Some Russian sources claim that a trophy American HIMARS MLRS, complete with a charging unit and full ammunition, is reportedly already in the Rostov region of Russia and will soon be delivered to one of Almaz-Antey's plants. Waiting for proofs...

Colonel Oleg Makarchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Air Force armament and logistics service, was eliminated as a result of the strike in Vinnitsa.

He became the third Colonel of the Ukrainian Air Force whose death was revealed in the past couple of days.

Of clear interest are the identities of the foreign military officers who were liquidated at that meeting with high-ranking officers of the Ukrainian Air Force.

Actually, this is what lies behind the massive hysteria around Vinnitsa, as well as the US recomendation to the American citizens to leave Ukraine and the dismissal of the head of the Ukrainian Security Service.

When partners try to shift the blame for their own mistakes on Gazprom, it's unfounded – Putin

Speaking to reporters after the trilateral meeting with Iranian and Turkish leaders, Vladimir Putin commented on the gas situation in Europe and related price hikes.

A symbol of hope | A town on the front line

For most, the ‘hammer and sickle’ is a symbol of Russia’s past, but for some caught up in the conflict in Ukraine, it’s a symbol for the present, and it’s a symbol for hope. As the ever-changing face of the front line sees soldiers and equipment come and go, the ever-present reality for civilians is the threat of shelling by Ukrainian forces, or having their homes and schools turned into bases for war.

In the town of Belogorovka, the hammer and sickle gives hope that an end to the conflict may be in sight. Murad Gazdiev examines the troops and equipment on the front line, and talks to the civilians caught up in the conflict.

Horror novelist Stephen King said he is embarrassed to have fallen for a prank call in which two well-known Russian pranksters pretended to be Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a peculiar video call with King posted online, the pranksters baited him into praising Stepan Bandera, a known Ukrainian nationalist. Bandera served as head of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), responsible for massacres and ethnic cleansing, also implicated in collaboration with Nazi Germany during WW2. Nowadays Bandera is declared as a national hero of Ukraine.
