said that only one step remains before Ukraine can begin launching its ballistic missile: testing the engine.

"Only after we test the engine will we begin flight tests. Then, as soon as we see that the missile is controllable and does what the algorithm tells it to do, we will begin testing it on Russia," he said.

?? According to Shtilierman, Russia has no experience intercepting ballistic missiles, and once Ukrainian missiles begin flying, it will not be able to quickly learn how to intercept them.

"Yes, they will learn, but we will learn much faster. We will use maneuvers to evade air defenses. The spear always defeats the shield," Shtilierman said.

?? The targets for Ukraine's ballistic missiles remain unchanged: Russia's capital and heavily protected military facilities.

"When a very large share of the missiles we launch begin reaching Moscow, I hope it will somehow change something in their minds," Shtilierman added.

Quote: "Pilots from Kairos, the 414th Separate Brigade Birds of Magyar, hunted down and hit eight tankers from Russia's shadow fleet in a single night. The battle for fuel supplies to Crimea in the Sea of Azov continues."

Details: In addition to the fuel tankers, Brovdi said Ukrainian forces also struck a cargo ship and a ferry.

According to Brovdi, all of the damaged tankers have been identified. He said they are subject to international sanctions, have a deadweight of around 7,000 tonnes, are approximately 140 metres long and were built between 2006 and 2012.

He identified the vessels as Venera-3, Sanar-1, Sanar-17, Klimena, Teti, Alexei Savrasov and Penelopa. The name of the eighth tanker is still being confirmed, he added.

Two shadow fleet tankers were delivering fuel from the Taganrog area to Crimea across the Sea of Azov, each carrying 7,000 tons of fuel (the equivalent of 200 rail tank cars).

Details: "As of 12:20, we have 12 confirmed dead from the Russian attack on Kyiv," Tkachenko said.

According to the authorities, the number of casualties varies. The head of Kyiv City Military Administration says that after cross-referencing data from medics, it emerged that 49 people have been injured in the capital.

Klitschko reported that over 50 people were injured.

President Zelenskyy previously said almost 60 people had been injured in the capital.

The rubble removal and on-site rescue operations are continuing non-stop.

Background:

On the night of 5-6 July, Russia launched a massive combined attack on Ukraine using strike drones as well as air-, land- and sea-launched missiles of various types. Ukrainian air defences downed 363 of the 419 aerial targets launched. However, 29 ballistic missiles and 18 attack drones struck targets at 34 locations across the country.
While the air defence forces had a very high success rate in shooting down Russian cruise missiles and drones, not a single ballistic missile was intercepted. Ukraine's Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat explained why this is the case.

"Between 1 and 5 July, the USF Birds switched off 37 power infrastructure nodes across the temporarily occupied south."
