Ukrainian athlete Yaroslava Mahuchikh set a new world record in women's high jump, clearing 2.10 meters. She achieved this height on her first attempt at the Diamond League stage in Paris. The previous record of 2.09 meters was set in 1987 by Bulgarian Stefka Kostadinova.
New British Defense Secretary John Healy promised to increase support for Ukraine during a visit to Odesa, less than 48 hours after his appointment.
Healy also announced that Great Britain will provide Ukraine with a new support package, which includes:
▫️ A quarter of a million 50-caliber rounds
▫️ 90 Brimstone anti-tank missiles
▫️ 50 small military boats to support river and coastal operations
▫️ 40 demining machines
▫️ 10 AS-90 artillery guns
▫️ 61 bulldozers for the construction of defensive positions
▫️ Support for previously donated AS-90s, including 32 new barrels and critical spare parts that will help Ukraine produce 60,000 more 155mm rounds
John Healy also instructed government officials to ensure that the military aid package promised in April is accelerated and delivered to Ukraine in full within the next 100 days.
Nice video from the pilots of the UAV attack company of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade.
This “invincible” Russian T-90 “Proryv”(“Breakthrough”) tank, worth several million dollars, from the arrival of an ordinary FPV drone, showed a significant performance in eliminating a considerable amount of ammunition.
On Sunday, explosions were reported in the occupied Melitopol area of the Zaporizhzhia region. According to media sources, the strikes targeted the airfield and the Avtokvitrolit area, where Russian military bases are located. The occupiers claimed they had shot down all the missiles.
Russian propagandists claim an American Patriot missile hit the Children's Hospital in Kyiv.
However, images clearly show a Russian Kh-101.

Winning With the Felon:
Former NYC mayor and lawyer Rudy Giuliani disbarred in New York over his part in Trump's election interference efforts in 2020. The court found him guilty of spreading repeatedly lies about Trumps alleged "rigged" election loss.
The New York state Supreme Court on Tuesday disbarred former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani over his part in Donald Trump’s election interference efforts in 2020.
The long-expected disbarment of Trump’s most high-profile lawyer, which is effective immediately, is a major blow to the former public official at a time he faces fallout for spreading lies about the 2020 election. In addition to losing his law license – which is likely to be recognized across the country – Giuliani is in bankruptcy after landing $150 million in debt for defaming two election workers, and faces several other lawsuits against him as well as criminal charges.
“The seriousness of (Giuliani’s) misconduct cannot be overstated,” the court wrote. “(Giuliani) flagrantly misused his prominent position as the personal attorney for former President Trump and his campaign, through which (he) repeatedly and intentionally made false statements, some of which were perjurious, to the federal court, state lawmakers, the public, the (Attorney Grievance Committee), and this Court concerning the 2020 Presidential election, in which he baselessly attacked and undermined the integrity of this country’s electoral process.”
Giuliani, the court said, “not only deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 Presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant.”

Addition to previous report
At least 16 people were injured in the children's hospital in Kyiv
As a result of the attack on the Okhmatdyt children hospital, seven children and nine adults were injured, said the mayor of Kiev Vitaliy Klitschko.
15 of the 16 victims were hospitalized.
Meanwhile, the total number of victims of the shelling of Kyiv is already 15 people. Another 37 people were injured, the Office of the Prosecutor General reports.
They reported screaming children who were hospitalized, now entombed in the rubble. Absolutely horrific.
This is why allies must lift the restrictions on strikes inside russia or close the Ukrainian skies themselves.
"Okhmatdyt" Children's Hospital in Kyiv. One of the most important not only in Ukraine, but also in Europe exclusively CHILDREN'S hospital. "Okhmatdit" saved and restored health to thousands of children.
Now the hospital has been damaged by a Russian strike, people are under the rubble, the exact number of wounded and dead is currently unknown. Now everyone helps to sort out the debris: doctors, ordinary people.
Russia cannot help but know where its missiles are flying, and must fully answer for all its crimes: against people, against children, against humanity in general. It is very important that the world should not be silent about it now and that everyone should see what Russia is and what it is doing.
🤝Japan and Cambodia will help with demining of Ukraine.
Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa made the announcement during a visit to the Cambodian Mine Action Center, which was established in the 1990s at the end of decades of civil war in the country.
She emphasized that Cambodia is a leader in demining around the world. In particular, next week Ukraine will have a large demining machine, and next month in Cambodia, Ukrainian personnel will be trained on how to work with this machine.
A real crumbling empire
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán shared his impressions of his recent trip to Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Orbán described the meeting as "extraordinary," emphasizing Putin's control over significant warheads, territory, population, and natural resources, referring to Russia as "a real empire."
Orbán noted that the trip was organized under conditions of extreme secrecy, which he maintained "as long as he could." He also hinted at "similar unexpected meetings" that might occur next week but did not provide specifics about with whom these meetings would be.
The standard issue uniforms are made for men. In case you had not noticed, women's anatomy is different. This group make uniforms for women that fit their bodies. They fit well and make the women feel better wearing them.
🤝 Border guards of the "Steel Border" received uniforms from Arm Women Now
The initiator of the project was Iryna Nikorak, a public figure and People's Deputy of Ukraine. She handed over half a hundred sets of military uniforms for the women of the Steel Border border brigade. The American women's uniform according to NATO standards became a model of quality and functionality.
Arm Women Now is a social initiative implemented by the Courageous Ukraine NGO. This is a project about equality, dignity and respect for women in the security and defense sector, about providing female defenders of Ukraine with uniforms and means of personal protection.
