Russian forces continued offensive operations in the Slovyansk direction on June 1 but did not make confirmed advances.

Russian forces conducted over 90 attacks across the Pokrovsk and Huliaipole fronts, with a total of 80 strikes on Ukrainian positions and settlements using artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems.

Ukrainian troops also targeted concentrations of Russian manpower in areas including Shyrokyne, Berestok, and Komar in the Donetsk region, Maliivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and Lokot in Russia's Kursk region.

Russian attacks killed one person and injured eight others in Druzhkivka, Donetsk Oblast.

By early June, OSINT research had identified at least 300 medium- or heavy-weight truck hulks along major highways used by Russian forces like the M03 (Mariupol-Donetsk) and the M14 (Mariupol-Melitopol), while occupation authorities banned civilian traffic from those roads because of the continuing drone threat.
