The audacious drone assault of June 1 may have destroyed one-third of Russia’s long-range strike fleet. But the implications are potentially much bigger.
A second round of talks between Russia and Ukraine took place on June 2. Again both leaders were not present.
Mercenaries are outlawed under international law. But Russia has misused the label to deny foreign fighters their protections as prisoners of war.
