7:36 am: Russians on vacation in Crimea
Alexandra Roumiantseva is sunbathing on a beach on the outskirts of Sevastopol and is trying to block from her mind the news of the Russian assault on Ukraine when, suddenly, a Russian fighter plane splits the sky.
"I can't say that we are totally relaxed," admits this 31-year-old woman, head of a charitable fund, who arrived from Saint Petersburg with her husband and two young sons.
“If we feel that things are going badly, we go back”.
Like her, thousands of Russians spend their holidays in the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, annexed in 2014 by Moscow and rear base of the Russian army on the offensive in Ukraine.
While teenagers jumping off rocks into the sea and bare-chested travelers with beer in hand and grilling over open fires lend an air of summer normality to this vacation spot, the reality is that the front isn't that far away.
300 or 400 km north of Sevastopol, fighting is a daily reality.
And this port city is home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet whose ships, deployed at sea, fire almost every day on Ukrainian territory.
Civilian air links to Crimea have also been suspended since the end of February, due to clashes nearby.
On the other side of the border, it is difficult for Ukrainians to consider such a beach holiday.
During the night of Monday to Tuesday, the seaside resort of Zatoka, near Odessa, was bombed.
If no death is to be deplored, the material damage is very important.

7:24 a.m.: First Russian train arrives in Kaliningrad via Lithuania
A first train, loaded with cement, arrived in Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave on the Baltic, on Tuesday after Brussels asked Lithuania to allow the transit of Russian goods by rail, regional governor Anton Alikhanov announced.
“It is indeed the first train to have arrived here after the EU decision on sanctions,” he said, quoted by the official TASS news agency, welcoming the “lifting of certain tensions in the building materials market”.
It is "a fairly significant success," he said.
Wedged between Poland and Lithuania, the territory of Kaliningrad is largely supplied by rail from mainland Russia.
In application of the EU sanctions decided in response to the Russian offensive against Ukraine, Vilnius no longer authorized since the second half of June the transit through Lithuanian territory of certain goods.
7:15 a.m .: Washington calls on kyiv to choose an attorney general capable of fighting corruption
The United States on Tuesday urged Ukraine to choose a credible attorney general to replace the recently fired one, calling for renewed efforts to fight corruption as kyiv otherwise tries to fend off Russian onslaught.
"We join the people of Ukraine in stressing the importance of a transparent appointment of a new, highly qualified and truly independent attorney general," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.
The fight against corruption is a long-standing issue for Ukraine, which must solve this problem before entering the European Union.
