I often have the same dream: that I'm trying to get home, says Elena Lebedeva, setting out tea and sandwiches in the tiny kitchen of her rented flat. There's always some checkpoint, obstacle, something in the way. I keep going walking, running, crawling but I never manage to reach it.

They're drug traffickers, he said. We have to get rid of them because they're killing Americans. They're being hunted. Not our political adversaries. Actual drug traffickers. You know, these are the people that Democrats would never call deplorable,' but God forbid you deadname a trans. So, I think we are easy to figure out. You know, we are open about our love for law and order.

Ukrainian forces said they had regained control of the village of Filia in the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, and reported bringing down a Russian ballistic missile and 164 drones of different types over the past day. Ukraine's military also claimed a strike on Russia's Kirishi oil refinery in the northwestern Leningrad region, causing explosions and a fire. The governor of the Leningrad region, Alexander Drozdenko, said the fire on the refinery's grounds was caused by falling drone debris, after Russian forces shot down three Ukrainian drones.

The wife, child and mother were at home at the time," Sudakov said in the accompanying post. A wave of 805 drones and 13 missiles were sent by Russia overnight, according to Ukraine's air force.
