General Staff: Ukraine liberates 5 settlements in Kharkiv Oblast.

In Kharkiv, an overnight Russian drone attack hit an apartment block, injuring two men and a woman, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Synehubov reported on May 2.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the two countries need to have "strong relations" and that the two leaders should meet in person soon.

At least two people were killed and seven others injured after a Russian drone struck a civilian bus in Kherson in the early hours of May 2.

Several sources told the Financial Times that the United States has informed the United Kingdom, Poland, Lithuania and Estonia that there will be long delays, with two sources also mentioning possible delays to Asia.

The number includes 1,240 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

Russian forces launched overnight drone attacks targeting critical and energy infrastructure across several Ukrainian regions early on May 2, with strikes reported in Mykolaiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Odesa Oblasts, according to regional authorities and local reports.

The Pentagon announced the troop withdrawal on May 1, following a week of sharp exchanges between U.S. President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

"The Slovak side submitted a standard request for an overflight permit, and it was issued without delay," a Czech Foreign Ministry spokesman said on May 1.

Ukraine's General Staff reported earlier that two fighter jets — a Su-57 and a Su-34 — were destroyed in the attack on the airfield.

The local military administration said 36 aerial targets were detected over the city during the attack, 27 of which were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses.

General Cherry’s Khmarynka enters a growing class of low-cost, mid-range strike drones modeled on Russia’s Molniya and designed for mass production.

"If they produce Cars and Trucks in U.S.A. Plants, there will be NO TARIFF," U.S. President Donald Trump said.
