A year ago I was about to leave #Ukraine, scrambling to fly after airlines cancelled routes out.
It was a little quieter than normal but no-one believed bombs would be raining down in just 10 days' time.
Millions of peaceful lives ruined.

Smoke could be seen across the city of #Kazan much of the day.
A car service centre and a warehouse burned down.
Fire officials say burning tyres were the cause of the smoke. Doesn't look war related.

Photos appeared of the German port city of Bremerhaven, after the US ship Arc Integrity unloaded. A total of 280 military vehicles local journalists report.
This is the same ship which the week before visited Antwerp and likely unloaded there too.

It's been a strange day for #Russia watchers in many respects. #Wagner group has spent a lot of time today posting how they won't take #Bakhmut any time soon.

#Russia randomly claims it shot down another helicopter and a plane today, both near #Sloviansk in #Donetsk region.
It's possible, but Russian claims over aviation have been more exaggerated than any other category (except destroying Bradley machines before they arrived!)

Another blaze to end the day. Always interesting when there's a fire which affects the railways.
This time a train repair business burned down in Kolomna, about 110km south of #Moscow.
First floor ceilings collapsed but the blaze is now reported to be out.
