Ukrainian forces are engaged in urban combat in Kostiantynivka against enemy personnel, with assault units conducting clearing operations. A battalion commander noted the city is "semi-encircled" due to Russian advances near Chasiv Yar and Berestky. President Zelenskyy stated that in its first year, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have hit Russian targets valued at nearly $40 billion, improving logistics targeting in occupied territories. Separately, on June 10, Russian forces attacked two civilian cargo vessels, flying Panamanian and Barbadian flags, in the Black Sea. One vessel experienced a fire, which was extinguished, while the other was carrying wheat; both remained seaworthy. Russian forces also targeted the southern Odesa region. Ukrainian forces reportedly struck a military factory in Cheboksary and the Kuibyshev oil refinery in Russia's Samara region using missiles and drones on the same day.
