Parades, flags and songs: The campaign to force Ukrainian children to love Russia bbc.in/3IBae94

How Russia trains Ukrainian children to fight the Ukrainian army and love Russia. My latest for BBC News: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Russia’s “swarm” tactics against Ukraine are increasingly cutting through Ukraine’s defences, with drones striking targets at three times the typical rate in recent months. Charles Clover and Christopher Miller report: ft.com/content/1a19df…

Не сотни, не тысячи, не десятки тысяч, а СОТНИ ТЫСЯЧ российских детей вовлечены в военную дроновую программу (сборка, софт, управление) и все это по прямой координации Путина и с всякими плюшками от государства, вроде дополнительных баллов по ЕГЭ. theins.ru/inv/283135

'He’s the bully in the schoolyard and we didn’t join others in standing up to him,' said one diplomat. 'Those who don’t hang together get hanged separately.' on.ft.com/3U44zLc

Meanwhile in Russia: state media outlet RIA Novosti:

Once again, I had to check if this was real. It is.

Trump: "I think we're gonna be very successful fairly soon. We'll have drug prices coming down by 500, 600, 800, even 1,200 percent."

The market was attacked at the busiest time on a market day. Hard to see any purpose in this other than to kill and terrorise civilians

There's been a string of Russian attacks on Ukrainian markets, e.g. legendary Privoz in Odesa on 24 Jul, Druzhkivka market on 2 Aug and now Radio market in Odesa. Nothing military about these targets.

Russia says it will no longer be bound by "self-imposed limitations" on deploying medium- and short-range missiles. Looks like Moscow has decided to threaten rather than appease Trump ahead of the deadline to reach a deal with Ukraine by Friday.
