Let's get Day 147 underway.
Almost 5 months since #PutinsWar on #Ukraine began and I've been documenting everything since I was in #Kyiv just before the first bombs dropped.

If you like the free, handy daily threads and can afford to buy me a coffee, please see my profile page.

Impossible to verify, but #Ukraine's 58th Motorise Infantry Brigade says it wiped out an entire group of #Russia's Wagner military contractors.

The General Staff would only say this happened "on the front line" and published photos of the badges and some Russian bodies:

Each evening almost a constant stream of missiles from #Russia heading in to #Ukraine.

These were sent to #Belgorod to #Kharkiv region.

Remember USA will supply more weapons, yet🇺🇦 cannot use them to hit the rocket launchers in Russia. Why?

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Details are emerging about the "grain" talks between #Putin and #Erdogan in Tehran.

Putin spoke of progress thanks to #Turkiye's President. But that's not true.

#Russia will only allow #Ukraine to release food from its ports if US drops sanctions on🇷🇺grain exports

photo:TASS

#Belarus guilty of what amounted to hijacking a Ryanair jet.

The final report has been published and of course #Russia tried to block some facts emerging.

If you write ANYTHING sympathetic about Russia remember you are condoning terrorism. Simple.

The British update reflects on the importance of yesterday's bombing of the Antonivskyy Bridge in #Kherson.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussiaNOW

Another 200 regular #Russian army troops have died on the killings fields on #Ukraine in the last 24 hours. All for the ego of a very small man in Moscow.

Also an unusually high 10 drones were downed yesterday.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

There's now a video supposedly showing how a unit of #Russia's Wagner mercenaries was recently wiped out in east #Ukraine.

#Ukraine has hit the #Antonivskyy bridge in #Kherson for the second time in two days.

However traffic is still able to cross despite the strike, but military vehicles are not being risked by #Russia.
Repair work is already underway by the occupiers.

#StandWithUkraine

Still in #Kherson, it seems there's a lot of concern from the occupiers.

Loads of equipment and military on the move, more checkpoints, stringent checking of all electronic equipment (phones, tablets) and reportedly electronic surveillance via mobile networks.

#StopRussia

Meanwhile, more and more examples of #Russia burning crops in #Ukraine.

The new #Holodomor continues. Food is a weapon for Putin.

In recent days, more than 230 hectares of wheat was destroyed in the Berislav and Henichesk districts of #Kherson.

But, #Turkiye's President says he expects a deal on the export of grain from #Ukraine in days.

Erdogan "I have several times discussed this issue with Mr Putin + Mr Zelenskyy. Last week in Istanbul, an agreement was reached under the UN plan. This week we want a written text/"

⚡️Breaking⚡️

Unconfirmed - explosions reported near the nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar.

According to residents, thick black smoke rises
A state #Russia news agency just published this video

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia #Energodar #Zaporizhzhia

My information is that the Nuclear Power Plant has NOT been hit. Some locals in #Enerhodar say there was a military base a little behind the plant.

#Russia is reporting Ukraine drones are attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear facility.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

There are already suspicions that the whole "attack" in #Enerhodar may be a fake, a provocation.

Already Russian channels share this video, showing "how close #Ukraine was to causing a nuclear catastrophe" - errr... not exactly convincing "proof"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

One more photo showing the smoke close to the nuclear power station in #Zaporizhzhia region.

This is in occupied #Enerhodar (RU: #Energodar)

#SaveUkraine #StopPutinsWar

#Russia's authorities in #Belgorod say a 64 year old has been killed in shelling.

The mayor of the area says the villages of Zhuravlevka & Nekhoteevka were hit by 5 shells fired from #Ukraine.

4 houses were slightly damaged.
No photos/videos, and again why would🇺🇦 fire there?

A school has been hit in occupied #Donetsk city today.

The occupiers claim a man has died in the Petrovsky district, during the same round of shelling which hit the school.

##StopRussia #RussianGoHome

In the free part of #Donetsk, the town of #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka) has come under heaving shelling today.

Here's the scene after #Russia's attack.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

#EU has approved the 7th round of sanctions on #Russia.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState

1/2

#Ukraine telegram channel uaonlii has obtained three videos from occupiers, showing HIMARS destroying Russian warehouses.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

2/3

uaonlii channel is not saying where or when the videos were taken - the person who leaked this will of course be wanted by #Russia.

#HIMARS #StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW

3/3

The last of the videos showing the work of #HIMARS destroying #Russia's positions and stores somewhere in occupied #Ukraine.

Four more HIMARS are due to be sent by the USA soon.

#StandWithUkraine️ #GoHomeRussians #StopRussia

Russian puppets in #Donetsk report Shirokaya Balka in #Horlivka came under attack from helicopters.

The choppers were reported to have flown at low altitude and fired 30 rockets on the occupied city.

Awaiting photos/videos

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Just managed to find a video of the scene in #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka) where #Russia claims the city was smashed by 30 missiles fired from #Ukraine helicopters.

#StopRussia #RussiaGoHome #SaveUkraine

To be honest there seems very little damage is two helicopters really did release 30 rockets on to #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka).

Even pro-Russia sites are just listing damage to a few small houses in different districts of the city which is in the occupied part of #Donesk.

It still sounds lively in #Horlivka/#Gorlovka this evening

Occupied #Donetsk
#Ukraine #StopRussia

Despite the fact that the explosions in #Enerhodar earlier didn't seem to land in the ground of the Nuclear Power Plant, I am surprised to learn the occupiers claim 11 employees were wounded, four seriously🤔

#StandWithUkraine

Photos released by #Russia's army channel show reported damage close to the Power Plant in #Enerhodar, in #Zaporizhzhia region.

I cannot definitively say if this is in the grounds or not. Perhaps it was, perhaps it was being used by the army not employees of the plant.

Saboteurs claim they've derailed two more trains in #Russia as they bid to de-rail the #PutinsWar.

#1: Chekhov near #Moscow. The line is exclusively used for freight traffic according to the saboteurs.

#2: #Krasnoyarsk near #Lesosibirsk station.
A 31-car cement train derails.

If you have any questions about the war, I will be available online on Friday for The @Independent.
Catch me live between 2-3pm answering anything to do with Russia's invasion of #Ukraine. The link will be up tomorrow for you to leave your questions in advance and I'll post here

Possibly another "hit" for #HIMARS in #Kherson oblast

This is how the coastal town of #Skadovsk looks right now

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#Russia active again, especially in #Kharkiv oblast.

Reported explosions in the city itself as well as Chuhuiv and Zmiyev.

Shelling also in Marinka and near #Nikopol, where two citizens died earlier in the day in a previous attack.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

#Ukraine has agreed a deal with #Russia and the #UN which should see grain leaving three Ukrainian ports, #Odesa, #Pivdennyi and #Chornomorsk

Safe corridors will allow civilian ships, but NOT Russian, to reach these ports safely.
Let's see if Russia honours its pledge.

#Ukraine confirms the attack on #Enerhodar, but refutes hitting the nuclear power plant.

Presidential spokesman Oleskiy Arestovych hinted they took out equipment which had been shelling #Nikopol from next to the NPP. He also says a large number of Russian personnel were killed.

I'll end Wednesday's thread with another positive story and short video.

This comes from #Mariupol where the exiled city adviser, Petro Andrushchenko, says resistance is growing and #Ukraine flags are being stuck all over the city.

dobroi nochi vsim!💙💛
