A Russian missile strike on Odesa claimed the lives of at least eight civilians on Monday. According to the Odesa Regional Administration, at least 18 others sustained injuries, including a child. Four victims remain in critical condition.
At 11:58 am, Ukrainian Air Force sent out an alert over the launch of a ballistic missile, which moments later struck a residential and business district of the city. Civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings, suffered significant damage, with some jarring videos emerging on social media show lifeless bodies of civilians lying in the street.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the missile hit a parking area, resulting in damage to an apartment complex, a university, and an administrative building.
Odesa mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov confirmed that the missile targeted a densely populated part of the city. “The victims were peaceful residents,” he emphasized.
Rescue operations are ongoing, as emergency service teams are trying to assess the full extent of casualties and destruction.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
