Kyiv’s security service (SBU) said it has charged two people for allegedly publishing Ukrainian military positions on social media.
One suspect reportedly posted firing locations in the Kupiansk district of the Kharkiv region, as well as defensive positions near Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region.
The man allegedly shared the details to his Telegram channel, which had a following of over 140,000 users.
According to the SBU, the man also livestreamed the movement of armoured vehicles and artillery systems.
The other suspect, a man from the Vinnytsia region, posted the geolocation and a video of a Ukrainian military helicopter on his Telegram channel.
The SBU considers the distribution of photos and videos online that jeopardise Ukrainian military positions as “aiding enemy fire”. If convinced, the suspects face up to 8 years in prison.
The charges come just three days after the SBU announced that a man who provided geolocations of Ukrainian positions to Russian agents had been jailed for fifteen years.

Russia unleashes Shahed drone attack on Ukraine power grid
Russia launched a new barrage of missiles and drones in an overnight attack on Ukraine, officials in Kyiv said on Saturday morning.
Ukraine’s air force said it shot down all 12 Shahed drones and 12 of the 16 missiles launched by Russian forces.
Missiles hit energy facilities in Lviv and Zaporizhzhia, with the latter strike injuring two workers.
Air raid warnings sounded for several hours throughout the night while firefighters fought to extinguish fires and repair squads rushed to fix the damage, regional officials said
Ukrainian media said the drones were launched from the Russian port town of Primorsko-Akhtarsk and Balaklava in Crimea, while Tu-95 bomber planes fired Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles from the Saratov region.
Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine’s power grid in recent months, destroying roughly half of Kyiv’s generating capacity and causing rolling blackouts. The overnight attack was the eighth such massive strike in recent months.
Explosions heard in Belgorod, Russia
Explosions were heard within a minute of missile danger alerts being sounded across Belgorod, Russian media has reported.
“The entire territory of the Belgorod region is in a missile danger,” Vyacheslav Gladkov, Belgorod’s governor, wrote on his Telegram channel.
Belgorod lies close to the Ukrainian border and is considered a vital stop for Russian forces advancing in the direction of Kharkiv.
Three killed in Donetsk cluster munition attack, Russia says
A Ukrainian attack on the Russian-controlled city of Donetsk killed three people and injured four, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic has said.
“During shelling of the Budennovsky district of Donetsk the enemy used M26 missiles on a HIMARS MLRS with a cluster warhead (644 M77 cumulative fragmentation submunitions) for the first time,” Denis Pushilin wrote on his Telegram channel.
“As a result of the shelling, three men, employees of a construction company, were killed,” he added.
Russian media reported that four other people were wounded in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk and in Horlivka.
Names of 56,858 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine identified
Mediazona, an independent Russian media outlet working with the BBC, has identified the names of 56,858 Russian soldiers it says has been killed in Ukraine.
The figure was collected using publicly available information, such as social media posts by family members, local news reports and official announcements from regional authorities.
Since its last update at the end of May, the names of 2,677 Russian soldiers have been added to the list of casualties. The analysts also note that at least 11,463 Russian inmates have been killed.
Mediazona stresses that the figures offer only a partial picture and do not encompass the full scope of the losses.
Ukraine ‘attacks nuclear power plant substations’
A Ukrainian drone attack destroyed two electricity substations near to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, Russian-installed local officials have said.
Quoting the station’s management, Russian news agencies said the substation could be repaired and that nuclear safety measures remain fully operational.
The station is Europe’s largest nuclear plant with six reactors and was seized by Russian forces in February 2022. Moscow and Kyiv have since routinely accused each other of endangering safety around it.
In April, the UN’s atomic watchdog urged restraint after Russia accused Ukraine of attacking the plant in a drone strike. Ukraine denied any involvement.
