Last night, Russian forces launched X-22 missile strikes on Mykolaiv, targeting civilian infrastructure. In response, reports emerged about drone attacks on an oil depot in Sochi, causing a fire and outrage among Russian propagandists.
Russian state media expressed dissatisfaction with the drone attack on the resort city of Sochi, despite recently approving strikes on Ukrainian cities and civilians—a clear double standard in their rhetoric. While attacks on Russian territory occur, Russian shelling of Ukraine continues unabated.
Meanwhile, a humanitarian crisis escalates in temporarily occupied Donetsk, where residents suffer from a severe water shortage. Attempts by the administration to control the price led to further scarcity, forcing people to collect water from puddles. Propagandists involved children to appeal to President Putin for a resolution.
Factors behind this crisis include the consequences of ongoing hostilities, destroyed infrastructure, and corruption among the occupation authorities. Occupiers blame Ukraine for allegedly inciting unrest among the local population.
Russian troops operating in the Donbas area also face a shortage of drinking water.
Additionally, a bridge exploded in Bryansk region near the Ukraine border, isolating several villages from Russia. While locals suspected sabotage by Ukrainian forces, it was revealed that drones on fiber optic control lines were responsible—devices procured thanks to Ukrainian public support.
The frontline remains highly volatile. Russian forces advance despite heavy losses. There are many requests from the front for drones and other support, and volunteers urge for continued aid.
