Sweden's NATO Bid Delayed as Hungary Postpones Vote

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to address the European Union summit on June 29, where EU nations are expected to reiterate their support for Ukraine amid ongoing fighting in the country's east. Ukrainian officials claim slow but continued progress in the battle for the city of Bakhmut, with Russian forces gradually retreating after suffering losses. However, the claims cannot be independently verified. Meanwhile, a 71-year-old woman was killed and two others wounded in Russian strikes in the southern town of Bilozerka, and the death toll from a Russian missile strike on a restaurant and shopping center in Kramatorsk has risen to 12. Ukrainian authorities have arrested an alleged Russian spy involved in the Kramatorsk attack.
