Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi said it is too early to speak of a turning point on the front, but Ukraine has liberated over 670 km² since the start of the year.

Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi said it is too early to speak of a turning point on the front, but Ukraine has liberated over 670 km² since the start of the year. He credited a campaign of exhausting Russian forces, increasing enemy losses, and disrupting offensive plans. Ukrainian forces now conduct about 45-50% of all daily offensive and assault actions, while Russian activity has declined.

Zelensky confirmed Ukrainian long-range strikes hit the Ufa refinery for the second time, calling it one of Russia’s largest lubricant producers and noting it sits more than 1,300 km from the front. He also confirmed a strike on a strategic Russian defense industry site in Penza, about 600 km away, which develops and produces components for missile weapons used against Ukrainian cities.

Ukrainian drones struck Penza, with geolocated footage indicating hits on JSC NIIFI, a Roscosmos-linked developer of pressure, motion, and measurement sensors used in Russian missiles and aircraft, including Iskander, Kh-101, Kh-59, Su-34, and Su-57 systems. The Mayak defense plant and a bearing plant were also reportedly attacked.

A black fungus feeds on radiation in Chernobyl.In the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl’s Reactor 4, scientists found an extraordinary black fungus, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, thriving in one of Earth’s most toxic environments. Rather than merely enduring radiation, this fungus seems to harness it through radiosynthesis—a process akin to photosynthesis but driven by gamma radiation, converting it into chemical energy. It’s among the rare organisms capable of this feat. Even more remarkable, when tested on the International Space Station, the fungus flourished, forming a biofilm that blocked up to 84% of cosmic radiation, hinting at its potential as a living radiation shield for astronauts. With radiation posing a major hurdle for deep-space missions to Mars and beyond, this self-regenerating biological layer could revolutionize spacecraft design by replacing heavy, bulky shielding. On Earth, researchers are exploring its use in bioremediation to detoxify radioactive sites too hazardous for humans, potentially transforming nuclear disaster recovery. As one scientist put it, “It’s like nature crafted a biological radiation shield.” From Chernobyl’s ruins to space, this humble fungus could help humanity thrive in the universe’s harshest environments.Science and facts💡
