Russia has decided to unilaterally change the country’s maritime borders with Lithuania and Finland in the Baltic Sea, according to a draft resolution of the Russian government. According to the document prepared by the Ministry of Defense, Russia intends to declare part of the water area in the east of the Gulf of Finland, as well as near the cities of Baltiysk and Zelenogradsk in the Kaliningrad region, as its internal sea waters. On the border with Finland, the Russian Federation intends to adjust the coordinates in the area of the islands of Jähi, Sommers, Holland, Rodsher, Maly Tyuters, Vigrund, as well as near the northern entrance cape of the Narva River. On the border with Lithuania, the area of the Curonian Spit in the Gulf of Gdansk, the areas of Cape Taran, the cape south of Cape Taran, as well as the Baltic Spit came under review. The current geographic coordinates established by the USSR Council of Ministers in 1985 “do not fully correspond to the current geographical situation,” the Russians say.

The railway, which the Russian Federation is building as an alternative to the Kerch bridge, currently operates only on one section of the route and is not fully functional, said Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces. "It really does not yet connect Crimea with other occupied territories in the south of Ukraine; the road is just being built. It is being built quite quickly, and indeed, the Russians plan to use it primarily to ensure the military logistics of their southern group in order to supply everything they need without interruption for conducting hostilities," said Pletenchuk. He emphasized that this railway is a legitimate target for the Armed Forces and that the Ukrainian military has enough opportunities to destroy it.

Russian troops have begun the first stage of exercises to test the preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons, the Ministry of Defense reports As part of this stage, missile formations practice the task of obtaining special ammunition for the Iskander complex, equipping missiles with them, and covertly advancing to the position area in preparation for launches. Previously, the department reported that Russia would conduct exercises in response to threats from Western officials. For example, British Foreign Minister James Cameron said in early May that Ukraine could use British weapons on Russian territory.

Former commander of the 58th Army of the Russian Armed Forces Ivan Popov was arrested on suspicion of fraud Mash reports this with reference to law enforcement agencies. Popov is accused of illegally selling two thousand tons of metal structures worth about 100 million rubles, which were intended for the construction of a defense line in a combat zone. The Gray Zone Telegram channel, close to the Wagner PMC, connects the case with the conflict that occurred in July 2023: then Popov made a report to Army General Valery Gerasimov, where he spoke about problems in the army. Within 24 hours, Popov was removed from his post by then Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. “He was sent to Syria. If my memory serves me correctly, he spent about six months in Syria, after which he was summoned to Moscow, where he became a witness in a criminal case right at the airfield. Even then it was clear to me that the status of the respected general would soon be changed. If you believe public information, which is also confirmed by my sources, Major General Ivan Popov received the status of an accused and was even detained. He is charged with 159 Art. Part 4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely the theft of some space for his position of 100 million rubles from defensive structures in the Zaporozhye region. That even for the “smallest” it is clear that this is a complete mess,” wrote the author of the channel.
