Scholz and Zelenskiy address Ukraine aid and Russian aggression amidst protests.

Anti-Kremlin fighters claim to have captured several Russian soldiers and turned them over to Kyiv after the governor of the Belgorod region failed to show up for negotiations on a prisoner swap. Russian air strikes over Ukraine have increased in recent weeks amid expectations that Ukrainian military forces will soon launch a much-anticipated counteroffensive to reclaim territory lost since Russia invaded in February 2022. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on June 4 that Russia's war, now in its 16th month, had killed at least 500 Ukrainian children.
