Ukraine updates on Kinburn Spit, Kryvyi Rih toll, and strikes in Russia

Ukrainian Naval Forces confirmed the Kinburn Spit remains an active combat zone, strategically vital for Russian forces. Meanwhile, the death toll from Russia's June 23 missile strike on Kryvyi Rih increased to five, following the passing of a 23-year-old man due to severe injuries. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Ukrainian forces targeted two oil refineries in Ufa, Bashkortostan, and an oil depot in Russia's Krasnodar region on June 25, describing these actions as "consistent precise responses." Internationally, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the initial €3.2 billion disbursement of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine, also committing to future drone manufacturing funds. Denmark is supplying Ukraine with 15,000 long-range artillery shells, with some already delivered, responding to Kyiv's request for such munitions.
