🔴 BREAKING: Russian forces attacked a university in Kharkiv with a drone. Four people were injured, the mayor reported.

In the latest episode of Ukraine This Week, the Kyiv Independent’s Anna Belokur breaks down Russia’s largest drone and missile attack on Ukraine, as well as the shocking incursion of Russian drones into Poland.

NATO says Russian drones in Polish airspace do not constitute attack on Alliance. This marks first time NATO aircraft engaged threats over allied territory, with Polish F16s, Dutch F35s, Italian AWACS & NATO refueling planes. In Wyryki, Poland, a drone hit a residential building. 📷 Zelensky/te

🔴 Zelenskyy: "Ukraine is ready to help Poland build a proper warning and defense system against such Russian challenges."

Good bye basic 📦 plots! I’m getting on a ggplot2 journey from now on! Any recommendations on tutorials, themes, colour palettes, ribbons, histograms, time series, multiple plots? #rstats

On September 4, 1985, Ukraine lost poet and human rights activist Vasyl Stus, who died during a hunger strike after 13 years in Soviet prisons for his political beliefs.

Call for speakers from Workshops for Ukraine! I highly recommend! It so so good and so much fun! …and helps Ukraine!

President Zelensky’s Independence Day Address with subtitles 1) “They remind us that all this is Ukraine and our people are there. & distance can change that. & no temporary occupation can alter that. & one day this distance will disappear and we will be together again as one family one country”

I love this! The answer to meet the demand. As much as Hamilton always exaggerates taking on battles against other academics, on this one he’s right: no HP filter! … or any filter at all. Use state-space or unobserved component models instead peeps! 🐥

⚡️88% to provide 2 pickup trucks to Omega unity and 40 FPV drones to the Azov Brigade achieved! Let’s hit 90% today: www.help99.co/patches/special-kherson-cat-13th-nafo-campaign ✅ Funds for 2 trucks for Omega and 27 FPV drones for Azov are already secured. It remains to provide 13 FPV drones.

"And the committee guys from the the Sveriges Riksbank, they came to me, and they had tears in their eyes, and they were begging, Sir please take this Econ Nobel"

This time they will, right? 🤖👾 The markets are right in their assessment that the cash rate is on a downward-sloping trajectory. Last month’s decision to HOLD does not contradict this. Unsurprisingly, this month, similarly to July, my predictions indicate a CUT. 👽🚀 #cashrate #forecasting #rstats

Absolutely massive turnout from people of Sydney marching over Sydney Harbour Bridge calling for an immediate ceasefire and end to the genocide in Gaza. March so big NSW Police have now turned us around back over the bridge.. #freepalestine

American journalist, historian, and author Anne Applebaum on the West's biggest mistake in Russia's war against #Ukraine: "The West doesn't understand the extremism of Putinism. They keep imagining that there's a deal to be done, that if we just give Crimea to Russia, then he'll stop fighting.⤵️

In just the last month, Russia launched over 5,000 Iranian-type drones at Ukraine.

Tonight’s Russian attack by the numbers.

The Polish Consulate in #Kyiv was damaged by the Russian attack last night @radek-sikorski.bsky.social Putin has once more demonstrated that he only understands force.
