10 days after the Russian missile attack, Livyu has not recovered. On the 6th of this month, 10 people were killed when a cruise missile hit a residential complex on Striska Street. 40 people were injured. The upper floors of the buildings turned into heaps of stones. Candles are still burning in front of pictures of those killed in the park.
After the start of the war, there was a relatively peaceful atmosphere in Livy. A town near Poland in the west. People from Harkiv and Mariupol, where the attacks were raging, used to leave the country through this route. It was through this way that aid was brought from Western countries and foreign leaders came to visit.
Of the 10 Russian missiles fired at Livy, seven were destroyed, but three landed in populated areas. Anton Bayda, who came here from Harkiv and settled here, said that he had to seek shelter in the shelter due to the attack warning the previous day. This time there were no casualties as the missiles were destroyed.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s visit to Ukraine, despite the threat of Russian drone attacks, including the capital, Kiev, has brought excitement to Ukraine. Although South Korea is an arms exporter, it has not changed its position that it will not supply weapons to Ukraine. This is because of the policy of not giving weapons to those in the war zone. South Korea, which provides financial and philanthropic aid to Ukraine, is also helping to rebuild the Kakhovka dam, which was destroyed by Russia last month.
In the hours before Yun and his wife arrived, Ukraine’s air force said it shot down 10 Russian drones in other parts of the country, although there was no attack in Kiev. A concession on grain exports from Ukraine, which has been in place since August, expires on Monday. Concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not extend the concession are casting a shadow over Ukraine’s economy.
Chara Head has nothing to hide
Kyiv ∙ Kirylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s spy agency, is a close friend of 45-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky. Only 37 years old. Absent the usual secrecy of ‘spy chiefs’. Interviews will be given to foreign journalists. Only that there will be a pistol in hand. Even Putin’s close associates claimed to have given him information. GUR is the acronym for the Directorate of Intelligence under the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
‘Future wars will be like this. We are starting a trend’ – said Budanov in an interview given to journalists at the headquarters in Kyiv. “In 2014, when we lost Crimea, we also lost the information war. In 2022, everything was announced to the world and decided to move.’
Yevgeny Prigosh’s Wagner Group even targeted a Russian nuclear facility, Budanov says. He also says that he had predicted the attack of Russia. Taking office in August 2020, his popularity has soared since the start of the war. Russia has accused the Ukrainian spy agency of being behind the deaths of military vlogger Vladlen Tatarsky (40) and journalist Daria Dugina. Budanov denies the allegations, but is happy to compare himself to Israel’s Mossad in the context of them.
The painting behind Budanov’s seat at the GUR headquarters in Kyiv is meaningful – an owl chasing a bat. The bat is the symbol of the Russian spy agency SVR; Ukraine’s will be owled.
