Another successful attack on Russian Black fleet: reports @tweetsNV
Frankly, I am starting to lose track…
This time Ukraine's SBU used experimental naval drone "Sea Tadpole" to strike Russian missile ship Samum near Sevastopol 1/
Drone hit rear right section, caused significant damage. Samum lost propulsion. Towed for repairs with stern tilt & right list. 2/
SBU sources: attack used experimental drone able to operate in storms & hide in high waves. Waves reached 1.5-2m during op. 3/
Also, on Sep 14 morning, Ukraine struck two Russian Vasily Bykov patrol ships in Black Sea, damaging both. Used naval drones. 4/
Day before, there were explosions occupied Sevastopol. Russia admitted strike on shipyard & damage to two ships "under repair".5/
Ukraine intelligence reported that large landing ship Minsk & submarine Rostov-on-Don hit. Both unsalvageable 6/
Since full invasion began, Ukraine destroyed 20 ships, boats & 1 submarine of aggressor country per General Staff, of which 5 - 25% - were done in the last two days. 7X

I visited a brigade last week to learn about officers’ training. But I can’t talk about that
I was most fascinated by cooking. Imagine you have to feed 1000 people 3 times every day in the woods w/o electricity and fridges 1/
So, what do people eat? When I visited the brigade I sat down with the commanders for lunch.
There was a sausage soup, cooked chicken and potatoes, and marinated veggies - carrots, seaweed, and onion. They were surprising tasty. There was also a typical Ukrainian drink - kompot
The food was good. It tasted as your typical campfire food. Partly, because it was prepared on a fire stove. The meat and potatoes were fresh, not canned, so I was puzzled how they store the ingredients 3/
This is Yegor Stadnyi. He is the brain and engine behind the explosive growth of KSE University.
Under his leadership, our admission numbers have increased 350% this year, while application numbers have increased 600%
He did thee things: 1/
Yegor restructured all education programs at KSE to reflect the changes in the society, workplace, students aspirations imposed by the war. He also introduced 8 new programs, expanding programming of the Kyiv School of Economics from economics and CS to math, law, psychology 2/
Yegor has also transformed the admission and instruction processes to a modern industrial enterprise.
We now have a call center, where current students call prospective students and answer any of their questions and concerns 3/
As of August 1, Russia illegally deported 5,754 Ukrainian children. This is the officially documented number by Ukrainian authorities. The reality is likely to be much worse.
Russia also works on simplified adoption of Ukrainians 1/
In Krasnodar ralone, over 1,000 children illegally taken from occupied Mariupol were put up for "adoption." 2/
In Kherson, occupiers calling deportation of kids to Russia "recreation." The occupying authorities today announced they are sending 20 children to camp in Russia's Primorsky region for indefinite stay. 3/
Ukraine conducted a major special operation near occupied Yevpatoria in Crimea last night. This is different from the attack on the ships in Sevastopol. Ukraine's security service SBU says its drones first struck Russian air defense radars and antennas. 1/
After disabling their radar capabilities, Ukraine's navy fired two Neptune cruise missiles at the Russian S-300/400 Triumph air defense systems worth $1.2 billion. Russian sources confirm the strikes rendered the systems inoperable. 2/
This operation demonstrates Ukraine's growing ability to penetrate Russian defenses in occupied territory. It also shows that Ukraine has substantively scaled up attacks on Crimea. SBU chief says more surprises for Russians in Crimea are coming. 3/
Ukrainian mathematician Maryna Viazovska has won the Fields Medal, a Nobel Prize for mathematics. She is the second woman ever to receive the medal. Maryna solved a 400-year-old sphere packing problem
Now she founded a new int'l mathematics research center in Kyiv
1/
The objective of the center is to revive mathematical science in Ukraine. The effort is led by Maryna Vyazovska and Maryna Vlasenko, and other Ukrainian mathematicians with prominent international standing. 2/
The center got a €1M early donation i
from the algorithmic trading company XTX in London and €200k from the French government. 3/
