Friday's daily thread on #PutinsWar starts here.

It's Day 58 of the illegal war since #Russia launched its illegal full invasion in of #Ukraine. Yet still only one real city gained - #Kherson. The hemmed in fighters of #Mariupol' are still holding out.

All the news, all day⬇️

The morning update from UK MoD intelligence sums things up. They confirm the news I brought in yesterday's thread with video of some #Russia soldiers leaving #Mairupol'

But something else unplanned, costly in time and rubles, sending damaged equipment home for repair

Y'day some 200 evacuees fled from #Mariupol, but further attempts to remove civilians were thwarted

But today NO 'Green Corridors' anywhere in #Ukraine "due to dangers on routes" said Deputy PM Iryna Vereshchuk. "To all those waiting to be evacuated: be patient, please hold on!"

🚨In the midst of wars and global crises, European governments are driving us deeper into fossil fuel addiction by cutting fuel taxes to lower prices at the petrol pump.

A thread ⤵️🧵

#StopFuellingWar

What curbing fuel prices and general VAT reductions on petrol/diesel really mean:

🚨Deeper fossil fuel dependency
🌎A devastating impact on the climate
⚠️Social inequalities increasing
💶Favouring wealthier households

So what should governments do?

📝Social & climate support payments for low-income households
🚨Introduce measures to reduce oil consumption
💶Tax companies profiting from rising oil prices
🌎Invest revenue from taxes to boost rail & public transport
