At night, the Russians launched a massive missile attack on the Lviv region. Our air defense managed to shoot down three missiles. As a result of the rocket attack, the railway infrastructure in the Yavoriv district was damaged. The place of the missile attack is located 20 km from the Polish border.

  *** As a result of the attack on Desna, 8 people died and 12 more were injured.

    ***Wounded fighters of the Azov regiment began to be taken out of the "Azovstal" plant in Mariupol. It is reported that they are being taken to the territory not controlled by Ukraine in the Donetsk region. More than 260 people have already been evacuated, about 50 of them are seriously injured.

 The Russians hit Odesa and Mykolaiv regions with missiles from airplanes. There are casualties and destruction of civil infrastructure. 4 people were injured, one of them a child. One car and tourist infrastructure were damaged.

**** The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that it has agreed to evacuate the wounded with representatives of the Ukrainian military blocked at Azovstal in Mariupol. Wounded soldiers are supposed to be taken to a hospital in Novoazovsk, a territory not controlled by Ukraine. Ukrainian officials do not comment on the information.

   *** In Rivne, there are huge queues of 100 or more cars at gas stations where there is gasoline.

   *** Two Russian sea mines were neutralized on the Odesa coast.

 For the first time since May 8, there was an air alarm at night. The Russians launched a missile attack on a military facility in the Lviv region. The news reported that the missiles were launched from submarines in the Black Sea. There is no information about the victims. Two missiles were shot down by our anti-aircraft defense, four missiles were destroyed by the object in the Yavoriv district.

 The Azov regiment reports that Russian troops are continuing their assault on the territory of the Azovstal plant.

  *** The Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian pontoon crossing and part of a Russian armored convoy during an attempt to cross a river in Donbas. The battalion-tactical group could be part of the Russian 74th separate motorized rifle brigade and lost about 50 units of armored vehicles out of 70.

 At early morning, I switch on PRIDE from WOG and saw that there is gasoline for sale at the gas station on the way out of the city, along the Kyiv-Chop highway. I immediately gone there. The line of cars was not very long. I was about 12th in the queue. In the PRIDE application, it was indicated that for one car you can buy 20 liters of A-95 gasoline. Ahead of me in the queue was an Audi-A5, in which there were two men. It seems to me that they poured 40 liters of fuel into the tank, instead of 20. Now, with all these restrictions, cars are refueled like this. When you drive up to the gas station one by one, the gas station attendant inserts the gas gun into the tank of the car. You go to pay at the cash register and after that they fill you car with gas. At the cash, your QR-code is scanned from a smartphone, according to which the next time, at another WOG gas station, you can to buy fuel after three hours, but no more than 3 times a day. Those two men from Audi went both to the cash desk, meaning they had two PRIDE apps on their smartphones. When they filled their tank with gasoline, they tipped the gas station attendant. It is possible that they also tipped the cashier to scan two QR-codes, supposedly two cars were filled. But this is just my guess only. 

        I bought gasoline at the price of UAH 39.57/liter. Paid UAH 791.4 hrn. In US dollars it will be $1.25/liter approximately $25.05US for 20 liters

 It is impossible to buy gasoline at gas stations. More precisely, cars are refueled using special coupons, but buying coupons is a problem if there are no acquaintances in that system.

       Our neighbor M. suggested that it is possible to buy gasoline at WOG gas stations if you install the PRIDE program from WOG on your smartphone.

 Closer to midnight, the Russians struck Odessa again. 7 rockets were fired from the planes, which hit the shopping center and warehouse of ready-made consumer goods. These objects were not related to military infrastructure, and were not warehouses of weapons or ammunition.

*** On May 9, US President Joe Biden signed the law on lend-lease military weapons for Ukraine. The last time a similar procedure was used during the Second World War.

*** Leonid Kravchuk (1934 - 2022), the first president of Ukraine, died. He was 88 years old.
