I’m reporting from Kiev, Ukraine, where the war has been ongoing for 620 days. It’s a somber day, as Ukrainian troops celebrated the Day of Artillery, only for them to come under attack by Russian drones. The loss of life is devastating, with reports ranging from 2-3 million Russian casualties. It’s a stark reminder of the human cost of this senseless war.

I’ve been covering the loss of innocent civilians, like Yuri Glodon, who lost his wife and newborn daughter in a Russian missile strike on civilians in Odessa. Despite this tragedy, Yuri still chose to fight on, giving his life for Ukraine. His bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

On a more positive note, Ukrainian artillery has been conducting 1,100 strikes on Russian positions, with reports of 8,000 Russian casualties and 8 destroyed tanks and 14 armored vehicles. The Ukrainian Air Force also targeted a Russian military shipyard in occupied Crimea, while Ukrainian special forces reported several fires near Russian bases and training camps.

But it’s not all just about the military actions. There’s been a recent escalation in the so-called “Russian cringe,” with reports of Russian soldiers driving odd-looking vehicles with toy nuclear warheads attached. It’s all about intimidating the US and its citizens, but even that effort has backfired, as it’s been met with ridicule and embarrassment. In a taste of frustration, Russia’s own nuclear missile attempts have failed to reach their targets, leaving them looking unreliable and ineffective. As we remember our fallen heroes, let’s continue to stand up against Russian terrorism and support the democratic world’s fight for peace and freedom.
