There's a popular theme on Xitter right now, where people of various nationalities proclaim “Russia is not my enemy.” Here's the reality. A civilian was walking in the middle of the day on a Saturday was shot down by a Russian drone.
Zelenskyy was reportedly “irritated” when Trump suggested that he meet Putin in Moscow. Uh, one does not go to the capitol city of the enemy of your country to just have a chat. One goes there to surrender!
A boy was born while the maternity hospital was under attack. Zelenskyy visits the mother to see how she was doing.
Several crashed drones have been found in Moldova.

Ukraine is discussing licenses to build some variants on rockets, but not the ones need to reload Patriot anti-air rockets.
Very interesting examination of why Russia is at war, not just with Ukraine, but with other states since the first war in Chechnya. “Kushner and Witkoff are lifelong dealmakers, and, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” But one simply can't make a deal with Russia.
14-year-old boy killed by a Russian attack, in the middle of the day, sitting at his desk, doing his homework.
Russia strikes an office building, a school, the warehouse for a chain of sushi restaurants, “the warehouse of McDonald's logistics partner,” cars and an electrical substation,
Russian refinery hit from 1,500 km away. Ukraine also hits a defense electronics plant.
Blogger for War for Ukraine referred to a 5k word essay by Putin, written seven months before the start of the full-scale war. The provided link doesn't work, but the Atlantic Council has a good piece on it.
