First day in many years that I'm genuinely sad. I have extended family in both countries and the one in Russia vehemently refuses to believe the one in Ukraine is under attack and are in hiding. Russian TV literally playing a comedy on air at this time.

One of many ironic injustices of this war is that the ballistic missiles hitting the cities in Ukraine all come from the original designs (R-1 to R-7) by Sergey Korolev - the Soviet Ukrainian rocket engineer born in Zhytomir, same guy who put Gagarin to space
