Russia used cluster munitions against densely populated areas of Kyiv. The pattern of these attacks points to an effort to destroy not only lives, but also Ukrainian culture, identity, and the ability of Ukrainians to live freely in their own country.
1/2 A good piece from Bjørnbert👇 Here #Norway should follow the example of its neighbor #Sweden. Norway is far too reticent in this area, and the current government shows few signs of understanding the threat it faces;⤵️

🔥Saving Wildberries could require more than a trillion rubles, - The Bell Attacks on Wildberries warehouses, which resulted in the fires of at least 14 of the company's logistics hubs, has destroyed the business model of Russia's largest marketplace, which annually sold goods worth 3% of GDP. 1/3
Assassination attempt on drone manufacturer Vladimir Tkachuk near Yekaterinburg. In a dramatic turn of events, the assassination attempt comes amidst escalating tensions in Russia's military sector, where drone production has become a focal point of recent conflicts and attacks. 1/7
Ukraine's 412th Nemesis Brigade says it struck or destroyed nearly 500 vehicles and about 400 motorcycles and military buggies in July. Hornet and Morrigan middle-strike drones are hitting Russian logistics routes 50 to more than 200 km behind the front, including trucks and fuel tankers. #Ukraine
The car of the director of Ural Drone Plant, Vladimir Tkachuk, was blown up near the city of Yekaterinburg He suffered serious injuries a result. His driver died on the spot. Vladimir Tkachuk is responsible for the development of one of the most effective russian FPV drones, called "Upyr."
Russia's attack on Kyiv, killing at least 17, is a stark reminder of European failure. We need large long-term orders for SAMP/T NG and Aster interceptors for Ukraine. We need to pressure South Korea to sell air defense. We also need to transfer more of our systems
I think folks don't quite get what Ukraine is removing from the equation when it comes to their strikes on Wildberries. Wildberies is an online marketplace that focuses on fulfillment by the organization. They have warehouses first, sorting centers second.

Russians destroyed the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin in Darivka, Kherson Oblast. The local community built the church themselves along the Beryslav highway to honor fallen Ukrainian soldiers from their village. "Defenders of Christianity" strike again.
Russian propagandists have a convenient habit of showing the devastation caused by Russia while omitting the inconvenient fact that Russia is the one launching the drones and missiles striking Ukrainian civilians.
🕯🛡 Ukrainian military archaeologist Oleksii Yukov was killed near the front line while recovering the bodies of fallen soldiers, his family and fellow servicemen said. A profound loss for Ukraine. Rest in peace.
6.0 My personal view: The second drone that collided with the DHL plane kinda destroyed my doubt. Pretty sure by now it was supposed to film the explosion of the Ukrainian Antonov and both drones were controlled by russian henchman, maybe hired ones! This seems to be a major hyrbrid war attempt!🤬

5.0 The drone that was found carried a packet with explosives and was analyzed by German authorities. The 4th test revealed that it contained Semtex and PETN and a detonator but that one got loose so the device didn’t explode! It potentially could have blown up the Antonov!🤯 bsky.app/profile/flor...
