A terrifying gun battle erupted just outside the White House, only meters away from US President Donald Trump, triggering panic and a massive security response in the heart of Washington DC. According to the US Secret Service, the suspect approached a security checkpoint near the White House shortly after 6 p.m. ET, pulled a weapon from his bag, and opened fire on officers guarding the presidential complex. Reports said the gunman fired between 10 and 20 shots before Secret Service agents returned fire, fatally shooting the suspect. The suspect, identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best of Maryland, later died at a nearby hospital. A bystander was also wounded during the exchange, while one Secret Service agent was hospitalized as a precaution.

Paris is maintaining a dialogue with Beijing, urging it to leverage its influence and force Russia to end its war against Ukraine. Voices within Putin’s inner circle are whispering about a total stalemate in the war—there is no safe exit strategy for the regime, while the elites and the public are consumed by war fatigue. In July, at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, the central topic of discussion will be Donald Trump’s “disappointment” with the Alliance, stated US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to The Guardian.

MORE: Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign continues to exploit degraded and overstretched Russian air defenses, targeting Russian oil infrastructure and military assets on the night of May 22 to 23. ⬇️
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukrainian forces struck the Metafrax Chemicals plant in Perm Krai – more than 1,700 kilometers from the frontline – forcing the facility to stop production. Zelensky stated that Metafrax Chemicals is an important part of the Russian chemical industry and supplies products to Russia’s military-industrial complex.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces struck the Sheskharis oil terminal and Grushova oil depot in Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai (approximately 340 kilometers from the frontline), causing fires at both facilities. The Ukrainian General Staff noted that Sheskharis is one of the largest Russian oil terminals on the Black Sea and is part of the Transneft pipeline network with a throughput capacity of up to 75 million tons of oil per year, and has a tank farm with a volume of about 1.28 million cubic meters. The Ukrainian General Staff also noted that the Grushova oil terminal is a key part of the Sheskharis complex and one of the largest oil depots in southern Russia with a carrying capacity of around 1.2 to 1.4 million cubic meters.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces also struck a Russian shadow fleet crude oil tanker, Chrysalis, in the Black Sea. Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) Commander Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdi reported that Ukrainian forces struck a Russian Project 1239 hoverborne guided-missile corvette and a Kalibr cruise missile-equipped Project 11356 frigate Admiral Essen at the Novorossiysk Naval Base.
Ukraine has been engaged in a concerted campaign against Russian air defense assets (SEAD/DEAD) in occupied Crimea, which is further enabling Ukrainian forces to exploit degraded and overstretched Russian air defenses to strike Russian oil infrastructure and military targets in occupied Crimea and southwestern Russia.
Ukraine’s continuous strikes on the Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) vessels demonstrate that Ukrainian drones continue to pose a significant threat to the BSF even after the Russian military command withdrew several vessels from BSF headquarters in occupied Sevastopol to Novorossiysk to protect them from Ukrainian strikes.Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar)NEW: Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted a mechanized counterattack in the Borova direction, possibly penetrating up to five kilometers into the Russian defenses.
