A lucky escape for two children in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
A rocket hit their house and this wall collapsed on them, but the 3 and 15 year old boys escaped serious injury. It happened this morning in the village of Komyshuvakha.
There's a little propaganda in this article I saw in Ukrainian media. However, I do agree that #Russia's economy is in danger of falling off a cliff edge in the next few months, and it may have already started (Google translates it well)

Likely sabotage!
A couple of projects I worked on banned the use of Chinese mobiles for security reasons.

UPDATE:
Two FSB agents have been seriously injured in the car bomb attack by Ukraine partisans in #Melitopol
They are said to be seriously injured, so a high chance both are already dead.
The explosion caused by an IED, happened next to Gorky Park in the town centre.
At a time when #Ukraine is receiving more weapons from allies than ever before, #Putin mouthpiece Peskov was asked about the goal of 'demilitarising Ukraine'

I assume negative progress?😂😂

#Ukraine Telegram channels report air defence and explosions on #Crimea.
This is said to have been filmed near an oil depot in the village of Razlyvy in the east of the occupied territory.
For the record I'm not convinced this is from Crimea.
