There is now a long line of people waiting patiently to buy coffee from Yevhen and Olena’s cafe, which opened yesterday and was heavily damaged in last night’s attack on Kyiv.

Ukrainians refuse to let Russia rule their lives in so many ways. Just yesterday, this man opened a small café in Kyiv. This morning, after one of the most brutal Russian all-night attacks, he's serving clients through a broken window. 📷 by Yaroslav Yemelianenko.

Russia’s brutal overnight attack on Kyiv is another horrifying reminder of the human cost of this war. Civilians should never wake up to missiles, drones, explosions, and fear for their lives. Homes destroyed, families shattered, innocent people killed and injured - this is unacceptable. We strongly condemn the attack and stand by the victims and the people of Ukraine.

Ukrainian attack drones successfully hit a Russian pipeline pumping station to the east of Moscow this morning, setting the facility on fire. At least one drone hit the Vtorovo pumping station, a crucial link in western Russia's diesel and jet fuel pipeline network.

Russia struck Bila Tserkva, a city in the Kyiv region, with an “Oreshnik” missile overnight. The missile was launched from the Kapustin Yar test range. According to reports from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, three garages burned down in Bila Tserkva as a result of the attack. Z-correspondents are writing: “Just expensive metal into the ground!” and “Pathetic show-off nonsense.” I agree with their expert commentary.
