The Kremlin does not extend the grain deal. This will have repercussions around the world.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has admitted that Russian counterattacks near Kharkiv have put Ukrainian forces on the defensive.
Another top Russian general has been deposed. At the same time, a Russian airborne brigade threatened to disobey orders if they did not get back their commander, who was previously deposed.
The damage to the bridge again does not look decisive. One of the two car lanes is interrupted. The other looks intact on photos (we do not know the static data). The railway bridge resumed normal operations already 5 hours after the attack. For logistical supplies, the trains most likely are far more essential then trucks. The flow of Russian tourists however has come to a halt. Maybe it was a Russian false flag operation to dissolve the 13km long tourist traffic jam they had a couple of days ago.
