WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE UKRAINE KYIV - THE KYIV POST DAILY - It’s Thursday, July 30 2026.

 

It’s Thursday, July 30 A Russian missile flew into Poland and exploded. During another massive overnight strike across Ukraine, just hours after official warnings from Kyiv, an explosion also rocked a relatively quiet village in Poland as Warsaw scrambled fighter jets, with Poland’s Tusk confirming that it was a Russian Kh-101 missile that exploded in the country. But back in Ukraine, the major barrage killed over a dozen people – including a family of 10 whose son, serving in the military, only found out about it through a village group chat. The attack also raised more questions about shelter management after some locals in Kyiv were denied entry during the attacks due to overcrowding. As for other major updates from Ukraine, Fedorov has now accused the malignant power-that-be in arms procurement of leading to his dismissal, while parliament is set to consider a new bill to lower the VAT-free threshold for foreign parcels from €150 to €45.
