Zelensky praises Ukraine's security service for ‘brilliant operation' against Russian warplanes
Volodymyr Zelensky praised Ukraine's security service for the "brilliant operation" that saw drone swarms target "military targets" deep inside Russian territory.
'Today, a brilliant operation was carried out. The preparation took over a year and a half,' the Ukrainian president said in his nightly address on 2 June.
'What's most interesting is that the 'office' of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions.'
Kyiv claimed the drone attack destroyed over 40 Russian warplanes.
The attack came on the same day Zelensky announced that Ukraine would send a delegation to Istanbul for a new round of direct peace talks with Russia on Monday.

Zelensky condemns ‘brutal' rocket attack after four killed in Ukrainian city
According to authorities, a barrage of multiple rockets struck apartment buildings and a medical facility in the centre of the north-eastern city a day after direct peace talks made no progress on ending the three-year war. Mr Zelensky said one of the rockets fired at Sumy pierced the wall of an apartment building but failed to detonate. 'That's all you need to know about Russia's 'desire' to end this war,' Mr Zelensky wrote in a post on Telegram. 'It is clear that without global pressure, without decisive action from the United States, Europe, and everyone in the world who holds power, (Russian president Vladimir) Putin will not agree even to a ceasefire.' At talks in Istanbul on Monday, delegations from the warring countries agreed to swap dead and wounded troops. But their terms for ending the war remained far apart. Russian President Vladimir Putin (Gavriil Grigorov, Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP) The war has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides along the roughly 620-mile front line where the war of attrition is grinding on despite US-led efforts to broker a peace deal. Though Russia has a bigger army and more economic resources than Ukraine, a spectacular Ukrainian drone attack that Ukrainian officials said damaged or destroyed more than 40 warplanes at air bases deep inside Russia was a serious blow to the Kremlin's strategic arsenal and its military prestige. Both Mr Zelensky and Mr Putin have been eager to show US president Donald Trump that they share his ambition to end the fighting, thereby aiming to avoid possible punitive measures from Washington. Ukraine has accepted a US-proposed ceasefire, but the Kremlin effectively rejected it. Mr Putin has made it clear that any peace settlement has to be on his terms. A senior Ukrainian delegation led by first deputy prime minister and economy minister Yuliia Svyrydenko has travelled to Washington for talks about defence, sanctions and post-war recovery, Andrii Yermak, the head of Ukraine's presidential office, said. The delegation will meet with representatives from both major US political parties, as well as with advisers to Mr Trump, Mr Yermak added. Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president who now serves as deputy head of the country's Security Council chaired by Mr Putin, indicated there would be no let-up in Russia's invasion of its neighbour. 'The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else's delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction of (Ukraine's government),' he said. In an apparent comment on the latest Ukrainian strikes, he declared that 'retribution is inevitable'. 'Our army is pushing forward and will continue to advance,' Mr Medvedev said, adding that 'everything that needs to be blown up will be blown up, and those who must be eliminated will be'. Ukrainians on the streets of Kyiv welcomed their country's stunning drone strike on Russian air bases but were gloomy about the chances for a peace agreement. The Russians 'won't negotiate peace with anyone,' said 43-year-old Ukrainian serviceman Oleh Nikolenko. 'Russia has invested too many resources in this war to just … stop for nothing.' Anastasia Nikolenko, a 38-year-old designer, said diplomacy cannot stop the fighting. 'We need to show by force, by physical force, that we cannot be defeated,' she said. Russia has recently expanded its attacks on Sumy and in the Kharkiv region following Mr Putin's promise to create a buffer zone along the border that might prevent long-range Ukrainian attacks hitting Russian soil. Sumy is about 15 miles from the Russian border. It had a prewar population of around 250,000.

The Defence Review was anything but strategic
It is hard to imagine a major policy looking more outdated within hours of being announced than the Labour Government's Strategic Defence Review (SDR). On Monday, Sir Keir Starmer made a series of grandiose promises about great improvements to Britain's Armed Forces and other security requirements, yet failed to commit the money to pay for them. The Government has raided the overseas aid budget to boost spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP but the Prime Minister declined to set a firm date for when the budgets would rise to 3 per cent. This would happen sometime in the next parliament if circumstances allowed. However, Nato is poised to introduce a new target for allies to spend 3.5 per cent on hard defence and 1.5 per cent on cyber, intelligence and military-related infrastructure, a total of 5 per cent – something not seen in Britain since the Cold War. Doubtless many will refuse to sign up, just as they have all failed to meet the bloc's previous target of 2 per cent. For the UK, the uplift would amount to an extra £30 billion in real terms on top of the spending already planned. Military chiefs have said the Government's promise of new submarines, more ordnance and munitions, an enhanced cyber warfare programme and an improved nuclear deterrent cannot be met on current financial projections. But having claimed to be leading Europe on defence, Sir Keir has no option but to agree at the Nato summit in The Hague later this month, the first to be attended by Donald Trump since his re-election. Indeed, it is the US president's refusal to countenance America's historically high level of support for Europe's defences that has led Nato to seek a far greater contribution from continental countries. The Treasury is completing a spending review which could make big savings in welfare and social programmes but only at the risk of triggering a backlash from Labour MPs. The Government is effectively stymied by its own overblown rhetoric and election manifesto promises. Sir Keir dismissed calls to set specific spending targets as 'performative fantasy politics'. But if the deployments needed for the next two or three decades are to be met then commitments have to be made now. Labour's defence review failed to address what is a generational challenge. To call it 'strategic' was a total misnomer.
