1. Volunteer "Lighthouse" ("Mayak") arrived in Ukraine from Pennsylvania, USA. The start of the full-scale invasion shook him, and he began to understand what was happening.

He researched the Maidan, the root causes, to understand the situation. And he quickly realized that in this situation, Ukraine was on the side of good.

That's when he decided to come to Ukraine. He chose the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade "Magura" because it is a strong brigade, and he also started communicating with future comrades from the reconnaissance unit even before officially joining the 47th.

2. While the enemy is planning its next assault, the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade systematically destroys everything that could support it.

This time in the Kupyansk direction, it was an UAZ Bukhanka vehicle, 2 pieces of artillery, a military vehicle storage, 1 ammo depot, and enemy personel.

3. A Ukrainian UGV operator of the 66th Mechanized Brigade's Asgard crew was able to evade an enemy FPV drone and able to supply a waiting unit with his Terrain Modular Infantry Transporter.

4. Occupier gunned down by Ukrainian soldier at close range.

5. Ukrainian drone pilot released a video of some of his unit's actions in the summer of 2025.

6. Ukrainian FPV drones destroying a column of russian Ulan all-terrain vehicles near the village of Byakovo in the Kursk region, which were heading towards the Sumy region for an offensive.

7. In the Sloviansk direction, the occupiers tried to sneak through on motorcycles and hide their communication equipment, but for Ukrainian drone pilots of the Apachi Strike Unit these are just more targets.

The result of the combat operation: One less piece of enemy equipment, fewer enemy soldiers and disrupted enemy communication.

8. Not quite the most effected way of suicide.

9. Destroying enemy equipment and occupiers North of Nesteryanka, Zaporizhzhia.

10. The servicemen of the Ronin reconnaissance company continue to perform combat missions on the Zaporizhzhia front.

As a result of aerial reconnaissance and the use of unmanned systems, a number of enemy targets have been identified and hit. The unit's work continues around the clock.

11. The Group 13 special unit of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's Intelligence Directorate destroyed two S-400 launch systems and an antenna for controlling the"Orion drones in Crimea.

12/13. Ukrainian drones have attacked a facility in western Siberia’s Tyumen region, local authorities said Monday afternoon, with independent media reporting that russia’s largest petrochemical plant was struck.

Tyumen region Governor Alexander Moor confirmed that a fire broke out after several drones crashed into an industrial facility, though he did not identify the site by name. He also did not say whether there were any injuries.

Unverified reports suggested that drones targeted the ZapSibNeftekhim plant, part of the Sibur petrochemical giant in the city of Tobolsk, which is located around 2,200 kilometers (1,370 miles) from the border with Ukraine.

Videos shared on social media purportedly showed thick plumes of smoke rising above the petrochemical plant.

Because this plant accounts for roughly half of russia's total polymer production, breaking this specific unit severely disrupts their manufacturing chain for raw materials, which are also heavily utilized by the russian defense industry to create rocket propellants and artillery components.

Ukraine, which said it struck two russian oil refineries early on Monday, did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack in the Tyumen region.

14/15/16/17. Another Wildberries logistics hub was hit and set on fire in the Voronezh region last night. Also, an oil refinery in Orsk was hit.

18. An epic explosion of a fuel tanker that was hit in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

19. The 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade destroying occupiers at teh Lyman front.

20/21. An Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet caught fire and crashed in the Berezivka district of the Odesa Oblast. The pilot attempted to save the aircraft but lost control. He successfully ejected and has been evacuated to a medical facility. His life is not in danger.

The fighter jet was actively flying a combat mission to intercept and destroy russian aerial assets and UAV's over the region.

According to preliminary reports from the State Bureau of Investigation, a technical malfunction or "non-standard situation" occurred during the active launch of an air-to-air missile, causing the jet to catch fire.

The missile malfunctioned immediately upon leaving the rail, causing a major fire to ignite on the aircraft itself. This catastrophic fire spread fast, making the pilot completely lose control of the flight systems.

The telemetry and pilot records show that the fighter jet caught fire precisely at the moment the pilot triggered the release mechanism of his own air-to-air missile. The weapon suffered an abnormal delivery, meaning the missile's engine ignited but failed to cleanly detach from the wing rail, exploding or torching the underside of the fuselage.

The crash occurred in the Berezivka district of the Odesa Oblast, deep within southwestern Ukraine. This area is far out of range for standard russian ground-based air defense systems or tactical surface-to-air missiles stationed across the frontline.

Military radar logs monitoring the Odesa airspace did not detect any incoming enemy combat aircraft or high-velocity anti-aircraft missiles in the immediate vicinity of the MiG-29 when the emergency began.

Because the jet caught fire from its own weapons rack, the SBI opened a criminal case specifically under flight and pre-flight weapon preparation safety rules rather than treating it as a combat loss.

An official inquiry is underway to locate the aircraft's black box.
