Almost 10,000 homes are without power in the Kyiv suburb of Boryspil, which is in Kyiv region.

It's as a result of a previously unreported Russian strike on yet another energy target.

Despite everything, a marathon has been taking place in Ukraine's capital city today.

1000s took part in the 15th Kyiv Marathon of Resilience and many, many more came to support along the course.

No decent photos so far - I just took screenshots from a local news channel.

Seen in Mariupol today.
See how much better life is after 3.5 years of Russian occupation?

Instead of having to bother with fiddly taps (faucets), the Russians now bring a big lorry with "Water" (RU: Voda) scrawled on in paint, right to your street.

Day 1327 of Russia's 3-day "special military operation" to take Kyiv.

"Genius leader", and war criminal, Putin has now changed this to a 3-day operation to take a hamlet even Ukrainians haven't heard of, somewhere in Zaporizhzhia.

All the news, all the time in my daily thread:

Fahnenflucht bei Putins Truppen: Darum desertieren Zehntausende Soldaten

Die Zahl der Fahnenflüchtigen in der russischen Armee steigt in diesem Jahr sprunghaft. Dahinter stecken oft persönliche Schicksale. Die russische Armee reagiert teils mit außergerichtlicher Gewalt.

This is Chicago Pastor David Black. Trump’s fascist thugs targeted and then shot him in the head with a pepper bullet because he was praying outside an ICE facility.

Resist this kind of government violence from becoming America’s new normal.
