Kiev region detonating most of last night

Khrapovshina in the Sumy direction is in good Russian hands... This area served as a stronghold for the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the invasion of the Kursk region. In 2024, air defense units were deployed to safeguard advancing Ukrainian forces, while artillery positions and unmanned aerial vehicle units were established by the end of 2025.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said a Russian strike on warehouse facilities in the Bucha district of Kyiv region caused a fire and explosions. “Unfortunately, we can already say that the horrific tragedy in Vyshneve was not a lesson. In the fifth year of the full-scale invasion, repeating the same mistakes is criminal negligence,” Koretskyi said. He called for an immediate investigation and “strict punishment” for everyone responsible, saying such incidents must not be allowed to happen again.

Kiev-Zhytomyr this morning

Shells, stalled contracts, and no armor for wounded — Ukraine's new defense minister's problem list "Weapons production in Ukraine has a mountain of problems: short contracts, scandals over ammunition and other complex equipment procurement, inefficient drone purchasing, leaky quality control and oversight of manufacturers' capabilities, export rules that don't work, funding shortages, and more," writes Bohdan Miroshnychenko, editor-in-chief of Oboronka, in his op-ed. "All of this ultimately adds up to poor supply for troops at the front." "Partly through his own mistakes, partly through resistance from the system, and partly simply for lack of time in office, dismissed minister Mykhailo Fedorov failed to resolve all the industry's long-standing problems — so that burden now passes to his successor, Yevhen Khmara."

At last, US citizens advised not to travel to the Ukraine

Yesterday, a single Russian Geran-4 jet-drone carried out a 25-minute reconnaissance flight over Kyiv, scouting out potential targets ahead of the upcoming large-scale ballistic missile attack. Among the targets the drone was interested in were the Antonov Aircraft Plant; the Artem Defence Plant; military factories and storage facilities in eastern Kyiv; warehouses and enterprises in the Pozniaky District; the "Asphalt concrete plant" next to the CHP-5 power plant; the Mayak Defence Plant; the "Kyiv Central Design Bureau of Valves" machine building plant; the "Sakhavtomat-Inzh" engineering plant; the "Euroterminal" Logistics Warehouse; the "Analitprylad" Plant. The drone was eventually shot down over the centre of Kyiv. The map shows the approximate route of the reconnaissance flight.

In the event of a Russian ballistic missile assault on, for example, a military headquarters or power plant, NATO could be in a similar position to Patriot-starved Ukraine and be forced “to take punch after punch in the mouth,” a U.S. defense official said on condition of anonymity. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/us-patriot-missile-shortage-iran-war-pentagon-stocks-b3040535.html
