Before the war I thought I'd tweet about narratology. Now it's mostly a chronicle (to return to when the war is over), with an occasional research-related post.

8 млн книжок знищили росіяни 1 серпня у Харкові.

Це найбільша втрата книжкової інфраструктури України від початку повномасштабного вторгнення.

Russia has attacked the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio in Kyiv, one of Ukraine’s oldest film studios.

The strike damaged the studio’s costume workshop and destroyed Ukraine’s largest and oldest costume collection. The studio held around 100,000 costumes and three million items of clothing. Other buildings and facilities on the studio’s grounds were also damaged.

Rescue and emergency services are currently working on the territory.

This is what Christianity truly means to Russia.

The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the oldest and most significant monastery of Eastern Slavic Orthodox Christianity, a UNESCO site with almost 1,000 years of history, was under Russian attack last night in Ukraine’s capital city.

This is what happens in reality while that monstrous Soviet KGB regime obsessed with war and territorial grabs tries to pose as ���based and trad” to fool Christian conservatives in the West.

And it started raining in the Ukrainan city when its main holy site was on fire.

"Over the past year, the reactionary US president has done what the “antiwar” left has been calling for. What has this led to? Increased aggression, more civilian casualties, and more destruction. Things have only gotten worse." Taras Bilous in the Jacobin

So here’s what we know so far. Russia hit Lviv oblast with an intermediate-range ballistic missile launched from the Kapustin Yar test site. Monitoring channels say it was “Oreshnik,” without a nuclear payload.
This morning Moscow admitted, claiming it was “retaliation” for attack on Putin’s residence in Valdai. Which never happened.

Now two questions:

Was hitting Lviv, just 60 km from Poland, really about Ukraine or about testing how far Russia can go and signaling readiness to escalate?

And when Russia decides to attack someone else, not Ukraine, does anyone doubt they’ll make up a new excuse?

Preliminarily, the assault involved:
- 540 to 620 Shahed drones or decoy drones
- 6 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles
- 4 Kh-101 missiles.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Russia’s latest attack used around 500 drones and missiles. The growing scale of terror proves the urgency of new sanctions. The EU and the US need them not only for Ukraine, but for themselves. Depriving Russia’s terror machine of resources is now a transatlantic security issue.
