Russian forces struck Kyiv with ballistic missiles and drones in the early hours of July 6. According to data from the Ukrainian Air Force command, a total of 68 missiles of various types and more than 350 drones (including decoy drones) were launched against Ukraine. Kyiv was the primary target. Air defense systems protecting the Ukrainian capital were unable to intercept any of the 23 ballistic missiles or six “Zircon” missiles. A Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson said that Ukrainian forces lack sufficient missiles for Patriot air defense systems. According to the latest figures, 11 people were killed and 46 were wounded in Kyiv as a result of the Russian strike, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported. Buildings in four districts of the city were damaged, with the most severe destruction in the Podilskyi district. Ukrainian authorities cautioned that the casualty figures are not final, as rescue operations at the sites of destroyed buildings are ongoing. July 7 has been declared a day of mourning in Kyiv.

Jaw-Dropping Scale of Putin’s Humiliating Crisis Exposed

Anastasia Barashkova/Pool via ReutersUkrainian drone attacks have plunged Russia into a fuel crisis affecting roughly 50 million people—about 35 percent of the population—on a scale not seen since the final years of the Soviet Union, according to a new Financial Times analysis. Waiting times at gas stations in some regions have stretched to several days. Social media has been filled with footage of fistfights breaking out in lines. One southern region has deployed Cossacks in traditional fur hats to keep order at gas stations. A Siberian governor ordered officials to provide hot meals to people waiting in line. Others have begun selling their spots in the line on social media. Several regional governments have introduced odd-even license plate rationing to manage demand.The pressure has been building since May, when Ukraine significantly stepped up drone strikes against Russian oil infrastructure. Ukraine has now hit Russia’s 10 biggest refineries, including its largest—in the Siberian city of Omsk, roughly 1,500 miles from the front line—in a strike that independent Russian investigative outlet Agentstvo estimates has brought approximately 85 percent of Russia’s refining capacity within drone range.Read more at The Daily Beast.
