Russia says drone attacks won’t go unpunished; Kremlin won’t rule out Prigozhin’s death was ‘deliberate’​


Russia and Ukraine accused each other of launching multiple drone attacks against each other’s territory overnight Wednesday. Russian officials accused Ukraine of launching several drone attacks against six regions in central and northwestern Russia, while Kyiv said it had repelled more than 20 drone and missile attacks on the capital. Russia later said the attacks would “not go unpunished.” One alleged Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at an airfield in Pskov in the northwest of the country, setting two Ilyushin Il-76 military transport aircraft on fire and damaging several other aircraft, Russian news agency Tass reported.

Ukraine war: Drone attack on Pskov airbase from inside Russia - Kyiv​


Kyrylo Budanov said two Ilyushin cargo planes were destroyed and two damaged. Russia says four were damaged. Mr Budanov did not say whether the attack was carried out by Ukrainian or Russian operatives. Ukraine's drone attacks on Russia occur almost daily. It had already admitted the Pskov attack. But Mr Budanov's comments appear to end speculation that it was caused by a long-range weapon. On Thursday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that a Ukrainian-made weapon had hit a target at a distance of 700km. Pskov is nearly 700km (434 miles) from the Ukrainian border. The damaged aircraft are long-range cargo planes, ideal for transporting troops and equipment over long distances and therefore valuable war assets for Russia.Ukrainian officials are generally tight-lipped about attacks inside Russia, says BBC World Affairs correspondent Paul Adams. But it seems that as the campaign gathers pace, officials in Kyiv are more willing to claim them as part of the country's war effort.

Russia-Ukraine war at a glance: what we know on day 559 of the invasion​


  • Kim Jong-un will reportedly travel to Russia this month to meet Vladmir Putun and discuss the possibility of supplying weapons for Russia war on Ukraine.
  • The governor of Russia’s western Bryansk region said border guards and security forces had “thwarted” an attempt by a Ukrainian sabotage group that tried to cross into Russia. Russia has this year repeatedly reported Ukrainian sabotage attempts on its borders, and sent helicopters to put down a cross-border incursion in the Belgorod region in May.
  • Gen Sergei Surovikin, who had not been publicly seen since Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin’s abortive mutiny in June, has apparently resurfaced. Ostorozhno Media published a picture, reportedly taken on Monday in Moscow, of the former aerospace commander alongside his wife.
  • There was no evidence of a breakthrough in the Black Sea grain deal. The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, concluded face-to-face talks with Vladimir Putin by claiming a deal to export Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea could be revived, but Putin again accused the west of reneging on promises.
  • Ukraine said its troops had regained more territory on the eastern front and were advancing further south in their counteroffensive against Russian forces, Reuters reported.
  • US, British and EU officials are planning to jointly press the United Arab Emirates to halt shipments of goods to Russia that could help Moscow in its war against Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
  • Ukraine said on Monday that Russian drones had detonated on the territory of Nato member Romania during an overnight airstrike on a Ukrainian port across the Danube river. Romania’s government denied its territory had been hit. Reuters could not independently verify either account. It is a rare report of stray fire from the war in Ukraine hitting a neighbouring member of Nato.

Blinken arrives in Kyiv as he makes the case the US needs to support Ukraine for the long haul​


US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv Wednesday on what is his third trip to the Ukrainian capital since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, seeking to double down on US support for Kyiv’s counteroffensive and make the political case back home that the US needs to commit billions of dollars more to help defeat Vladmir Putin. The visit comes as Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into its fourth month, with both political and military leaders in Kyiv talking up recent gains, especially in the south of the country, following growing concerns the concerted push on the battlefield has failed to produce results. The top US diplomat is expected to announce more than a billion dollars in additional funding for Kyiv’s war effort as the Biden administration braces for a political struggle to secure more money from Congress. Blinken’s arrival in Kyiv comes less than a month after President Joe Biden asked for more than $24 billion to help Ukraine defeat Russia, as some polls show the Americans public's support for continued funding is softening. This visit will help the administration make the case for that continued support to the American people, a senior US official said.

"Special military registration is carried out by correctional institutions, correctional centers of the penitentiary system [...] and military commissariats at the location of institutions of the penitentiary system in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and this regulation," the draft amendment says.

Russia's war in Ukraine​


  • Ukraine claims further marginal gains in the south: Accounts from the front lines in southern Ukraine suggest further incremental gains for Ukrainian forces amid constant artillery, mortar and rocket fire from both sides. Geolocated videos show a wasteland of shell holes, abandoned trenches and wrecked military hardware in the area between Robotyne, Verbove and Novoprokopivka — a triangle of villages that hold the key for Ukrainians to getting closer to Tokmak, an important hub for Russian defenses.
  • Russia intercepts 2 drones over the Bryansk region, local official says: Russian air defense systems intercepted two drones over the country's southwestern region of Bryansk on Thursday. One of the drones, which was aimed at an "industrial facility" in the city of Bryansk, "was suppressed by the electronic warfare," the region's governor, Alexander Bogomaz, said in a post on Telegram.

