Cowards and their cowardly acts… that is the only thing one can say to the faces of these russians. Do they really believe that Ukrainians who were sleeping in their own homes - children, the elderly, women - are giving some kind of military orders aimed at russia? On nights and early mornings like these, your eyes witness people running out of their destroyed apartments barefoot, wearing whatever they had on. They witness the dead being pulled out from under the rubble. Do the russians seriously think that these people have anything to do with where missiles fly or what decisions politicians and military leaders in Ukraine make?
You can argue about politics, you can have different views on what is happening. But when civilians die, it cannot be a reason for gloating or excuses. How can anyone even wish death upon others? We are not the arbiters of fate. Someone else's pain should not be a cause for joy. If a person stops empathizing with another’s grief just because it happened to "the wrong people," they lose the most important thing - their humanity. But Ukrainians have neighbors who lost this humanity long ago, and some, it seems, never had it at all. This is the reason why, looking out from the windows of our homes in Ukrainian cities, our courtyards look exactly as you see in this video. This was just a simple street, a quiet, peaceful courtyard in a residential neighborhood of Kyiv.
"Oh my God, this is my mom! My mom is alive!"
A residential building in Kyiv has been under the Russian attack for the second time within a month. Residents had just installed new windows after the first strike - Russia blew them out again.
Last night, Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack. Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 attack drones. Response efforts are still underway. Damage has been recorded at more than 10 locations across the city, including residential buildings. All necessary services are on the ground, doing everything possible to rescue people and provide assistance to everyone who needs it. So far, 64 people have been rescued, including two children. As of now, it has been confirmed that, tragically, eleven people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 60 more people were injured.
In the Kyiv region, sixteen people were injured and three people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. A fire is still burning at the site of the missile strike in Vyshneve. People are being evacuated from a residential area. More than 400 first responders and police officers have been deployed to deal with the aftermath of the attack.
Our warriors performed well today in intercepting drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. And the reason lies in the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is critically important that the world – first and foremost the United States and our European partners – come out of the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions in support of our air defense, and thus the protection of ordinary people���s lives. As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies' stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep “vanquishing” residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror.
Another night of Russian terror for the people of Kyiv.
Russia’s attack overnight killed nine people and injured 46, including children.
Many residential buildings were damaged.

For the second time in a week, Russia has launched a massive ballistic missile attack on Kyiv.
Apartment buildings again. People under the rubble. At least 11 killed.
Ukraine needs air defenses, not more expressions of concern.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the residents of my country's capital to close their eyes at night... as the russian beasts have become too focused on their city and civilian homes. "Sooner or later, everything will be alright"-that is what we usually tell ourselves and others when things are going badly or are as difficult as possible... but what do you say to yourself and your loved ones when you realize that such words no longer work and sound more like a lie than the truth?
"Fight or flight"-many of you know and have heard this saying. For us Ukrainians, there is nowhere to run, and why run when the enemy has come right into your home? "Fight or flight"... how far could you even run? In real life, you cannot escape your problems, and they must be solved, the sooner the better. But when there is a war in your country, you never know at what moment-day or night-your life's problems will be multiplied by a hundred. Tonight, russia once again carried out a massive attack on Kyiv. It is already known that there are 11 dead and many more wounded civilians.
Moldova has closed the "Russian House" propaganda center in Chișinău.
The facility officially ceased operations on July 4, according to the Russian agency Rossotrudnichestvo.
The Moldovan Foreign Ministry had announced last year that it would not renew the intergovernmental agreement with Russia regarding the activities of cultural centers. The representative office was closed following the expiration of this agreement.
❗️It is important to understand that the "Russian House" is not merely a cultural center. It is the official representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo—a Russian state agency that the Kremlin has used for decades as a "soft power" tool to spread Russian influence and propaganda abroad.
Its staff often enjoy diplomatic immunity, and the activities of such centers have repeatedly drawn the attention of intelligence agencies in various countries due to suspicions that they serve as a cover for espionage and covert operations.

