Details: The family was evacuated from the town of Vorozhba, which is one of the most heavily attacked areas in the oblast.
The 36-year-old mother, along with her three sons aged 12, 7, and a newborn, has been taken to a safer place.
"The baby has not yet seen a world without war; his little life began in conditions where every day is a trial," the police added.
An elderly couple was also evacuated from the town of Bilopillia. They had long refused to leave their home until the attacks became too dangerous. A 64-year-old man and his 59-year-old wife had hoped that "everything would pass" and that their home would "withstand".
"We never thought we would be fleeing from war in our old age," the couple said. "But we are deeply grateful to know we have not been forgotten."
Background: Earlier, White Angels police evacuation teams evacuated a woman and her 12 dogs from Sumy Oblast. The woman had refused to leave the dangerous settlement earlier because she could not abandon her pets.

Putin warns Trump he will "respond" to Ukraine's Operation Spider's Web
US President Donald Trump has said he had a "good conversation" with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin on Wednesday 4 June, though not one that would "lead to immediate peace". Source: Trump on Truth Social, as reported by European Pravda Details: Trump stated that his phone conversation with Putin "lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes". Quote: "We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace." Details: Trump added that Putin "did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields". The US and Russian leaders also discussed Iran. Quote: "I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion." [N.B. Ukrainska Pravda does not recognise Putin as president – ed.] Background: The last time the US president spoke with the Kremlin leader was on 19 May, after which Trump stated that Ukraine and Russia would "immediately start" peace negotiations. NATO has hailed the Security Service of Ukraine operation targeting Russian strategic aircraft as highly successful. However, the White House stated that Ukraine has increased the level of risk through its actions. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Poland investigates how air defence systems destined for Ukraine were left unattended
Polish authorities are looking into how air defence equipment intended for Ukraine came to be left without adequate supervision. Source: Polish news portal RMF24, reported by European Pravda Details: The Przemyśl Prosecutor's Office is conducting an investigation into the mishandling of weapons and ammunition by an unnamed private company. According to RMF24, the company had been tasked with transporting air defence systems to Ukraine, which were being supplied commercially by a private entity, not the Polish government. For unspecified reasons, the transportation did not take place and the equipment was stored in warehouses near the Ukrainian border. Although initially guarded, the warehouses were later reportedly left "largely unattended". The Polish Ministry of Defence stated: "The containers of ammunition and weapons found in Laszki, Subcarpathian Voivodeship [province – ed.], are not the property of the Polish armed forces. The relevant services are securing the site and equipment." Jacek Dobrzyński, spokesperson for the minister responsible for coordinating Poland's special services, confirmed that the weapons had been stored by a licensed private arms trading company, and that they were air defence systems "similar to those that former police chief Jarosław Szymczyk brought from Ukraine". In 2022, Jarosław Szymczyk mishandled a functional Ukrainian grenade launcher in his office, causing minor injuries. The weapon had been gifted to him during a visit to Ukraine. In 2024, he was charged with illegal importation and endangerment related to the incident. Dobrzyński clarified that the equipment had been intended for Ukraine. "The warehouse was unattended, and this is a scandal. Such weapons must be properly stored and protected," he added. Background: Poland scrambled fighter jets and heightened its air defence readiness in response to a large-scale Russian missile attack on Ukraine on the night of 24-25 May.
