No military or personal data leaked during cyberattack on Ukrainian railways
There was no leakage of military or personal information during the cyberattack on Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian railways), as it is not stored in the system.
Source: Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, chairman of the board of Ukrzaliznytsia, Novosti.LIVE reports
Details: Pertsovskyi said that special protocols and closed communication channels are used to exchange military information.
"Even if the enemy tried to get this information, it is protected," Pertsovskyi said.
As for the personal data of passengers, he said, Ukrzaliznytsia does not store this data.
"We have a data exchange, in particular, with Diia. Everything is structured in such a way that we just get a response from the system – confirmation/non-confirmation for certain people, without storing personal data of passengers," Pertsovskyi explained.
Background:
On 23 March, Ukrzaliznytsia's online systems suffered a large-scale targeted cyberattack. Tickets were sold through ticket offices at railway stations.
On 27 March, Ukrzaliznytsia's online sales system was restored in a backup format for the purchase of new train tickets and their refund.
On 30 March, Ukrzaliznytsia restored two more online services after a large-scale cyberattack. In particular, the Ukrzaliznytsia app and website offer discounts for disabled people again, and online displays of all railway stations are now available in the app.

Trump says Putin called to wish him a happy birthday ‒ and talk about Iran
Trump says Putin called to wish him a happy birthday ‒ and talk about Iran Trump, who turns 79 on June 14, said: 'President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran.' Show Caption Hide Caption 'No Kings Day' rallies counter Trump's Flag Day military parade In all 50 states, grassroots groups are organizing "No Kings Day" rallies to oppose Donald Trump's military parade, set to take place on his birthday. WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin called to wish him a happy birthday and talk about the war between Israel and Iran, which Trump said "should end." Trump relayed his morning phone call with Putin in a June 14 post on Truth Social. The conversation occurred before Trump is set to mark his 79th birthday in the evening by attending a military parade on the streets of Washington D.C. to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. "President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. We talked at length," Trump said in the post. More: 'They didn't die of the flu': Trump says Iran nuke deal 'hardliners' killed in strikes Trump said Putin "feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end." Nevertheless, Trump said he and Putin spent "much less time" talking about Russia's war in Ukraine during the approximately one-hour call. He said that topic "will be for next week." Trump has embraced a friendly relationship with Putin, a stark departure from former President Joe Biden who helped rally much of the world to condemn the Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Trump has blamed both Putin, long considered a U.S. adversary, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for their countries' war. More: Iran launches missile counterattack on Israel after punishing airstrikes In response to Israel's June 13 airstrikes on Iran targeting nuclear sites, Iran launched three retaliatory waves of missiles at targets in Israel as Israelis rode out the attacks in bomb shelters and world leaders discussed the deepening conflict. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov confirmed the call between the world leaders, telling reporters, "Vladimir Putin condemned Israel's military operation against Iran and expressed serious concern about a possible escalation of the conflict, which would have unpredictable consequences for the entire situation in the Middle East." According to Ushakov, Trump described events in the Middle East as "very alarming." The two leaders also said they do not rule out a return to the negotiating track on Iran's nuclear program, Ushakov said. Trump told Reuters on June 13 his administration knew about Israel's plans to attack Iran beforehand. He said he gave Iran a 60-day deadline to agree to a revised nuclear deal with the U.S. After a deal was not reached, Israel attacked on the 61st day. "We knew everything, and I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out," Trump said. "They can still work out a deal, however, it's not too late." Contributing: Reuters Reach Joey Garrison on X @joeygarrison.

What to know about the G7 summit Trump is attending
Group of Seven leaders, including President Trump, will gather in Canada on Sunday. The big picture: The meeting will take place on the heels of Israel's attack on Iran, while the U.S. faces deepening divides with other allies over Gaza, Ukraine and his sweeping tariffs, especially the one between the U.S. and Canada. When and where is the 2025 G7 summit? The 51st summit will take place from Sunday to Tuesday in Alberta, Canada. It will be held in the remote resort town of Kananaskis, which previously hosted a G8 summit in 2002. Who will attend the G7 summit? The G7 includes leaders from the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain. The European Union is typically also in attendance, along with other heads of state who aren't a part of the Group of Seven but were invited by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed he'll be there, with a meeting expected between him and Trump months after their last in-person meeting during Pope Francis' funeral. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will be present and said she, too, plans to meet with Trump. First-timers will include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Canada and U.S. tensions Trump is traveling to Canada after repeatedly threatening the northern neighbor's sovereignty. Flashback: During his first term, Trump blew up the G7 meeting in 2018, which was also held in Canada, tearing up an agreement reached by the world leaders.

Ukraine repatriates 1,200 civilian, military remains

Photo by Stringer/EPA-EFE June 14 (UPI) -- Russia and Ukraine exchanged an unreported number of prisoners of war on Saturday during the fourth such exchange during the week. Ukraine also received the bodies of 1,200 dead civilians and military personnel from Russia. The bodies are in addition to 2,412 that were sent to Ukraine on Wednesday and Friday and are being released per agreements reached during recent negotiations in Istanbul, the Kyiv Independent reported. "The remains will now undergo forensic examination and identification procedures conducted by law enforcement investigators in cooperation with expert institutions under the [Ukrainian] Interior Ministry," officials for the Coordination Headquarters Prisoners of War said in a prepared statement. Identifying the bodies enables respective Ukrainian families to recover them for burial. Ukrainian and Russian officials agreed to exchange the bodies of 6,000 soldiers and civilians for each side for a total exchange of 12,000 bodies. Although the two nations agreed to exchange bodies, Russian officials said Ukraine did not return 1,200 bodies during Saturday's exchange. Russia and Ukraine are also exchanging prisoners of war who need medical care. Ukraine has transferred wounded Russian soldiers who have been captured, including many who were transferred directly from the frontlines. As cease-fire negotiations continue to end the war that began when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Russia has continued to strike Ukraine with drone attacks. Russia is on pace to strike Ukraine with nearly 7,000 drones, which would exceed the record number of 4,198 drones launched against Ukrainian military and civilian targets in March. "This is terrorism against the civilian population aimed to create a series of doom, war-weariness and to put pressure on the [Ukrainian] authorities," Liveuamap co-founder Rodion Rozhkovskiy told the Kyiv Independent. While the war in Ukraine and related negotiations continue in Istanbul, Russian President Vladimir Putin called President Donald Trump on Saturday to wish him a happy birthday and discuss matters in Iran during the one-hour call. "We talked at length," Trump said in a White House statement issued after the phone call ended. "Much less time was spent talking about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week," Trump said. He said Putin knows Iran "very well" and agreed the war between Israel and Iran should end. Trump said he told Putin, "his war should also end" in Ukraine. The president did not offer more details on his conversation with Putin. Russian forces on Friday captured the Ukrainian village of Yablunivka, which is located in northeastern Ukraine and about 5 miles from the border between the two nations, Russian officials announced on Saturday. Russian forces also reportedly captured the villages of Koptevo and Komar in the eastern Donetsk region in Ukraine and six in total over the past week.
