CTVNews.ca has some tips on how to catch the astronomical event. Fifty-one people were working to get the Hotel Saratoga ready for its scheduled reopening on Tuesday after a two-year pandemic break. Simone Tagliapietra, an energy expert at the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, said by email that the shutdown “illustrates the obvious risks of running energy infrastructures ” in wartime. A significant amount of Russian gas still flows through Ukraine to Western Europe, and it wasn't immediately clear how the shutdown might affect long-term supplies. It said Russia could reroute affected shipments through Ukraine's other main hub, Sudzha, in a northern part of the country controlled by Ukraine. In other developments, Ukraine's natural gas pipeline operator said it would stop Russian shipments through its Novopskov hub in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists. In recent weeks, grisly pictures testified to the horrors of those battles, with charred and mangled bodies strewn in one street. With Russian forces struggling to gain ground in the Donbas, military analysts suggest that hitting Odessa might serve to stoke concern about southwestern Ukraine, thus forcing Kyiv to put more forces there. Attempts to storm the plant also continued, it said. The Russian military has repeatedly targeted its airport and claimed it destroyed several batches of Western weapons. Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, who leads the Defence Intelligence Agency, told a Senate committee that because Russia lacks a noncommissioned officer corps, its generals have to go into combat zones and end up in dangerous positions. Ukraine's ability to stymie a larger, better-armed Russian military has surprised many who had anticipated a much quicker end to the conflict.

Russia-Ukraine war live updates: Missiles strike Odessa; Biden ... (The Washington Post)

The southern Ukrainian city is not under threat of a Russian offensive, the Pentagon said, while Kremlin advances in the Donbas region remain “anemic.”

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The latest: The southern Ukrainian city of Odessa was struck by a volley of Russian missiles on Monday evening, including three Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Odessa: At least four high-precision Onyx missiles struck Odessa, Ukraine’s military said Monday. The missiles were believed to have been launched from Russian-held Crimea, officials said. The fighters have vowed to continue their resistance “ as long as we are alive.” Biden administration officials last week sought to downplay or dispute those stories. Because the E.U. needs all member nations to agree on the measure, diplomats and officials have launched a persuasion campaign aimed at swaying Budapest and Bratislava. The annual Pulitzer Prizes seek to recognize the best in journalism, as well as books, drama and music. “There is no place in the world for executioners, punishers and Nazis,” he said. And instead, Putin is perverting history, changing history to try — or attempting to change it, I should say — to justify his unprovoked and unjustified war, which has brought catastrophic loss of life and immense human suffering.” A shopping center and a warehouse were struck by seven Russian missiles, while another three Kinzhal hypersonic missiles targeted “tourism infrastructure,” said Sergey Bratchuk, a spokesman for the Odessa regional military administration. Last month, the House voted 417 to 10 to pass a lend-lease bill that aims to expedite weapons shipments to Ukraine. Only a few weeks before, the Senate had passed it unanimously. Last Friday, Biden announced another drawdown aid package to Ukraine that included additional munitions and radar equipment.

Russia fires barrage of hypersonic missiles at Odesa after ... (CBC.ca)

A roundup of events on Day 76 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine: Ukraine's vital Black Sea port of Odesa came under repeated missile attack; the UN estimates ...

But a senior U.S. defence official said on Tuesday that the U.S. has seen no indication that any hypersonic missiles were fired at Odesa in recent days. Oleh Synehubov, the head of Kharkiv's regional administration, made the announcement Tuesday via a message on social media. But the fighting there has been a back-and-forth, village-by-village slog. "If we cannot export wheat, barley, sunflower, sunflower seed oil, then it means that people in North Africa and Asia will be lacking food and the prices will go up," Zelensky said. "We are using all possible diplomatic instruments to rescue them, but Russia doesn't allow for any of the proposed options," he said. Zelensky said Ukrainian cities and towns have been hit by 2,250 missiles over the two-and-a-half month invasion. One person was killed and five were wounded. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian official said that authorities have found the bodies of 44 civilians in the rubble of a building in Izyum that was destroyed by Russia in March. Russia has been holding Izyum, an eastern Ukrainian city in the Kharkiv region, as a key front-line node. However, others said that was impossible to confirm. According to the latest update from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, 3,381 civilians have been killed and 3,680 injured in Ukraine since the invasion began at 4 a.m. on Feb. 24. "The bombardment doesn't stop, neither during the day, nor the night," he said. Ukrainian official say the bodies of 44 civilians have been found in the rubble of a building destroyed weeks ago in the northeastern city of Izyum.

