Russia launches its first mission to the moon in nearly 50 years

Good, any rocket going to the moon can't hit Ukraine.

Russia's Luna-25 will deploy a lunar lander, due to touch down on August 21st at the Moon's South Pole which will be a first for space exploration.

Last month, India's Chandrayaan-3 launched also targeting the south pole but with a rover and a slightly later touchdown date (23rd August).
