Russia-Ukraine live updates | Russian missile hits western Lviv; five injured

Here are the latest developments from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict

The U.S. and Germany pledged on June 1 to equip Ukraine with some of the advanced weapons it has long desired for shooting down aircraft and knocking out artillery, as Russian forces closed in on capturing a key city in the east.

Germany said it will supply Ukraine with up-to-date anti-aircraft missiles and radar systems, while the U.S. announced it will provide four sophisticated, medium-range rocket systems and ammunition. The Kremlin accused the U.S. of “pouring fuel on the fire.”

It’s been 100 days since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine that weakened the global economy and turned the world order upside down.

A Russian missile hit rail lines in the western Lviv region, a key conduit for supplies of Western weapons and other supplies, officials said.

Lviv region Governor Maksym Kozytskyy said five people were wounded in the strike, adding that more information would be available on June 2.

Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the country’s interior minister, said the Russians hit the Beskidy railway tunnel in the Carpathian Mountains in an apparent effort to cut a key railway link and disrupt shipments of weapons and fuel. - AP
