People in Kyiv are heading to the Metro for the night - a large number of drone launches have been reported, and Russian strategic bombers are taking off. Another big attack expected. Drones seem to be bypassing Kyiv and heading west, however. Putin escalating his war on Ukraine.

It would depend to some extent on the type of aircraft. Presumably the aircraft was IRS equipped, so it should have remained completely operable. The GPS jamming would therefore be an inconvenience only assuming a ground based approach system (eg ILS) was available.

In just the past week or so, Russia has bombed a US factory in Ukraine, bombed an EU office in Ukraine, and jammed the navigation system on a plane carrying the EU president, forcing the pilots to land using paper maps. Putin does not want peace. He will keep pushing until we fight back.

The assassination of Andriy Parubiy, the former speaker of Ukraine’s parliament and a fierce opponent of Russia, is the most significant killing in a string of high-profile murders since the war with Russia began. www.ft.com/content/d08a...
If you don’t know about Heather Honey, you should. She’s a national embarrassment, virulent election denier and now in charge of election policies for the US government. www.propublica.org/article/heat...
Former Speaker of Ukraine’s Parliament Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in Lviv today. The attacker, disguised as a Glovo courier on an e-bike, fired 8 shots and fled. President Zelensky called it a “horrific murder” and vowed a full investigation as security services hunt the suspect.
Another massive attack on Ukraine, the second in two days - this time the fascist Russian Blitz was focused on Dnipro, which was attacked by Russian/Iranian Shahed Doodlebug drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. Zaporizhzhya and Pavlohrad also attacked by ballistics.
Russia continues to write its version of “peace” in fire and blood. Overnight, Zaporizhzhia endured over 10 strikes. One person was killed, 22 injured — children among them.

🔴 One person was killed and 22 people were injured in a nighttime Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia, local authorities reported. Among the wounded are three children—boys aged 9 and 10, and a 16-year-old girl.

⚡️Update: 1 killed, 6 injured, including child, in Zaporizhzhia amid large-scale Russian attack. One person has been killed and another six people injured, including a child, in a Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia, regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said.
Yet another night of russia “seeking peace” by launching missiles and drones across Ukraine. Explosions echo through cities, including Kyiv, still reeling from the last attack.
The former UK Defence Secretary experienced the horrors in Kyiv on Wednesday. Ben Wallace says "Putin is laughing at Trump." I think it's beyond laughter, because it's no longer a surprise. More accurate to say Putin controls Trump.

Twice in two weeks, a family lost their home to Russian attacks. First in Dobropillia, now in Kyiv. This is what life next to Russia looks like.

White House spins Kyiv massacre — downplaying Russia’s strike that killed 17 (incl. children) & hit EU + British Council, while hinting Zelensky’s to blame.
In Kyiv, rescue teams worked through the night at the site of the russian strike, recovering bodies from beneath the rubble. 23 people were killed, including four children.

Do you remember when Trump pretended to care about Russia bombarding and killing Ukrainian civilians? Seems like so long ago…. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Now 14 dead in Kyiv. Russia will continue to do this until it faces crippling, well enforced sanctions, and more military pressure from Ukraine, aided by the West. Putin sees only weakness from Trump and the West, which encourages more attacks. Action - not "resolve to stand with" - is needed.
🚨 BREAKING: Russia has struck the EU delegation building in Kyiv. Read the developing story: ow.ly/N2RW50WNllP
💔 Three children died in Kyiv as a result of the Russian attack. The youngest is only 3 years old.
🙏 The death toll has increased to 12 people.
⚡️Update: At least 10 killed, 48 injured in Russian mass attack on Kyiv. The Russian attack also damaged a building of the EU mission to Ukraine, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X. "This requires not only the EU’s, but worldwide condemnation," he added.
For the past half a year, Russian strikes on civilians have only grown more brutal for one main reason: while Putin slaughters children, Trump is busy bragging and signing photos with him.
🔴 Russian forces conducted one of the biggest combined attacks on Ukraine during this month. The attack lasted 13 hours, targeting Kyiv, Starokostiantyniv, and Donetsk region.
