but that it must 'result from agreements developed at the technical level, at the expert level.' Ukrainian and Russian delegations met for the second time in person on Monday in Turkey. The meeting, which lasted just over an hour, did not yield a breakthrough in terms of ceasefire talks, but both sides did agree to swap more prisoners. The White House has previously said that Trump is open to having a meeting with both Putin and Zelensky. Russia and Ukraine are still far apart on reaching a deal to end the three-year war in Eastern Europe. Russian state media has reported that the Kremlin's demands include not allowing Ukraine to be a part of any military alliance, downsizing Ukraine's military, having Ukraine's military withdraw from partially occupied regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, having Russian as the country's official language and lifting of international sanctions. Ukraine has pushed for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, which Russia has refused to sign on to. Ukraine is demanding that Kyiv have no restrictions on the size of its military in any agreement, war reparations and that the international community refuse to recognize the Kremlin's sovereignty in parts of Ukraine that it currently occupies. Trump has pushed for months to end the biggest land war in Europe since World War II and has recently grown frustrated with Putin over the Russian military's aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities. The talks between the two sides in Turkey came a day after Ukraine unleashed a devastating aerial attack, unleashing smuggled drones deep inside Russia's territory to bomb the Kremlin's air bases. Ukrainian officials said the drones took out a third of Russia's bomber fleet, damaging or destroying over 40 aircraft. Ukraine said on Tuesday that it utilized underwater explosives to strike a bridge that connects Russia to Crimea. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Rare Russian spy planes damaged in Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb, Telegraph reports
At least two A-50 Russian surveillance aircraft were damaged in Ukraine's June 1 drone strike inside Russia, the Telegraph reported on June 3, citing footage viewed by the publication. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) executed Operation Spiderweb on June 1, targeting four key air bases and destroying around 40 heavy bombers by smuggling trucks of first-person-view (FPV) drones deep inside Russia. Footage shared with the Telegraph reportedly shows Ukrainian drones hitting two A-50s, rare Russian spy planes that Moscow relies on for several critical functions in its full-scale war against Ukraine. Drones struck the radar domes of two A-50 aircraft, according to the Telegraph. One plane appeared to be protected by sandbags along its wings, while the other had tires arranged across its airframe. Open source satellite images from May 2 appear show two A-50s stationed at the Ivanovo air base in Russia's Ivanovo Oblast, one of the airfields targeted in Operation Spiderweb. The footage shared with the Telegraph makes it clear that these are the same A-50s damaged in the June 1 attack. The video also reportedly shows several Tupolev bombers in flames after sustaining direct hits from Ukrainian drones. An SBU source told the Kyiv Independent on June 1 that A-50s were among the aircraft hit in the attack, but the claim could not be verified at the time. Russia's A-50s detect air defense systems, guide missiles, and coordinate targets for Russian fighter jets. The aircraft carry an estimated price tag of around $350 million. They are also extremely rare: Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR), said in February 2024 that Moscow only had six A-50s in its arsenal. Ukraine previously shot down two A-50s in January and February 2024. Kyiv's audacious drone strike deep within Russia took 18 months of planning and dealt a major blow to Russia's fleet of bombers — only days after Moscow launched a series of record-breaking mass aerial attacks against Ukraine. The SBU reported that the operation caused approximately $7 billion in damages and disabled 34% of cruise missile carriers in key Russian airbases.
