Locals woke up to the roar of at least five UAVs soaring above Arzamas, Nizhny Novgorod region. The target? The Arzamas Instrument-Building Plant — a facility that supplies gyroscopes, guidance systems, and control electronics for Kh-32, Kh-101, Kh-59 missiles, and more. 👇

Letter of the day (in the Times)

UK road safety push could see mandatory eye tests for older drivers Ministers also considering lowering drink-drive limit among measures to reduce road deaths and injuries

Well done to The SNP 👏

This figure would be in line with Scotland, which cut its drink-drive limit in 2014"

The 12 hits happened in 6 places.

Monday mornings are never too pleasant, but I hope your week starts well, unless you're pro-Russian.

Another of my daily threads begins right now, I've still never missed a single day during Russia's full invasion & I've posted about Ukraine since pre-Maidan.

This is Day 1265

Scotland needs its own national public broadcaster. For that it needs independence.

🗣️ Rutte: If the future agreement involves Ukraine recognizing Russian control over part of its territories, it should be a de facto, not a legal one. As with the Baltic states, when from 1940 to 1991 the Soviet Union's control was recognized de facto, but never legally.

A massive air bomb destroyed the civilian structure.
Last time I checked Ukraine were not transporting tanks and artillery, no troops, on buses.

Look at the poor woman in the first photo.
This is textbook terrorism and war crimes.
