12.06.2026 ⇢ The Day Zelensky Announced the Military Reform
⌨
The day's dominant story was Zelensky's announcement of a sweeping military reform, including higher pay, fixed service terms, and new contracts starting in June. This was paired with an urgent warning of a massive Russian missile strike, with the Air Force highlighting a high probability of launches from Kapustin Yar. The reform rollout continued throughout the day: Syrskyi detailed the new contract system, and Fedorov presented the first implementation stage. Overnight, Ukrainian drones struck refineries in Tatarstan and a rubber plant in Samara, while Russian attacks killed one in Sumy and caused a massive fire near Kyiv. Reports of over a hundred Russian infiltrators in Kostiantynivka raised alarm. By evening, the EU officially opened accession negotiations with Ukraine, and the IMF confirmed a $690 million deal. A scandal erupted over a soldier who died after being ignored for three hours in a Kyiv hospital.
