- The parties consented to exchange the remains of 6,000 fallen soldiers and to repatriate all prisoners of war who are seriously ill, severely injured, or under the age of 25.
- Kyiv officials announced that a recent drone strike targeted air bases located over 7,000 kilometers inside Russia, resulting in significant damage to upwards of 40 Russian warplanes.
- Senior officials on both sides remain far apart on key conditions for ending the war, suggesting low hopes for near-term peace despite proposed talks between June 20 and June 30.

Talks between Russia and Ukraine to end the war are at a near standstill.
Ukraine, Russia hold peace talks but make no breakthrough after major attacks
Following Istanbul talks, Russia tempered expectations for a swift resolution in Ukraine, demanding troop withdrawal from annexed regions as a precondition for a ceasefire. Kyiv seeks a full cessation of hostilities, while Moscow proposes a partial truce. Amidst stalled negotiations, civilian areas are targeted, prompting Zelensky to urge stronger international action and sanctions against Russia.
There is talk of peace, but it is not being achieved. The second round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, held on June 2, again ended without results.