For many years now, my people have been showing the whole world what is happening in Ukraine, and what the russians are doing to our country, our people, and our cities. You often see lines like: "When will the world finally hear us?", "World, don’t close your eyes," or "Please, don’t stay silent." Last night, the russians struck Zaporizhzhia and Sumy again-as always, brutally and mercilessly, as if we Ukrainians are not human beings, but just a testing ground, a place where they can do whatever they want with impunity, because it’s "war," after all.
This morning, I see my people showing the world the horrific footage of another terrible night; as always, only the names of the cities change. And yes, the world sees everything, the world hears, the world is not silent. But what is the point of it all? What can an ordinary person from any European country really do on a global scale? We have already heard every kind of condolence, and every prayer in the world has been addressed to Ukrainians and Ukraine.
Half of 2026 is already behind us. Perhaps the world has just grown accustomed to someone else’s pain. Or maybe this war has dragged on so long that everyone is starting to feel hopeless and powerless... Honestly, I don't know anymore. But I do know one thing: silence is not an option. Yet, appealing to the world no longer makes sense-everyone already knows, sees, and hears everything. And the russians act as if this is their world, or as if they’ve simply taken the wheel and are dictating the rules of impunity... I don’t even know how to end this text.
Putin has ordered massive strikes against Ukraine to continue.
Murderer.
❗ The death toll in Sumy has risen to four, including a child.
Medics are doing everything they can to save the other seriously injured.
Twenty two people have been injured in the Russian airstrike.
Moscow. The End of Comfortable Living
A woman keeps circling the ring road in search of fuel, which now sells for about $1.30 per liter.
At least Russia has finally caught up with Europe in fuel prices😅
"Staying strong in Ukraine" requires immense effort. I believe that every person possesses hidden, invisible reserves of inner energy and strength, including the strength of the spirit. These are the reserves we hold for life's emergencies. But what happens when these reserves are completely depleted, when you are on the edge, or feel utterly empty…
The feeling of being a "zombie," where your body and mind feel as though they are alive but no longer belong to you, this is a state I have experienced myself, as have many of those I have spoken with throughout the years of this war. It is known to those who continue to live in Ukraine, and to those who ultimately made the difficult decision to leave-for reasons that are more than understandable. It is known to those who were in the very epicenter, living through the horrors that war exposes before one’s eyes and soul, and to those who received a "smaller dose" of it-if such a thing can even be expressed that way. We have all faced this state, because years in Ukraine deplete you not only with bullets and missiles, but with the constant sight of what is unfolding. Even if your own city is not the one under fire, you feel the pain of others as if you were there. And if your city is hit, every one of your senses sharpens, and your heart prepares for the worst. Especially at night, when the air raid siren drowns out everything around you, that piercing wail that can only be silenced by the sound of a Russian missile, a drone, or a jet projectile flying somewhere nearby, or, God forbid, right above you.
"Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, what the f*ck is going on?" A Russian woman asks.
She's been standing in lines for three days to get fuel - without success.
First, it was "Kyiv in three days," now it's "fill your fuel tank in three days".
Russia has destroyed the Ukrainian Red Cross warehouse in Kyiv, according to the humanitarian mission's press service.
320,000 units of relief supplies and equipment were destroyed in the process.
Items stored in the warehouse included generators, medical devices, and equipment for emergency operations.
Russia: We only attack military targets.
No, you don't. You filthy terrorists attack exclusively civilian targets and have already committed over 230,000 war crimes.
Filthy scum.
Please, don’t let the first few seconds of this video make you smile - the situation you are witnessing is truly serious. I have posted about this before, but such evacuations from Ukrainian cities are, unfortunately, not rare. This is Maria, she is 96 years old. Due to the intense activity of russian drones, it was impossible to reach her house by car. So, the police had to save her using a tried-and-true method, a garden wheelbarrow turned into an improvised stretcher. Every day, each "White Angel" police crew receives up to seven evacuation requests from the residents of Druzhkivka. This time, they successfully evacuated two women.
Maria grew up in an orphanage and is now living through her second war (she was only 11 when World War II began). She lived all alone in a house that became uninhabitable after another russian attack. The second woman, 83, also needed rescue: the police had to break down her apartment door with a crowbar, as it had been jammed by the force of a blast.
