A brief Rosie update: She is continuing to have a good appetite back and is eating and more active. So the week off and what we’re doing in terms of stabilizing her is working.

Here’s the damage to the Novaposhta facility in Odesa:

Ось такий у нас сьогодні ранок в Одесі.

У депо та відділенні разом було 904 відправлення на майже 3 млн грн. Аби компенсувати вартість ваших посилок і вантажів, ми вже з самого ранку вам дзвонимо.

Рашистською ракетою було знищено не тільки наше депо та відділення, а і 15.5 тонн… pic.twitter.com/1E1dF9pd4o

Here’s the machine translation of Novaposhta’s tweet:

This is how we have this morning in Odessa.

The depot and the branch together had 904 shipments worth almost UAH 3 million. In order to compensate for the cost of your parcels and cargo, we call you from the very morning.

The rashist rocket destroyed not only our depot and branch, but also 15.5 tons of your orders from online stores with clothes, appliances, children’s toys, goodies for 🐾 , medicines, parcels with care for relatives, etc. 😔

And according to the enemy’s version, weapons were stored here. No words, alone 🤬

I guarantee you this wasn’t an accident. Novaposhta had recently been in the news for opening new locations in different EU member states.

• AIN reminds that Nova Poshta opened 89 offices in Estonia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Romania, Germany, Slovakia, Italy, Hungary, and Moldova.

From The Kyiv Independent:

Russian forces attacked nine border areas and settlements of Sumy Oblast on May 2, firing 40 times and causing at least 215 explosions, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported.

The communities of Mykolaivka, Khotin, Miropillia, Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Velyka Pysarivka, Esman, Seredyna-Buda, and Novo Sloboda were targeted.

No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure were reported.

The Russian military struck the communities using artillery fire, AGS attacks, FPV drones, and mortar shelling, while also dropping mines.

The town of Miropillia experienced the most attacks, with 54 explosions recorded in the area. Miropillia, located about five kilometers from the Ukraine-Russian border, frequently comes under attack.

Residents in Sumy Oblast have been experiencing daily threats of shelling, but attacks have intensified in recent weeks, prompting large-scale evacuations from the region.
