This year’s St. Petersburg Economic Forum turned from a showcase of Russian achievements into a mirror reflecting the problems the full-scale war has created for the country. Officials showed no signs of panic — aside from the usual controlled outbursts. On the contrary, Putin assured investors that the economy was in fine shape and that the slowdown in growth was a deliberate, controlled process. Meanwhile, the budget has begun to feel the effects of the oil price spike and the VAT increase. But the gap in the treasury will still end up larger than the government planned by year’s end. And as the war continues, the economy’s structural problems will only deepen.
On the morning of June 3, Ukraine launched a large-scale drone strike on the St. Petersburg region, injuring several people — the exact number was never disclosed — and hitting an oil terminal and infrastructure facilities in Kronstadt. The Leningrad region’s governor, Alexander Drozdenko, said 59 drones were shot down over the region that day. A correspondent for the independent journalism cooperative Bereg visited the neighborhoods hit by the strikes and filed this report from the city in the aftermath of the attack, which came on the opening day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

A series of large-scale strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) on Bryansk, Moscow, Perm, Tuapse, and many other targets deep inside Russia has left a clear impression: Kyiv’s long-range campaign is hitting harder than it used to. The images are certainly vivid: “oil rain” blanketing an entire city, a mass drone raid on Russia’s capital, and refineries under near constant attack. Despite all this activity, however, it’s hard to tell whether anything has changed in Ukraine’s strategy. Assessing the frequency and effectiveness of the strikes is challenging — both Moscow and Kyiv conceal their real losses and exaggerate the impact of their own strikes. The available sources that offer a reliable picture of the long-range war’s progress are few and far between. Meduza examines what we can confirm under these conditions.

Metropolitan Hilarion, a Russian Orthodox Church priest based in the Czech Republic, spent two days in police custody. On May 24, his car was stopped on the basis of an anonymous tip and the trunk was searched. Officers found “four small containers with a white substance” that turned out to be an illicit drug. Hilarion insisted he had no idea how the substance ended up in his car. On May 26, he was released without charges. But the incident was unprecedented for the Russian Orthodox Church, whose representatives had never before been taken into custody in Europe on drug-related charges. Meduza explains who Hilarion is and what is known about his detention, which may be a transparent signal that the metropolitan is no longer welcome in the Czech Republic.
