Former Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleh Tsaryov reported on various major news about Ukraine on June 4th.

1. Ukrainian media reported that American auditors had arrived in the country. It was learned that the U.S. Department of State signed a contract worth over $800,000 with a Ukrainian company to arrange for U.S. personnel to stay at the five-star Hilton Hotel in Kyiv in June. This amount can accommodate 80 to 100 people, indicating that this is not just an individual visit by a diplomat or expert, but a complete team. The U.S. side's move is likely related to the audit task - U.S. Secretary of State Rubio previously announced the launch of a large-scale audit covering the verification of military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, logistics contracts, security expenditures, and related services.

2. According to Politico, the EU plans to extend its Ukrainian refugee accommodation program until March 2027, but has already begun formulating subsequent repatriation plans. Brussels suggests setting up "return support centers," with the first pilot programs expected to start in Germany and Spain.

3. Poland is drafting a bill proposing to mobilize Ukrainian refugees into its territorial defense forces and police system. Polish authorities believe that Ukrainian men of military age in Poland could form 25 defense brigades. Experts analyze that many refugees may choose to serve to avoid being repatriated.

4. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban urged the public to participate in the opinion poll ending on June 20th to oppose Ukraine's accession to the EU. He warned that if Ukraine joins, it will "draw away every penny originally intended for European families, agriculture, and industry," and promised to fully prevent the EU's "absurd plan" to accept Ukraine.

5. The Verkhovna Rada passed the first reading of a bill allowing men over 60 years old to voluntarily sign one-year military service contracts (including a two-month trial period), but the Ministry of Defense opposes deploying them to combat positions. The State Border Guard Service questioned the performance capability of older recruits and warned of corruption risks.

6. A parliamentary report from Ukraine showed that due to the closure of many state orphanages, the number of homeless children in Ukraine surged, while the number of adoptive families decreased by more than half (to less than 3,000). The lack of regulation of private orphan institutions has increased the risk of child trafficking.
