Russia conducted 20 precise hits on a facility in Drogobych in the Lviv region

On the night of June 29, Russian forces launched the most massive missile and drone attack on Drohobych, Lviv Oblast, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Fortunately, no local civilian casualties were reported.

The city was hit by 21 aerial strikes, primarily targeting an industrial site. The bombardment triggered six fires and caused damage across nearby neighborhoods, including shattered windows in over 50 apartments across six residential buildings. Parts of the city also experienced disruption to services and infrastructure.

Emergency response was extensive: around 250 personnel from the State Emergency Service (SES), 47 units of specialized equipment from various regions, and 150 law enforcement officers were mobilized to manage the aftermath.

Following the strikes, officials detected elevated levels of hazardous substances in the air. While authorities said there was no immediate threat to life, residents were urged to stay indoors and limit physical activity throughout the day.

This attack was part of a record-setting Russian aerial assault across Ukraine that night, during which Russia launched a total of 537 aerial weapons. Other regions also sustained damage, including Lviv, Poltava, Cherkasy, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. In Lviv Oblast, the attacks included both combat drones and cruise missiles, aimed at critical infrastructure.

Ukrainian military denied reports on Russian troops entering Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

The Ukrainian military on June 30 firmly denied reports that Russian forces had entered Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Since June 29, the battlefield monitoring group DeepState marked a “gray zone” near the village of Dachne, indicating potential combat activity just inside the oblast. Russian propagandists on Telegram falsely claimed that their forces had captured Dachne.

However, Ukrainian officials rejected these claims. Viktor Tregubov, spokesperson for the Khortytsia group of forces, confirmed to Suspilne that Ukrainian troops continue to hold the defense line near the villages of Yalta, Komar, and Shevchenkove, located close to the regional border.

“There are very active battles near the administrative boundary, but Russian forces have not entered Dnipropetrovsk Oblast,” Tregubov said.

Spokespersons for the 3rd Brigade of the National Guard and the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade also confirmed there had been no Russian breakthrough. Nazar Voitenkov of the 33rd Brigade stated, “We are holding the line. It’s shifting constantly, but the enemy has not advanced into the region.”

Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s counter-disinformation center, noted that while Russian FPV drones have flown into the oblast and battles continue along the border, no incursion has occurred.

The denials come as Russian forces intensify their offensive in Donetsk Oblast, inching closer to the Dnipropetrovsk region, a vital industrial hub. Similar reports in mid-June were also dismissed after Ukrainian troops intercepted Russian reconnaissance units attempting to enter the oblast.

Russia will intensify its campaign to discredit Ukraine's European integration

The Center for Countering Disinformation at Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council has warned of an impending surge in Russian propaganda aimed at discrediting Ukraine’s path toward European integration.

According to a statement published on Telegram and cited by European Pravda, pro-Kremlin media and political figures are expected to escalate efforts in the next two weeks to portray Ukraine’s EU aspirations as a threat to Europe.

The campaign will reportedly focus on amplifying claims about internal EU divisions and Ukraine’s supposed economic burden. Pro-Russian voices are also expected to argue against Ukraine’s accession by highlighting a "lack of unity" among EU members and questioning the value of Ukraine’s integration.

The goal, the Center said, is to erode public trust in European institutions, weaken support for Ukraine, and fuel discord within the EU.

Domestically, the Center also predicts an uptick in disinformation portraying Ukraine as a “failed state” engaged in terrorism, alongside efforts to undermine mobilization efforts and sow internal unrest through manipulated narratives.
