Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an update on the Ukraine war frontline for June 2nd, 2023. He mentions an incursion by Russian volunteer forces in the Belgorod region, about 85km east of the initial incursion on May 23rd. These appear to be raids rather than attempts to hold territory, likely to secure information, disrupt hostile forces, or destroy installations before withdrawing. The raids have caused some panic and evacuation of inhabitants from Shebekino.
