Denmark delivers artillery as Crimea sees explosions and Trump demands NATO loyalty

Denmark has supplied Ukraine with an additional 15,000 long-range artillery shells, with some already delivered. Explosions were reported across Russian-occupied Crimea, following Zelenskyy's statement on calculated operations.

Denmark has supplied Ukraine with an additional 15,000 long-range artillery shells, with some already delivered, responding to Kyiv's request for partners to prioritize such armaments. Explosions were reported across Russian-occupied Crimea on June 25, impacting areas including Sevastopol, Simferopol, Saki, and a power plant. This follows President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's June 24 statement that operations in Crimea are "clearly calculated," noting substantial Russian losses and logistical difficulties, with Kyiv hoping for partner support. Separately, Russian drone attacks on Sumy injured a child and damaged infrastructure, though Ukrainian air defenses intercepted numerous unmanned aerial vehicles. In other news, Donald Trump called for "loyalty" from NATO allies during a joint press conference with Secretary General Mark Rutte, stating, "I just want their loyalty."
