Updates on Kinburn Spit, Kryvyi Rih casualties, and international aid for Ukraine

Ukrainian Naval Forces spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk confirmed the Kinburn Spit remains an active combat zone, emphasizing its strategic importance for Russian forces. Meanwhile, the death toll from Russia's June 23 missile attack on Kryvyi Rih has risen to five, following the passing of a 23-year-old man due to severe injuries. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian forces struck two oil refineries in Ufa, Bashkortostan, and an oil depot in Russia's Krasnodar region on June 25, describing these as "consistent precise responses." In international support, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the initial €3.2 billion disbursement of a €90 billion loan to Ukraine during a Gdansk conference, also pledging future funds for drone manufacturing. Additionally, Denmark is providing Ukraine with 15,000 long-range artillery shells, some of which have already been delivered, in response to Kyiv's request for such munitions.
