On Wednesday evening, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko said the Ukrainian army had established control over the Sudzha gas hub - a major gas facility involved in the transit of natural gas from Russia to the EU via Ukraine, which has continued despite the war. It is the only point of entry for Russian gas into the EU. 

Although this has not been verified by the BBC, Mr Honcharenko's comment was the first confirmation of an incursion into Russian territory by a Ukrainian official. Kyiv had previously not commented on reports of a cross-border attack.

Ten and a half. And that’s only if we discount Tuzla island dispute and continuous attempts to take control of politics and economy.

I'll never forget watching the live feed almost every night for weeks. Then Simon reporting from the front during the Russian invasion for Vice.

I remember a video interview with a Ukrainian soldier and a bomb fell near them, while still smoking a cigarette he just casually picks up a piece of hot shrapnel to show the camera and drops it like he was mildly annoyed about being interrupted.
