The Weekly Round-Up: Developments on Ukraine 11

July 01, 2022

Russian missile attacks continued, including one that hit a shopping center in Kremenchuk. Ukraine has also claimed that some missile attacks were launched from Belarus. Russian forces are no longer on Snake Island, near the Ukrainian maritime border with Romania, though Ukraine and Russia dispute whether Russian forces withdrew voluntarily or were forced to withdraw. President Zelensky reportedly told the G7 leaders meeting in Germany that the conflict should not be permitted to “drag on over winter” and requested additional weapons and security guarantees. Lithuania claims it was subject to a cyber-attack, including on Lithuanian state institutions; Reuters reported that a Russian hacker group, Killnet, claimed responsibility and connected the attack to Lithuania’s enforcement of EU sanctions on goods attempting to transit to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, and the country expects more attacks.
