Here's our beat-by-beat dive into how Ukrainians pulled off their audacious attack on Russia's warplanes. Our team analysed satellite, video, and photo evidence, spoke to people with knowledge of the attack and scoured official statements for this story: wsj.com/world/ukraine-…
'More than 1,000 people gathered Tuesday evening on the hill near the president’s office and shouted “Shame” and “Veto the law,” the first major demonstration against Zelensky’s government since the war against Russia began more than three years ago.' wsj.com/world/europe/u…
A sky full of buzzing robots has changed everything about how the war in Ukraine is conducted on.wsj.com/40vsNBK
Kyiv. Bohdana, who is 9 months pregnant, writes on Instagram after the night shelling of Kyiv #Ukraine “2022: they took my father 2025: they took my home”
After last night’s Russian bombardment in Kyiv, a metro station — probably the most bombed one in the city — filled with smoke as people were sheltering in it. Russia used over 400 attack drones and 24 missiles in last night’s air raid across Ukraine.
Hi there. Do you, a friend, colleague, or family dog, want to nail #OSINT basics: geolocation, flight tracking, hidden info, disinfo etc? I've published 40 videos on YouTube. Upside: they're free. Downside: my Aussie twang and choice of intro tunes. youtube.com/@Bendobrown/fe…
Russia has launched 1,125 attack drones at Ukraine in the past two nights. Recently, Russia launched more attack drones in a single day than in the all of July last year, per @Cen4infoRes analysis. Our story on Russia's growing capabilities @mjluxmoore wsj.com/world/russia-i…
The most surreal part of overnight air raids is that the next day life continues as scheduled. Everyone heads to work, opens their shops on time, walks their dogs, drops their kids at school. Maybe a little distant, maybe a little tired, but stubbornly punctual.
The Lolita update is that we’re besties now
Saw Lolita from my shelter going about her neighbourhood business today. Felt like a celebrity sighting. Read about how we spend our nights in Kyiv. wsj.com/world/gaming-t…
Another harrowing night in Kyiv and my neighbourhood is getting pummelled. A boy ran into my shelter with his family earlier, crying . “I thought this was my last night,” he told his grandma as she cuddled him. Then, at 3:00 am: “I’m 8 years old now! It’s already my birthday!”
Trump told Zelensky it wasn’t his decision to freeze military supplies to Ukraine — and now the flow of arms has resumed. wsj.com/politics/natio…
On 8 July 2024, a #Russian missile hit the roof of the #Ohmatdyt toxicology and traumatology building in #Kyiv, destroying it and damaging four more buildings. The attack killed two people, including a doctor, and left more than 50 others seriously injured. ⬇️
GIJN and the @KnightCenterUT are offering a new course for free on Digital Security for Journalists in Times of Crisis. It starts tomorrow❗️ But, there's still time to register: twp.ai/4inza5
After bombardments like yesterday's, Kyivans say hello with the words "was it loud where you were?" and later, when departing, wish each other quiet.
"Friday Morning", 2024 by Kateryna Kosianenko. About 550 (mostly) drones and missiles were sent by russians on Ukraine today (mostly on Kyiv). It was one of the largest attacks that lasted for 12 hours.
Putin is plotting yet another summer of relentless attacks, trying to exhaust Ukraine's army and civilians as U.S. pulls back support: wsj.com/world/russia-u…
A U.S. move to withhold Patriot interceptor missiles from Ukraine is a blow to the embattled country’s efforts to withstand Russia’s mounting aerial assaults @JaneLytv and @macdonaldajm wsj.com/world/what-the…

Russia fired 5,429 attack drones at Ukraine in June, an all-time high. During those air raids, drones are supplemented by cruise and ballistic missiles. June was one of the most difficult months for bombardments in Ukraine, ever. Last week, an F16 pilot died fighting an assault.
BREAKING: White House confirms it has halted weapons that Ukraine was scheduled to receive, including PAC3 Patriots, 155mm artillery rounds, GMLRS, Stinger, AIM-7, and Hellfire missiles. @AnnaKelly47 tells me: “This decision was made to put America’s interests first following a…
So Zelensky did everything Trump asked him to do, signed away mineral rights, agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, and the U.S. still cut off previously funded weapons supplies, leaving Ukrainian cities defenseless against Russian missile strikes. A lesson to all here.
