The UK's Chief of Defence Intelligence, Lieutenant General Sir Jim Hockenhull, says "the Kremlin has so far failed to achieve its original objectives".

Traveling at Mach 5 or faster, hypersonic weapons are difficult to detect, posing a challenge to missile defense systems. Hypersonic missiles can travel at a far lower trajectory than high-arcing ballistic missiles, which can be easily detectable.

New: Russia launched hypersonic missiles against Ukraine last week, the first known use of such missiles in combat, multiple US officials tell CNN. The US was able to track the launches in real time, the sources said.

America stands united with the people of Ukraine in their fight for freedom and against oppression.

Xinhua released a longer readout of the Biden-Xi call. It indicates no change in China’s stance. Xi didn't suggest a role China could play in ending the war. And he used a favorite phrase of his to cast blame on the US: "Let he who tied the bell on the tiger’s neck take it off.”

This is a cluster munitions carrier that landed at the main market while we were there. Bombing is indiscriminate.

According to UK intelligence, Russian forces are being prevented from resupplying "forward troops with even basic essentials such as food and fuel," due to their inability to control Ukrainian airspace and challenges on the ground. https://t.co/N4lw7fnFGu

This is false, William Jones, a spokesman for the Tennessee National Guard, told my colleague @LMartinezABC.

All three Americans named are safe and in Tennessee, he said.

Seems to be Russian disinfo about Americans fighting in Donbas —>
