Key Takeaways from the ISW:
- Russian forces conducted yet another devastating drone and missile strike series against Ukraine on the night of June 1 to 2, heavily targeting Kyiv City. The Russian strikes killed at least 22 civilians and injured at least 130.
- Russia’s June 1 to 2 strikes are part of a pattern of escalating Russian strikes against Kyiv City intended to take advantage of Patriot interceptor shortages and distract from Russia’s inability to secure its deep rear from Ukrainian long-range strikes as well as from its battlefield setbacks.
- Neither Russian nor Ukrainian forces made confirmed advances throughout the theater in the past day.
