Russian forces launched a massive attack on energy infrastructure in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Lviv Oblasts, Deputy Head of Presidential Office Oleksiy Kuleba said on Telegram on April 11.
An air-raid warning began to extend across Ukraine at around 06:00 on 8 January, with the Ukrainian Air Force confirming missile launches from Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers and MiG-31K fighters. The all-clear was sounded at 08:24, with the air-raid lasting for over two hours.
It was the summer of 1989. Residents of Fergana, one of the largest cities in what was then the Uzbek SSR, brought carefully picked garden fruits, vegetables, and herbs to the bazaar, their sweet-spicy smells beckoning. Cats crawled around, trying to get any kind of attention. Locals and tourists alike flocked to the square.