Ukraine live briefing: Missile strikes Zelensky’s hometown; Musk defends cutting Starlink during attack​


A Russian missile strike hit Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih early Friday, leaving at least one dead and more than 70 injured, emergency officials said. The strike destroyed a police administration building, killing one policeman, according to Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko on Telegram. It also damaged some residential buildings, he said. Rescuers at the scene were working to pull people out “from under the rubble” and extinguish fires, he added. A top Ukrainian official called out SpaceX owner Elon Musk after a new biography revealed details about how the company cut off Starlink satelite intrnet services to Ukraainian submarine drones last year, just as they were launching an attack on a Russian fleet based in Crimea. Musk defended his decision overnight, saying he did not want SpaceX to be “explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation.”

Neither the Biden admin nor the Ukrainian government wanted to pay for Starlink's services after giving them free service for a year. The company deserved to get paid so it made it's point by cutting off service for non-payment. Suddenly, the Biden admin found some cash to pay for those services.

Elon is saying he did not turn off access to Starlink. He only refused the government's request to extend Starlink's service area into Crimea. That seems to make a huge difference. If the US government wants GPS and Internet services in a place Starlink does not offer services than they can allow them access to the US government owned sat network.

They don't seem to want to do that though.

Ukraine Says Russia May Soon Launch Big Mobilisation Drive​


Ukraine's military said on Monday Russia could launch a big mobilisation campaign soon to try to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers from inside Russia and occupied Ukraine. The Ukrainian General Staff provided no evidence in a statement to support its assertion. Russian officials have said there are no current plans for a new wave of mobilisation and that Moscow is focused on recruiting professional soldiers. "A mass forced mobilisation of the population is expected soon in the Russian Federation and temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine due to the occupiers' catastrophic losses," the General Staff said in a battlefield roundup.
The mobilisation campaign could target between 400,000 and 700,000 recruits, it said, citing different estimates.
It said the number of Russians recruited in Moscow and St Petersburg would remain "minimal", while Russians would be drawn heavily from the regions outside the two big Russian cities.

Russia-Ukraine War: North Korea’s Leader Arrives in Russia as Nations Seek Closer Military Ties​


Kim Jong-un arrived in Russia on Tuesday, the Kremlin confirmed, traveling aboard his slow moving armored train to a meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin that could see the two nations increasing military cooperation. The North’s official Korean Central News Agency published photographs on Tuesday of Mr. Kim and other officials on the train, which is his preferred method of travel during his rare trips out of the country. The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, confirmed Mr. Kim’s arrival in Russia later on Tuesday. Russian state media shared video that purported to show Mr. Kim disembarking his train in Primorsky Krai, in Russia’s Far East, on Tuesday. He was greeted by Russia’s natural resources and environment minister, Alexander Kozlov, at a station in Khasan, the Russian state news agency Tass reported. Khasan is just across North Korea’s northeastern border.

Ukraine Strikes the Headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Crimea​

A Ukrainian attack targeting the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Crimea damaged two ships and triggered a large blaze at a sprawling naval shipyard that plays a critical role in the Russian war effort, according to Russian and Ukrainian officials. The pre-dawn attack on Wednesday appeared to be the largest on the Russian naval headquarters in the occupied port city of Sevastopol since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly 19 months ago and underscored Ukraine’s growing capacity to hit targets deep into Russian-held territory. The Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that Ukraine had fired 10 cruise missiles at the facility at the same time as it targeted a Russian warship on the Black Sea with three maritime drones. Air defense systems shot down seven cruise missiles, and the patrol ship Vasily Bykov destroyed the unmanned drones, the ministry said. Moscow’s rare acknowledgment of a successful Ukrainian attack in Crimea came only after local residents posted images of explosions and raging fires at the Sevmorzavod shipyard on social media. Mikhail Razvozhaev, the Russian-backed governor of Crimea, later shared a photo that appeared to show the port side of a large landing ship on fire, though the full extent of the damage was not clear.

Russia-Ukraine war: Russian lines breached, says Ukraine; Zelenskiy to meet Brazil’s president – as it happened​


It's 11pm in Kyiv. Here's where things stand:
  • Ukraine said it has filed lawsuit at the World Trade Organization against its three EU neighbours – Poland, Slovakia and Hungary – over their bans on Ukrainian grain imports.
  • A top Ukrainian general hailed the recent recapture of two eastern villages, Andriivka and Klishchiivka, as an important breakthrough on Monday, saying it had enabled Kyiv's troops to breach Russian lines near the shattered city of Bakhmut.
  • The Russian foreign ministry said it summoned French ambassador Pierre Levy to protest over what it called the “discriminatory and openly Russophobic” actions of French authorities against Russian journalists at the recent G20 summit in New Delhi.
