On Oct. 19, a Russian strike on a Kharkiv park killed five people, including a 1-year-old girl. @CBSNews obtained photos showing air-defense radars offline that day due to SpaceX’s Starlink restrictions. Alina Spichak walked me through the last steps of her sister Yulia, who died there.

Residents in Kherson took advantage of the ceasefire to return to their long-burnt apartments in most heavily bombed by Russia neighborhoods and retrieve what was left of their belongings.
Russia's "human safari" in the region is raging on for years. Just look at what they have done to this city!

Ukraine isn’t asking the world to fight our war.
We’re asking the world to stop rewarding the country that started it.

The number of people injured in the Russian strike on a university campus and the surrounding area yesterday evening has risen to 12. Five of them are students and university staff. While emergency services were helping people and dealing with the aftermath of the first strike, the Russians used ballistic missiles again. In total, 16 ballistic missiles were launched overnight. More than 280 drones as well. Tragically, there have been casualties and hits in Kyiv, including on the South Bridge. A serious escalation in Russia’s operation against our logistics. There were also strikes on the Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Odesa, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Kherson, and Chernivtsi regions. Almost everywhere, Russia’s targets were the energy sector, logistics, and ordinary urban infrastructure.
The artificial and prolonged delays in the delivery of interceptor packages for Patriot and NASAMS systems, which unfortunately have occurred recently, are directly helping Russia achieve the objectives of its terrorist campaign. Every such delay means another Russian strike on one facility or another. Unfortunately, strikes are taking place every day. Russia is constantly taking new steps toward escalation. Pressure on Russia and real support for Ukraine are needed to change the situation. I thank everyone who truly supports our efforts to protect lives and understands the importance of support packages arriving on time. We must bring peace closer and save lives. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

🔴 I am the only foreign journalist reporting from Kherson at this moment so I will be doing updates from the ground throughout the day.
As of 09:00, the enemy adheres to the regime of silence 1/2

Another Russian ballistic missile attack came in several waves overnight, and once again, there was no early warning from our partners. They again targeted energy facilities and infrastructure, but a medical clinic, a school, a metro station, and ordinary residential buildings were also damaged. In total, the Russians launched 16 ballistic missiles in a deliberate attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. The Russians also launched more than 200 drones of various types, including jet-powered “shaheds,” with attacks spanning from the Kharkiv and Dnipro regions to the Volyn, Rivne, and Odesa regions. Sadly, there are casualties. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Those who were injured are receiving assistance. Overnight and this morning, Russia attacked energy facilities in the Vinnytsia, Volyn, Kirovohrad, Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, Kharkiv, Ternopil, Odesa, and Rivne regions. In this one night alone, more than 10 energy infrastructure facilities were damaged, and the lights went out for at least 550,000 families. Repair crews are working at the sites.
Ukraine never wanted this war, and we have welcomed literally EVERY attempt by our partners to bring this war to a dignified end. We have responded positively to EVERY ceasefire proposal. Russia's response, time and again, has been ballistic missiles, “shaheds,” and killings. Putin not only doesn't want to end this war – he doesn't even want to take any steps toward de-escalation. EVERY ONE of our partners has experienced this firsthand when they heard Russia's refusals. And it is crucial to call things what they are. To call the aggressor an aggressor and help Ukraine defend lives. When deliveries of missiles for Ukraine's air defense are blocked while Russia is granted relief or delays in sanctions, this is, unfortunately, a denial of reality on the part of our partners. The reality is that the war continues, and it continues solely because of Russian strikes and Russia's desire to drag this war out. I thank everyone who recognizes this reality and helps Ukraine!

