“According to our intelligence, another large-scale attack may occur tonight,” Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address after overnight attacks by Russia’s military killed 22 people across the country, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

“Please, I strongly urge you to pay attention to air raid alerts.”
Zelenskiy said 130 people had been injured in the overnight strikes, in which he said more than 70 missiles and 650 drones had been deployed. Russia launched new attacks throughout the day on Tuesday, deploying a further 100 drones.
“Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air defence does not enable us to intercept a significant portion of the missiles,” he said.
“All partners together, and everyone in Europe, must continue working to ensure that Ukraine receives air defence missiles, the necessary systems, vital intelligence and other resources that help save lives.”

Shares of Uber Technologies declined on the New York Stock Exchange during trading on June 2. According to Google Finance data as of 2:41 p.m. New York time (UTC-4), Uber’s stock fell to $71.49, down 3.14%, or $2.32.

The decline comes amid continued volatility in the U.S. stock market. Investors are closely watching the performance of technology companies and transport- and delivery-related platforms, as their results remain sensitive to consumer demand, operating costs, and expectations around interest rates.
Uber remains one of the world’s largest ride-hailing and delivery platforms. The stock’s further performance will depend on broader market sentiment, the company’s financial results, and investor expectations regarding future business growth.

Macron said the memorial placed the genocide of the Tutsis “at the heart of our capital and our history”, and that it was “the culmination of a long and painstaking quest for the truth”, News.az reports, citing Reuters.

In May 2021, during a visit to Rwanda, Macron recognised his country’s responsibility in the Rwandan genocide and said he hoped for forgiveness, seeking to reset relations after years of Rwandan accusations that France was complicit in the 1994 slaughter of an estimated 800,000 people — mostly ethnic Tutsis. However, he stopped short of issuing a formal apology.
This was after a commission established by Macron concluded in March 2021 that France had been blinded by its colonial attitude to events leading up to the genocide and bore a “serious and overwhelming” responsibility for failing to foresee the slaughter.
The memorial on the banks of the Seine river in the heart of Paris is named “L’Archive”. It was designed by Portuguese artist Grada Kilomba. It consists of two black steles and bears an engraved tribute to the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children massacred between April and July 1994.
