yeah, and wolf, the ukrainians say it was seven missiles that hit an american sized mall, one of the biggest in southern ukraine. one person was killed but there almost surely would have been more if it weren t for the citywide curfew that kept the mall closed yesterday. also two hotels were hit. one owned by a pro-russian businessman, though it s not clear why or if it was the intended target. russia s bombing campaign in odesa comes just as the ukrainians make some progress in taking back territory around kharkiv. new drone video shows the moment a russian tank is destroyed just outside a village east of kharkiv. it s not clear when the video was taken, but it s an area where ukraine is launching a counteroffensive to retake occupied land. at the top of the frame is what s left of an evacuation convoy of civilians attempting to reach ukrainian held territory. video posted to social media on friday shows the convoy was fired on. cars are riddled with bullet holes. stroller
