An anti-war group in #Russia has discovered 26 fresh graves in the city of #Krasnodar.
Activist Vitaly Votanovsky said that 406 #Wagner fighters are now buried in the cemetery, just in one city.
That's not including the "missing" or incinerated to avoid payments.

Many areas of #Ukraine still have problems after yesterday's mass missile attack by #Russia.
In #Kharkiv the metro is only to be used as a bomb shelter. There are also no electric trams.
Civilians still struggle without power.

Britain's daily report concentrates on yesterday's devastating attack by #Russia.
#Ukraine's air defence has improved but they need more, better systems to counter the deadly threat. Right now Russian can overwhelm air defence.

#Russia will hold elections in exactly 6 months to choose new Governors and Deputies.
"Leaders" in Occupied parts of #Ukraine also hope to join in, forcing the subjected population to 'validate' the process. So right now they are threatening those who don't have a 🇷🇺 passport.

Some concern in #Kyiv at @RishiSunak's comments
The British PM said "this (war) will end as all conflicts do, at the negotiating table."
This is just not true by the way
Sunak did pledge continued support, saying #Ukraine will be in the “best possible place to have those talks”

You may have read about numerous explosions in #Mariupol' today.
I don't have any contacts near there, but I trust the "Mariupol Now" Telegram channel. They say any blasts are a long way from the Occupied city.
So it could easily just be #Russia training recruits.

#Russia's ruble today fell to its lowest value against the Euro and Pound for almost 11 months.
€1 is currently worth around 81 Rubles. In June it had slipped under 55 rubles.
Falling fuel prices, use of reserves, continuing sanctions all erode the Russian economy.

The disgraced French retailer @AUCHAN_France has nailed its colours firmly to #Russia's flag once again.
Not only did they aid Russian troops directly, refuse to leave the Russia market, Auchan now plans to open a new chain of "My Auchan" stores across the Terrorist State.

#Russia is trying to overthrow the pro-western government in #Moldova.
US officials say Russian intelligence is planning to organise protests in Moldova to overthrow the govt and install a more pro-Russian one.
It's no surprise - the protests have been happening a while.
