Ukraine's counteroffensive has been brutal and slow. But Kyiv has many cards left to play
The footage is a grainy and disturbing. A Ukrainian soldier from the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center fights his way through a trench, apparently on the southern front, shooting Russian soldiers repeatedly at point-blank range. The dust kicked up adds to the sense of chaos, and the dense panic and brutality of this counteroffensive's start.

Bill Gates says Elon Musk was 'super mean' to him after failing to take him 'seriously'
They’re two of the richest men in the world, and Bill Gates and Elon Musk haven’t exactly seen eye to eye over the years. In fact, they’ve both played their part in a bizarre feud over recent times. Musk previously hit out at Gates in a strange slam slam last, comparing him to the pregnant man emoji, while Gates was also criticised by Musk after it was revealed that he was shorting Tesla’s stock. Now, Gates has claimed that Musk was “super mean” to him after finding out about his stock market move. It’s related to the release of Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Musk. Speaking about the pair’s disagreement to Isaacson, Gates said: "Once he heard I'd shorted the stock, he was super mean to me, but he's super mean to so many people, so you can't take it too personally.” Gates also claimed that he apologised for shorting Tesla stock, but things didn’t improve between the pair. It’s not the only revelation to come from the biography. According to Grimes, his on-off girlfriend, the tech mogul stayed up all night playing video games after putting the offer in for the app now known as X. Since purchasing Twitter last year, Musk has brought in a number of changes including making users pay for their verifying blue ticks and changing the name and logo to X. Meanwhile, Musk has also recently baffled fans of the popular game Warhammer 40,000 by seemingly borrowing from the title as the inspiration for his newest child's name: Techno Mechanicus.

Ukraine-Russia war live: Ace Ukrainian pilot nicknamed ‘Juice’ among 3 killed as combat jets collide mid-air
Ukraine has lost three military pilots, including a “mega talent” who wished to fly F-16s, after two L-39 combat training aircraft collided west of Kyiv, the air force said. The three men included Andriy Pilshchykov – callsign Juice – “a Ukrainian officer, one of those who greatly helped our state”, said Volodymyr Zelensky. Pilshchykov has been hailed as a “mega talent” and leader of reforms by Air force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat. This comes as an old interview of Russian Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin wherein he said he would rather be killed than lie to his country, and talked about a plane disintegrating in the sky has sparked a flood of online theorising about his presumed death. “Today we have reached the boiling point,” he said in the 40-second clip published on Grey Zone, Wagner’s Telegram channel. “Why am I speaking so honestly? Because I don’t have the right, before those people who will live on in this country. They are now being lied to. Better kill me.” The clip has been taken from an interview originally published on 29 April with a Russian military blogger.
