Few people in Kyiv managed to sleep today. Drones were buzzing in the air all night, air defense firing. I want to say that when a ballistic missile is shot down nearby, it is a special feeling. The whole house trembles from the vibration. And the explosions from drone and missile hits are different from the explosions when they are shot down in the air. When you hear several drones at the same time and don't understand where they are flying, especially when they fly very close, the hair on your skin stands on end.
Surprisingly, I felt relatively well today, although some employees went home early to sleep.
In the morning, the city was covered in smoke, which indicated that there were quite a few hits.
There are dead and injured, several residential high-rises are burning in Kyiv, and a maternity hospital and an ambulance station have been destroyed in Odessa.

https://deepstatemap.live/#8/48.2590000/36.0350000NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte believes that a long-term ceasefire in Ukraine will allow russia to increase its weapons stockpiles, increasing the risks for the bloc’s member states. He expressed this opinion during a speech at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London (Chatham House) on June 9.
Among other things, Rutte agreed that the fact that russia, after a possible ceasefire in the war against Ukraine, will start accumulating weapons, increasing the risks for NATO.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Western partners are delaying tougher sanctions against russia, including because Ukraine does not mobilize people from the age of 18 into the army. He said this in an interview with the Hungarian publication Válasz Online, published on June 10.
"I have never said this before, but since you asked, I will tell you what I think, because this is a delicate issue: I do not believe that we should mobilize people from the age of 18, as leaders of other countries believe," Zelensky said when asked about the problems with mobilization in Ukraine.
According to him, Operation Spiderweb, during which Ukrainian drones hit many military aircraft at russian airfields, showed that "it is not the number of people that is important, but weapons and technology."
"And money and pressure. Sanctions could deprive the russians of money to finance the war. But when it comes to sanctions, Western partners, among the reasons why they do not impose them, say, in particular, that Ukraine has not mobilized since the age of 18," Zelensky noted.
In the same interview with Válasz Online, Zelensky said that Ukraine can mobilize 27 thousand people per month, while "the russians can mobilize from 40 to 50 thousand, because their losses are greater."
