Satellite image shared by @detresfa – a global researcher with The Intel Lab, which features deep analysis by geopolitical intelligence experts – provides an example of how the Ukraine war has devastated the eastern European country. Image shows miles of farmlands riddled with ‘burn and impact scars caused by skirmishes and shelling’ and homes that seem to be on fire.
Explosions were heard in Kyiv overnight while fighting continues in areas outside the city, including Bucha, Ispin and Hostomel. Russia has captured the port city of Kherson and a few small towns, as well as the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the derelict Chernobyl plant. Ukraine was invaded by Russian forces on February 24, with Moscow advancing steadily, if slowly and steadily towards capital Kyiv.
Russian forces have surrounded towns like Mariupol and unleased multiple rocket and missile strikes that have hit civilian centres, including hospitals. On Saturday, Ukraine’s parliament said ‘a group of 10 occupiers kidnapped the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov. He refused to cooperate with the enemy’. Three people, including a child, were killed, and several others injured in an airstrike in Mari upol (on what date).