A significant amount of Russian gas still flows through Ukraine to Western Europe, and it wasn’t immediately clear how the shutdown might affect long-term supplies. It said Russia could reroute affected shipments through Ukraine’s other main hub, Sudzha, in a northern part of the country controlled by Ukraine. In recent weeks, grisly pictures testified to the horrors of those battles, with charred and mangled bodies strewn in one street. In other developments, Ukraine’s natural gas pipeline operator said it would stop Russian shipments through its Novopskov hub in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists. With Russian forces struggling to gain ground in the Donbas, military analysts suggest that hitting Odesa might serve to stoke concern about southwestern Ukraine, thus forcing Kyiv to put more forces there. Ukraine alleged at least some of the munitions used dated to the Soviet era, making them unreliable in targeting. The Russian military has repeatedly targeted its airport and claimed it destroyed several batches of Western weapons. In recent days, the United Nations and Red Cross organized a rescue of what some officials said were the last civilians trapped at the plant. Attempts to storm the plant also continued, it said. Lt.

As the invading Russian forces shift their priority to the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, the port hub of Odesa remains one of the war’s major targets. “While seeking strategic targets, obsolete missiles managed to hit an ‘extremely dangerous’ shopping center and a warehouse for consumer goods,” military spokeswoman Natalya Gumenyuk wrote on Facebook, as per Newsweek. Russian forces have previously targeted shopping centers, including one in Kyiv, that they claimed were being used as outposts or firing positions by Ukrainian troops. The Ukrainian government reported that a shopping center and warehouse were targeted by a Russian missile strike.

Hypersonic Missiles Used In Russian Attack On Civilian Targets In ... (KFI AM 640)

The missiles can be launched from MiG-31 fighter jets and are nearly impossible to shoot down, even with advanced missile defense systems.

"If before the war Odesa was around 40% pro-Russian, now it's 90% pro-Ukrainian," Sergey Steblina, a local designer, told Newsweek. "I'm not going anywhere, and most of the people I know who evacuated in March are still planning to come back." The continued bombardment of Odesa has turned many people in the city against Russia. "These strikes did not achieve any military aim," Odesa native Oleksiy Honcharnko told Newsweek. "Maybe it will scare off some of the citizens who were planning to return to their homes, but strategically speaking, it changes nothing."

Oleh Synehubov, the head of Kharkiv's regional administration, made the announcement Tuesday via a message on social media. But the fighting there has been a back-and-forth, village-by-village slog. In Mariupol, Russians bombarded the Azovstal steel mill, the Azov regiment said, targeting the sprawling complex 34 times in the past 24 hours. "If we cannot export wheat, barley, sunflower, sunflower seed oil, then it means that people in North Africa and Asia will be lacking food and the prices will go up," Zelensky said. "We are using all possible diplomatic instruments to rescue them, but Russia doesn't allow for any of the proposed options," he said. However, others said that was impossible to confirm. Zelensky said Ukrainian cities and towns have been hit by 2,250 missiles over the two-and-a-half month invasion. The regiment is a far-right armed group that was folded into Ukraine's National Guard after Russia's first invasion in 2014. One person was killed and five were wounded. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian official said that authorities have found the bodies of 44 civilians in the rubble of a building in Izyum that was destroyed by Russia in March. Russia has been holding Izyum, an eastern Ukrainian city in the Kharkiv region, as a key front-line node.
