Kyiv, Ukraine CNN —An aide to the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s military was killed after receiving a live grenade as a birthday present that was immediately detonated by his 13-year-old son. Chastyakov’s 13-year-old son then picked up one of the grenades and started turning the ring, Klymenko wrote. Zaluzhny, the chief of Ukraine’s military, wrote on Telegram that his “assistant and close friend” died “under tragic circumstances.”Police found five more unexploded grenades in the apartment, Klymenko said. Police said criminal proceedings had been initiated and an investigation is ongoing, though the Ukrainian interior ministry later said it considers the death an “accident” based on preliminary information. Klymenko assisted Zaluzhny as the military chief led Ukrainian troops in the war with Russia.

July 11 (Reuters) - A Russian military official who had commanded a submarine in the Black Sea and appeared on a Ukrainian blacklist of alleged war criminals has been shot dead by an unknown assassin while on his morning run. Russia's top investigative body said Stanislav Rzhitsky, 42, was gunned down early on Monday in the southern city of Krasnodar. Rzhitsky's address and personal details appeared on the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets (Peacemaker), a vast unofficial database of people considered to be enemies of Ukraine. Russian state media and war bloggers said Rzhitsky was deputy head of military mobilisation in the city and had previously commanded the "Krasnodar" submarine in the Black Sea. Russia has blamed Ukraine for the attacks, while Kyiv has denied involvement, suggesting they are the result of Russian infighting.

An inspection has found nearly a quarter of Ukraine's air-raid shelters are locked or unusable. A Kyiv woman waiting at a locked shelter was hit by falling missile fragments, her husband said. Kyiv's mayor said there had been "more than a thousand" complaints about dilapidated air-raid shelters. Out of the "over 4,800" shelters, the Ukrainian interior ministry said it had inspected, 252 were locked and a 893 were "unfit for use." A criminal probe has also begun after a 33-year-old woman in Kyiv died while waiting outside a closed shelter during a Russian missile barrage on Thursday, according to the Kyiv regional prosecutor's office.

A Russian TV host claimed that the UK is eating squirrels over Ukraine war-related food shortages. The claim appears to stem from unrelated reports advocating eating grey squirrels. Grey squirrels are an invasive species in the UK, and groups want to preserve native red squirrels. The group campaigns to preserve the country's native red squirrels, which are endangered due to competition by grey squirrels, considered a non-native invasive species. The group's remarks were reported in numerous news outlets — all in relation to efforts to cull grey squirrels without waste.
Yevgeny Prigozhin said the Russian front line will collapse if Wagner Group men don't hold Bakhmut. In a video circulated over the weekend, he called for more support from the regular Russian army. "If Wagner retreats from Bakhmut now, the whole front will collapse," he said, per Reuters' translation of a video that appeared online over the weekend. Prigozhin went on to complain about "shell hunger" and a lack of support from the Russian army. He has stoked a long-running feud with Russia's regular army leaders over support for his fighters and credit for their role in the war.
Explosions rocked two Russian military airbases hundreds of miles from the border with Ukraine on Monday, according to local officials and state media. Russian authorities said they were investigating the media reports about the explosions on the base.
