With the rescue efforts now concluded, it has become clear that the Russian terror attack on an apartment building in Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi district on 31 July, which killed 31 people and injured 179, is the second deadliest Russian war crime in Kyiv since the start of the full-scale invasion.

Each new deadly strike on Kyiv's Sviatoshyn district is getting closer to our apartment. Today, a missile destroyed a building just 700m away. Previous strikes were ~1km away.
You sleep in your bed and Russia kills you. Today, 15 people didn't wake up. 15 someone's universes. Today, it's not you.

Und klar: Es geht nicht nur um politische Rückschritte innerhalb der Ukraine, sondern auch um eine Beschädigung ihres Images im Ausland. Etwas, das Russland nur zu gerne mit Hilfe seiner Propaganda weiter eskalieren lässt - besonders in Deutschland. /3

Korruption in der Ukraine: Selenskyjs Schritt weg von Europa
Ukraines Präsident Selenskyj wollte per Gesetz die Unabhängigkeit der Antikorruptionsbehörden beenden. Nach Protesten lenkt er ein. Wird sein Volk ihm verzeihen?
Ich wollte die inneren Prozesse unbedingt in einen größeren Zusammenhang stellen, um zu zeigen, was gerade mit der ukrainischen Demokratie im Krieg geschieht (hallo, Thema meiner Doktorarbeit!). All das habe ich in dieser Analyse für die wochentaz aufgeschrieben - taz.de/!6103695/ 2/

Für mich als Journalistin, die seit Jahren versucht, deutschen Leser:innen die Ukraine zu erklären, war es schmerzhaft, über diese Rückschritte zu berichten - und zugleich umso wichtiger, alle Fakten, Kontexte, Grauzonen und Folgen einzuordnen. 1/

Many thought that there would be no protests in Ukraine against the government during the war, but here is the Ukrainians' answer 👇
Ukrainians have already paid too high a price to allow politicians to steal their dream of living in a free and democratic country. #12414

These chaotic lines trace a deadly dance above a sleeping nation.
For the first time since the war began (2014), Chernivtsi came under a massive attack. There are confirmed dead and seriously injured civilians.

/2 We all love and are proud of Ukrzaliznytsia. Today, a passenger train travelling from Odesa to Zaporizhzhia was also caught up in the attack. Among the injured were many children enjoying their summer holidays. Over the past month, Russia has significantly escalated its attacks on civilians.

At least, 175 drones, 14 missiles and two ballistic missiles were fired at Kyiv alone.

No, it’s not that Ukraine gave Putin a reason to attack - he came to kill Ukrainians because he wants to, he can, and he was allowed to.
This is Kharkiv this morning, after the largest attack since February 24, 2022: 53 drones, 4 guided aerial bombs, and 1 ballistic missile.

It was one of the largest attacks on Lutsk. 6 missiles and 15 drones.
Among the damaged buildings was the hotel, where members of the Ukrainian national athletics team were staying at the time of the attack. They had arrived to take part in the championship.
All survived 🙏

As expected, tonight the Russians are attacking Ukraine, mostly with drones targeting the energy infrastructure. However, missile strikes are expected later, as approximately six bombers are currently heading toward their launch positions.

Such a pointless attack, like so many others carried out by the Russians. The building had been empty for almost two years, with no military targets nearby - only residential buildings and shops. They think this shows their power, but in reality, it shows their stupidity. #Cherson

Russian propagandists called Ukraine’s secret services operation to destroy Russian strategic aircraft a “Russian Pearl Harbor”.

According to reports, Ukrainian drones have damaged around 40 Russian aircraft, which Russia no longer manufactures but merely upgrades from Soviet-era technology.
With more support from its allies, the ingenuity of the Ukrainians would be enough to dismantle Russia’s combat capability. 2/

If the Russians don’t want a ceasefire in the air, then the Ukrainians destroy their combat aircraft. It’s similar to what happened with the warships in the Black Sea - a country without a navy managed to destroy the Russian fleet. 1/