“It’s her. Oh God, it’s really her.” 22-year-old Alina was pulled from the rubble seven hours after a Russian guided aerial bomb struck Zaporizhzhia.
She spent seven hours trapped beneath a concrete slab. And throughout that time, she remained conscious.
Yesterday, October 10, Zaporizhzhia was awakened at 4:48 a.m. by a series of powerful explosions. The Russians dropped five guided aerial bombs on the city.
Some of them struck residential buildings. A massive wall collapsed in a five-story apartment building, while a three-story building was almost completely destroyed.
Dozens of people were trapped beneath the rubble, including families with children.
More than seven hours of searching. “Minutes of silence” at the ruins, as rescuers listened for signs of life. But no voices answered.
Then suddenly, one of the rescuers shouted: “Quick, find a cervical collar!”
There was someone alive beneath a concrete slab.
“The girl was trapped under a slab. After it was lifted, she was found in a small enclosed space. She had enough room to breathe and had even remained conscious,” volunteer Oleksandr explained.
It took almost another hour to free her. Her legs and one arm were pinned down. First, rescuers stabilized her neck and checked for bleeding and fractures. Only then did they form a human chain to carry her to the ambulance.
“She’s doing fine. She was incredibly brave. Her name is Alina. She’s 22 years old, just like me,” Oleksandr said.
As paramedics examined Alina, her female relatives approached the ambulance.
“It’s her. Oh God, it’s really her.”
She was the third person rescued alive from the site.
But that same morning, volunteers had also pulled the body of a 9-year-old girl from the rubble. She was already dead.
“I have mixed emotions. This morning, my nerves were starting to give out. But when we find people alive, I feel so happy,” Oleksandr said.
He fled occupied Berdiansk in 2022. After a Russian strike on a nine-story apartment building on Zestafonska Street killed 19 people, he realized he could no longer stand on the sidelines.
After Alina was taken to the hospital, the rescuers rested for a few minutes. They drank some water. Some lit cigarettes.
And then they went right back to work.
There could still be people trapped beneath the rubble. Among them, a grandmother and a teenager.
They keep searching.
Because they believe another miracle is possible.

Help save Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped by russia!
Please consider following @BringKidsBackUA and reposting 🙏🇺🇦
Ukrainian children have the right to preserve their identities and family ties. Russia’s deportation and unlawful adoption practices must end.
Thank you to @razomforukraine, @AmericaforUA and Meest for keeping these children’s return on the international agenda.
Every child deported or forcibly transferred by Russia must be found and returned safely and unconditionally.

We know from intelligence and some people around Putin that at the beginning of September Putin said, “No rules now.” The Russians couldn’t occupy us. So now they are doing massive attacks and massive killings. And of course they want to go after our bridges and, from what we understand, after our data centers, internet, cell network, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, universities – everything. They want people to run away from their cities, and we need to do everything to save our people and cities.
F-16s destroy 50 to 60% of jet drones now. This is one way, and we work a lot on getting weapons for F-16s. The second way is fast interceptors. Now we have five interceptors being tested. One day they are 70% effective, the other day – 30%. So, answering the question “When can we scale up the production?” – we don’t have billions to produce a million interceptors which will not work. Engines are key. We import a lot and produce some, but these numbers are not enough.
So out of these 5 samples, some were used five times, some ten, and some only once. But you had one, and destroyed one Russian drone. This is the problem. I don’t know the exact date, but in October, we will have 400 of these interceptors. And it is normal when you use 400 interceptors over several days of attacks, and you say, “Look, guys, sorry, but it destroys only 10%. It doesn’t work.” Or, for example, if it is 30% or more, “Great, guys, you have to work a little bit on it, and when the percentage is 60–70% – huge success.”

Kyiv is being bombed more in September 2026 than at any point since the full-scale invasion began more than 4 years ago.
Have you seen that leading the news in the UK? Any front pages? No.
This is our top story every night at @TVPWorld, because Central Europe simply cares more.

People in Oleshky, temporarily occupied by Russia, are facing severe shortages of food, water, electricity, and medicine as regular supply routes have been cut off. Russia is blocking access to the town and preventing civilians from leaving.
Ukrainians around the world are taking to the streets to draw attention to this humanitarian catastrophe. One such rally took place in Portugal.
With winter approaching, people in Oleshky urgently need help. The world must unite to save the civilians trapped there.

💔 Natalia Bukalo was killed in the russian strike on the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv yesterday.
She was outside during her lunch break when the explosion hit.
She was simply at work. A civilian. A human being.
