Sent from my phone, forgive typos.

Bucha, Vozel, Hostomel, Makariv, Ivankiv, and Borodyanka have been liberated by Ukrainian forces.

All except Ivankiv were liberated without a fight. Ukrainian troops are at Antonov Airbase in Hostomel. The M07 highway is reopened.

Russian troops retreating to Belarus are now forced to use a pontoon bridge near Orane, at the edge of the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Surrounded Russian troops in Velyka Dymerka were pushed out, as were the Russian troops east of Boryspil.

The southern route to Chernihiv has been reopened, ending the encirclement of the city.

The Russian supply column extending west from Sumy has collapsed and is in disarray. Ukrainian forces appear to moving through soft spots, slicing the columns into groups.

Russia has declared a state of emergency in the western regions, and announced drastic fuel rationing after the airstrike on Belgorod.

Russian citizens in Belgorod panic bought fuel, water, and groceries. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was asked direct questions from Russia state media. How could this have happened if the Ukrainian Air Force is destroyed and Russia has uncontested air superiority?

Peskov said it wasn't his place to provide an "analysis."
