Putin: “Russia has not yet needed to use cluster munitions, but if they are used against the country, it has the right to mirror action”. Kharkiv on February 28: one of the many cases of Russian use of Smerch cluster munitions in densely populated residential areas.

Russia hit Kyiv again with ballistic missiles. No heating at home, power’s off for hours, fires across the city. Russia keeps trying to break us — still doesn’t get how resilient we became. Farmers’ market in Kyiv goes on against the backdrop of fire. 📹 Yan Dobronosov

For the first time since Russia invaded, I’m seeing so many smiling faces on the streets of Kharkiv. Hard to believe the active frontline is just 20 km away. Yet another reminder of how Russia failed to break this city’s spirit 🌟🇺🇦💪🏻

Russia bombed Kyiv all night. Mother and her baby killed, government buildings on fire, smoke over Maidan. This is war in Europe today. Every “talk” only buys Russia more terror. It must be stopped now.

After days of cold, the Dnipro froze. 16+ hours a day without electricity and cold radiators in Kyiv. Still residents in Obolon came out to feed the swans. Not what Russia counts on with continued attacks on energy. They failed again.

After massive Russian attack on Kyiv’s energy system, the city’s left bank is plunged into darkness. Water supply disrupted all over, metro short on power. People brace for blackouts.

Electricity update: We've had no power for 4 hours in the morning, afternoon, and now again. That's a total of 12 hours daily. Internet is barely working. Everything's disrupted—from defrosted fridges in supermarkets to stalled manufacturing. 1/2 🧵

Russia hit Dnipro with ballistic missiles in broad daylight today. Odesa–Zaporizhzhia train badly damaged, passengers injured. While the world watches the Middle East, the frontline creeps closer to Ukraine’s major cities.

Right after the air raid alert sounded, people on the Dnipro embankment started running as air defence was shooting down several Russian ballistic missiles. You could hear the explosions and see the trails in the sky. Some ran into a new concrete shelter. It was the only hard cover nearby. An elderly woman with her dog asked me, “Is it over?” It was very hot in the shelter. Half an hour later, they walked out, wondering whether a larger attack would come overnight. Just another summer evening. Year five of Russia’s war.

It’s been 15 hours since the heating went out. It’s –10 C outside now and heavily snowing. The shop nearby closed after its generator gave up. People are stocking up on food and water. Can’t imagine how the elderly and those without help nearby are getting through this.

This will be in textbooks. Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks. At the signal, the roofs opened remotely. Dozens of drones launched directly from the trucks, striking strategic bomber aircraft. And — Russia can’t produce these bombers anymore. The loss is massive. Nothing like this has ever been done before.

Maternity ward in Odesa. Again. The hardest was evacuating newborn twins on ventilators. When Russian Shaheds attacked, doctors moved 33 pregnant women and 19 newborns to safety in a bomb shelter. Then helped put out the fire.

Eyewitnessed damage caused by a Russian drone at Chernobyl NPP, including Shahed/Geran drone debris. Potential consequences could have been catastrophic. We must hold Russia accountable, not appease it.

Well, turns out the explosion at Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant near Moscow was just a little oopsie in a pyrotechnics warehouse. You know, typical 'violation of the technological process.' Just a regular day at a military plant producing optical sights, thermal imagers, missile homing heads, binoculars and night vision devices.
