Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced on Telegram that Ukraine's defence forces struck over 200,000 Russian military assets in June. Fedorov noted that the number of strikes on Russian logistics continues to rise, and the number of targets hit more than 50 km from the frontline nearly doubled.

In June, Ukrainian troops killed or seriously wounded nearly 28,000 occupiers. Several records were set: a record number of Russian artillery systems were destroyed; 49,575 Russian fixed-wing drones and multirotor drones were intercepted – the highest figure on record; and an all-time record for destroying Russian vehicles and motorcycles was achieved.

Fedorov emphasised that every strike has been verified on video. The so-called "E-points" system allows real-time battlefield observation, helping to quickly identify effective solutions and scale them across the military.

Several months ago, the Ministry of Defence stated that drone requirements would be automatically generated based on battlefield data.
