There's also been another "surprise" missile attack on Kyiv in the last half hour.
In some ways it is predictable that Russia will use most of its stock while Ukraine is left without defence by its allies.
About 8 ballistics may all have hit the capital.
‼️I’m reposting this because more people need to see it.
Ukraine urgently needs Elon Musk to enable Starlink access over Russia.
If this happens, countless Ukrainian civilians could be saved.
😂 Believe it or not, potty-mouthed Z-blogger Evgeny Golman posted this on his TG channel with the comment:
“They just can’t help themselves! Something to laugh about tonight.”
Hunter Biden says he understands why his father's 2024 presidential pardon was controversial, telling the BBC it was "not good" for the American people, the Constitution or Joe Biden's legacy.
"It's something that is easily criticised, and for good reason," he said. "All I know is that I'm grateful that he did it for me."
BIG: Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has privately made clear to senior Trump administration officials that the U.S. needs to "find an off-ramp" from the war with Iran, believing the military options available to escalate the conflict could backfire.
While Caine has assured Trump that the U.S. military "could absolutely wreck them" if ordered, he has also emphasized the limits of military force, concerns over dwindling U.S. munitions stockpiles, and the risks of a prolonged conflict.
As a result, officials have increasingly discussed finding an "off-ramp" that would allow the administration to de-escalate while still claiming progress.

Air burst ammunition fired from a Russian anti-aircraft autocannon (presumably Pantsir's 2A38M) impacts cars at a parking lot in the city of Yaroslavl in western Russia.
That occured when Russian forces were attempting to repel a Ukrainian drone attack on the local oil refinery on August 6, 2026.
Moral of the story: build nukes and never give them up, so that arrogant billionaires can't decide for your country how you should defend yourself from an illegal, genocidal invasion.
I told @euronews that the regime’s “extremist” label is an act of revenge for telling the truth about Belarus.
Today, even reading or sharing news can become a crime in our country.
But independent media remain the backbone of our struggle for freedom.

Stoltenberg: We all want the war in Ukraine to end. The problem is that the quickest way to end a war is to lose it.
But if Ukraine loses the war, it will not bring peace. It will bring occupation, and occupation is not peace.
