The strikes come after the Biden administration quietly supplied Ukraine with the long-range missiles. Ukraine's top commander shared striking footage of the ATACMS launch on Telegram. The US quietly supplied Ukraine with a small number of the long-range missiles in recent days following more than a year of back-and-forth. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi shared footage of the launch of US supplied ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles on his Telegram channel. Ukraine had long asked for the long-range missiles, which allow its forces to safely target Russian positions situated further back without having to approach the front lines.

A viral Russian social media post appears to mock a little girl killed in Ukraine on Saturday. A picture of a memorial to 6-year-old Sophia attracted thousands of 'laughing' emojis in a Russian post. Six-year-old Sophia was among seven people killed and 144 injured in the strike on Chernihiv, northern Ukraine, per officials. But the post has been taken as a macabre joke, with more than 45,000 "laughing" emojis in Rushton's screenshot, shared on Sunday. Though neither the Ukrainian MOD post nor the pro-Russian account named the girl, they appear to both refer to Sophia, the young victim.

Its impressive arsenal includes 90 US-supplied Stryker vehicles, 40 German-produced Marders, 24 US M113 infantry carriers, as well as 14 British Challenger tanks, Politico reported.

There are 18 variants of the combat vehicle, and more than 4,900 have been built in the last 20 years by General Dynamics.

☆ Ukraine sends the powerhouse 82nd Air Assault Brigade into battle, as generals decide 'to put all their chips on the table,' says defense analyst

Ukraine's 82nd Air Assault Brigade has officially joined the counteroffensive against the Russian invasion forces, the Kyiv Post reports. Leaked documents from earlier this year revealed the 82nd Brigade was a formidable unit with about 150 NATO-supplied armored infantry carriers. Forbes called the 82nd Brigade "almost comically powerful" as it represents half of its best NATO-delivered infantry armored vehicles. The 82nd Brigade, and its sister air-assault unit, the 46th Brigade, had previously been held in reserve. The 82nd Brigade is reportedly active in the village of Robotyne, in the southern Zaporizhzhia Region of Ukraine.

☆ Putin's embattled defense minister Shoigu appeared in a video released after the Wagner mutiny that experts say is confusing and feels off
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Russian defense chief Shoigu appeared in a video released after the Wagner Group's armed rebellion. Moscow published the video purportedly showing Shoigu in Ukraine, though its unclear when it was filmed. Some Russian milblogger channels have arrived at the same conclusion, that the video of Shoigu was older footage. Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the notorious Wagner mercenary organization, has long criticized Moscow's military leadership over its handling of the war in Ukraine. Russia denied the allegations, but it didn't stop Prigozhin from openly encouraging his mercenaries to take up arms against the defense ministry in open rebellion.
