The Russian army is bombarding Ukraine with obsolete missiles from its nuclear arsenal, removing their warheads. This conclusion was made by British intelligence, having studied photographs of downed shells.

/1
Open source images show the wreckage of a destroyed AS-15 Kent (X-55) air-launched cruise missile designed in the 1980s to carry nuclear weapons. The warhead was probably replaced with ballast, intelligence officials say.

/2
Most likely, Russian forces use such missiles as decoys to divert Ukrainian air defenses. Projectiles are dangerous even without nuclear warheads, since they can cause damage "due to their kinetic energy and unused fuel." However, /3
it will not be possible to achieve a reliable defeat of targets with their help, the British military adds.

In general, the fact that Russia has begun to dismantle its nuclear arsenal indicates the depletion of its stocks of long-range missiles, the report emphasizes. /4

"Bird" from "Azovstal" moved with a poem written in captivity

Paramedic Kateryna "Ptashka" Polishchuk, who not only defended "Azovstal" and Mariupol, but also supported her brothers and sisters with her songs in the most difficult days, now moved Ukrainians with her poem. /1 Image
The girl wrote it while in Russian captivity

According to Kateryna, she wrote her poem on June 12, when she was held captive by the occupiers. The paramedic could not write it down and save it, so she learned it by heart.

⚡️ @TheStudyofWar: The Russians know they can't stop the Ukrainian Armed Forces from crossing the Dnieper
The authors of the report "assess the defensive positions that #AF_RF occupy in the eastern part of the Kherson region, and what these positions say about the expectations /1 Image
