21.06.2025Day Putin Issued Ultimatum
Putin issued new conditions for ending the war, prompting Zelensky to announce personnel changes and "important decisions" in direct response to what he characterized as threats to continue aggression. The presidential response developed throughout the afternoon, with multiple outlets tracking the evolving Ukrainian reaction to Moscow's ultimatum.

Russia launched overnight attacks with 280 missiles and drones, hitting energy infrastructure in Kremenchuk and killing a 17-year-old in renewed strikes on Donetsk region. The assault followed the pattern of systematic infrastructure targeting established in recent weeks.

Zelensky expressed concern that Trump might negotiate with Russia based on Iran considerations, warning against deals "not in our favor." This diplomatic anxiety emerged as Keith Kellogg's visit to Belarus resulted in the release of opposition leader Sergei Tikhanovsky, suggesting active American mediation in the region. The frontline recorded 188 clashes, with fighting concentrated in Pokrovsk sector where Ukrainian forces eliminated over 220 Russian troops.
