Former Ukrainian Supreme Rada MP Oleg Tsarev reported on various major news stories about Ukraine on May 30th.

1. Two days before International Children's Day, Zelenskyy signed a decree to change Ukraine's Children's Day from June 1st to November 20th (i.e., "World Children's Day"). The decree stated that this move was to "establish child protection as a national priority," but in reality, Zelenskyy just didn't want to celebrate on the same day as Russia.

2. Former Deputy Prosecutor General of Ukraine Mamadov told Ukrainian media that the number of missing persons registered in Ukraine exceeds 400,000. This data has also been confirmed by the Ukrainian Red Cross, which calculated it based on family requests for assistance in finding relatives. Obviously, the vast majority are fallen soldiers, but the authorities have listed them as "missing" to avoid paying pensions to their families.

3. At the same time, resistance to mandatory conscription in Ukraine has led to conflicts breaking out in many places. In the Khmelnitsky region, about a hundred residents of Kamianets-Podilskyi City confronted recruitment office personnel. The cause was that recruitment personnel forcibly put a man into a van. When the public tried to stop them, the vehicle hit an elderly woman. The angry crowd surrounded the vehicle and punctured the tires, then dozens of fully armed police arrived to disperse the protesters. The conflict lasted for several hours and only calmed down late at night.

4. In the Transcarpathian region, a gunfight broke out between border guards and a Romani (Gypsy) camp. The military suspected that the Roma were assisting deserters to cross the border or attempting illegal entry, leading to a conflict. The Roma threw stones, while the border guards retaliated with rubber bullets. A woman and children were injured, and two border guards were moderately wounded and hospitalized. Witnesses said that the border post chief, the intelligence officer, and his deputy were all beaten. Afterward, the Roma attempted to blockade the post. The police intervened to lift the blockade and arrested several people.

5. Polish President Duda said that Poland will never recognize the Ukrainian law glorifying Shukhevych and other Ukrainian Nazi figures, who committed genocide against Poles. Duda called them "ordinary war criminals, murderers, and genocidaires" for Poles and sarcastically remarked, "When I visited Ukraine, those wearing armbands in Bandera colors actually shook hands with me, thanking Poland for its aid, which is absurd." However, Duda awarded the highest state honor of Poland, the Gold Cross of Merit, to Ukrainian intelligence chief Baidaunov (also a Bandera member, war criminal, and terrorist).

6. Hungarian Prime Minister Orban called Ukraine a "dangerous country" and suggested the EU keep its distance. He pointed out that according to law enforcement statistics, 80% of financial crimes in Hungary involve Ukrainians, causing millions of euros in losses. Orban emphasized that if Ukraine joins the EU, "Ukrainian crime gangs will be easier to evade justice," and it will be much harder to crack down on them.

7. Czech teacher Martina Bednarikova was found guilty of having an "anti-Ukrainian stance." She described Russia's special military operation as a "reasonable way to resolve the situation" in class, criticized fake reports about Ukraine by Czech TV stations, and told students about atrocities committed by UPA members in Donbas. The trial lasted three years; the first two court rulings found her not guilty, but the third sentenced her to seven months' probation (probation period 20 months). The teacher said she would appeal and plans to run in the autumn parliamentary election.
