There is a minor Russian held exclave inside of Vovchansk, based on a small industrial plant. Their situation has grown dire enough that Russia has started to air drop supplies by drone. The troops there have changed into civilian clothing per some recent footage, which suggests that they attempted or plan to attempt to sneak out. The implication is that the main bulk of Russian forces are unable to break through Ukrainian lines in the city and reach their trapped forces. Overall, the situation in and around Vovchansk remains quite stable, and the surrounded Russian position has held firm despite having been isolated for some time now.
Russia and Ukraine both launched heavy, deep strikes against the other. A Ukrainian air base was hit, with two Su-27s reportedly destroyed, and additional planes taking damage. Ukraine confirmed that they suffered losses, but denied that the reported losses were accurate, all while declining to provide any details as to what they lost. Meanwhile, Ukraine launched heavy strikes against Sevastopol and its environs, likely targeting Russian air defenses in the area.
Per the Washington Post, Russia accidentally bombed their own region of Belgorod over three dozen times within the span of a year. Several of these incidents had been previously reported on, but most hadn't been. Per the documents the Washington Post reviewed, many of the accidental bombings were munitions which had failed to detonate and hit more remote areas, hence the lack of reporting. The quality of the munitions being used was the chief source of blame, though Ukrainians jamming for some munitions types is also quite possible. Given the scope of the documents that the Washington Post obtained, it's safe to assume that Russia has accidentally struck their own territory many, many more times.
Today is July 1st, a date which only holds importance because it means Ukraine failed to uphold a stated threat of theirs. Earlier this year, Ukraine stated repeatedly that they would knock down the Kerch Strait Bridge within the first half of the year. As the months went on, Ukraine stopped repeating this claim, but didn't provide a new timeline for when they planned to try to destroy the bridge again.
Hungary's Orbán is rumored to be visiting Kyiv tomorrow, which would be the fiest visit to the city since the onset of the full scale war. However, this may not represent some rapprochement between Hungary and Ukraine. It may simply be Orbán is visiting in the capacityg of the EU presidency, which Hungary currently holds as of the start of July. Regardless, it will provide an opportunity for Ukrainians officials and Orbán to talk about their mutual disagreements with each other and try to find some resolutions. Zelenskyy was briefly in Brussels last month, where he had held a rather animated discussion with Orbán. But behind closed doors and with more time to talk, there is better chance for a diplomatic breakthrough this time.
In a somewhat parallel move, a delegation of senior Ukrainian are traveling abroad a the same time; to the United States. The delegation is to be led by Yermak, one of Zelenskyy's top advisors. Defense Minister Umerov is another big name who will be in attendence. Zelenskyy and Shmyhal are both expected to remain in Ukraine.
