💔At night russia launched another series of strikes on several communities in Sumy region.

Private homes & buildings hit, many caught fire. Due to threats of russian double taps, rescuers were forced to halt efforts several times before finally safely eliminating the fires.

“There will be no more mercy.”

“No one deserves pity. Spare me your whining.”

Those are captions to videos of Russian drone operators attacking civilians in Kherson city and region.

Living in Kherson means risking execution from the sky.

Russian Drones Turn the Streets of Kherson Into a Civilian Kill Zone

On 8 October, Russian troops struck residential neighborhoods in daylight, leaving homes shattered

Less than an hour later, a Russian drone slammed into an apartment building. No military targets, no “mistakes” — just another act of terror against civilians

Russia uses citizenship as a new weapon against 'dissidents' in occupied Crimea

Russia uses citizenship as a new weapon against dissidents in occupied Crimea

Russia’s stripping of citizenship was first used in Soviet times, but is now even more cynical, as an invading power is banning Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainians from their own homeland

Have russians set up a military base in my childhood home?

by Vitaly Shevchenko, BBC Monitoring

Sitting in my office in central London, I was feeling nostalgic. I decided to take a quick look at the latest satellite images of my childhood village - the poetically titled Verkhnya Krynytsya

Have Russians set up a military base in my childhood home?

Satellite images show the house where the BBC's Vitaly Shevchenko grew up could now be a Russian base.

Ukraine documented 178 historical items that Russia removed from occupied territories and transferred to its institutions.
