This is the start of the daily thread for Day 151 of the Russian full scale invasion of #Ukraine.
Two big talking points yesterday concerning #Odesa and #Donetsk and the arguments continue.
News & analysis throughout the day.
Read, comment, share!

I have to start with news of yet more missiles landing in #Mykolaiv this morning.
Two separate attacks yesterday destroying universities and homes in #Nikolaev, and two people were injured.
Now a fresh Russian raid with 5 powerful explosions reported.

2/2
Mayor of #Mykolaiv Oleksandr Sienkovych has not released further details yet about this morning's damage or any casualties. Rescue services are on site.
CCTV caught the moment of impact.
#Nikolaev #Ukraine #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Following yesterday's cruise missile attack on #Odesa, #Turkiye's Defence Minister last night announced that he's spoken to both #Ukraine and #Russia
Moscow claimed it was "not involved and investigating the issue"
Ukraine has confirmed systems for loading grain are not damaged
Reports of two rockets landing in #Chuhuiv (RU: #Chuguev) in #Kharkiv/#Kharkov region overnight.
No further details yet.
More shelling overnight too in occupied #Donetsk.
This video was shot in the Kirovskyi district near the centre.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A few banks still actively working in #Russia and therefore supporting the war crimes and murder of #Ukraine's people.
24tv in Ukraine reports Citi, @RBI_Presse, Intesa Sanpaolo and @UniCredit Group "couldn't leave", but now some are even recruiting new employees.
Interesting to see the Study of War joining me in predicting a counter offensive in the south in the near future.
#KhersonIsUkraine #StopRussia
Exiled Mayor of #Melitopol posted these photos from the town this morning.
Ivan Fedorov says this "mystery" happened overnight.
More supply problems for #Russia in the occupied region.
#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
First light has let locals see what happened in #Khrustalnyi (RU: #KrasnyiLuch in the early hours.
A hotel was smashed by high precision artillery, presumably HIMARS. It was well known that Russian troops were using the hotel as a barracks.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Explosions in the west #Ukraine city of #Khmelnitskyi this morning.
The mayor initially said air defence was working well, implying all missiles had been taken down.
But now a column of smoke is rising. Maybe caused by debris, or one missile sneaked through.
#StopRussia
This was #NovayaKakhovka this morning.
Looks like #Ukraine found another target in the occupied town.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
#Bakhmut has been on the frontline for a while. The bombardment continues ahead of an expected ground push by #Russia.
The writing on the demolished building says "this is your school"
#Donetsk #StandWithUkraine
Turns out that #Turkiye earned decent commission brokering the "grain deal"
@DailySabah is reporting the Turkish govt will be able to purchase grain transported by sea, at prices below world prices.
Is that ethical? Did UN know?
Politico reports fighters from #Canada and #Sweden also died in the #Donbas this week. They also name the two Americans, who it seems, were killed by #Russia in the same attack.

Air raid warning for #Kyiv
#StandWithUkraine
British MoD update highlights one of the more obvious Russian lies.
If #Russia takes these areas it will announce an expansion to #Odesa and the whole of the south. And then central #Ukraine and #Kyiv.
Never forget Putin wants to remove Ukraine from the map.
Heavy losses for #Russia over the last 24 hours, #Ukraine says.
14 tanks destroyed - well above the daily average, while 280 troops killed, also significantly above the recent average.
#StandWithUkraine #StopPutin
Two civilians thought to have died in Ukraine controlled #Donetsk villages in the last 24 hours.
Avdiyivka, Bakhmut, Toretsk, Kostyantynivka, Kurakhove, Hostre, Kurdyumivka, Vesele and Kamianka all came under shelling from #Russia.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Oooh - #Ukraine's finest
Three days to wait.
Looks emotional guys @okeanelzy
#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Very clever!
Being shared (carefully) by some in #Russia and many in #Ukraine over the last few days.
The original was apparently seen on a wall in St Petersburg.
#StopPutin #SaveUkraine
#Russia formally admits the strikes on #Odesa
FM spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova says "Caliber missiles destroyed the military infrastructure of the #Odessa port, sending a Ukrainian military boat to the address beloved by the Kyiv regime with a precision strike."
#Ukraine's security service releases a video, overlaid with an intercepted phone call.
A Russian soldier tells his mum (rough translation) "the guys were watching a movie in their tank when they just bombed them with a drone. 15 are Cargo 200 (dead)"

Fairly predictable. #Italy's companies leading the way in financing #Russia's war crimes.
#Netherlands, #France, #Germany could do better too.
#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
💯% 👏👏👏
The USA is seriously considering labelling #Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
@USAmbKyiv Bridget Brink made the statement in this interview.

A big fire in #Darivka (RU: #Daryevka) in #Kherson region. This is where Ukraine hit a bridge over the River Inhulets yesterday.
Today it seems only fields are burning.
Still in #Kherson oblast...
A well-known UA journalist reports explosions in #Kakhovka. Oleh Baturin only refers to broken windows and no news on any potential target.
#SaveUkraine #StopRussianAggression
#Donetsk is getting noisy again.
This has just been uploaded to social networks with a number of similar videos from the occupied city.
#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Ukraine held #Kostiantynivka suffered a big blow early this morning.
CCTV footage has just been released of the moment a Russian missile smashed in to a building in the town.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Interesting investigation published by The Insider earlier. They tell how Russian contractors who refuse to fight after the 3 months they signed up for, are initially locked up in #Luhansk, then forced to go to the front anyway.

#Russia lost another Su-25 attack jet today.
That's according to #Ukraine's military which says paratroopers downed the aircraft with MANPADS.

Authorities in #Khmelnytskyi say all four Caliber cruise missiles were hit by air defence early today.
It's now known #Russia fired four missiles from the Black Sea on the city in west #Ukraine.
Air raid warnings sounding in many areas of #Ukraine right now including #Kyiv.
There are reports of explosions in #Dnipropetrovsk region.
#StopRussia
#Ukraine has lost one of its most successful Commanders. Vitaliy Gulyaev died from rocket fire in the #Mykolaiv region yesterday.
The commander of the 28th brigade, stopped #Russia's advance in the south, pushing them back in #Mykolaiv and #Kherson.

This is the scene in #Dnipro tonight.
Two explosions reported so far, with a large fire reported at one of the sites.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Dnipro update:
Early reports are that the fire in #Dnipropetrovsk region may have happened after missiles were brought down by air defence.
#StandWithUkraine
#Dnipropetrovsk region
A clearer photo of the fire after the explosions.
Exact location not allowed to be released yet.
All information so far is unofficial.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine isn't alone in having problems with wildfires right now, but a whole lot of separate blazes have broken out in #Kherson region during the evening.
They appear unrelated to missile attacks. In the current situation regarding grain it's an added problem.
This is how things are going in occupied #Kherson.
There's been no-one serving at the McDonald's drive through for ages!
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Conflicting stories in #Zaporizhzhia tonight...
Most semi official channels in the city are not reporting any strikes. But some have published this photo claiming a rocket landed.
So, nothing confirmed right now...
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussianAggression
And #Russia's air defence has been busy in #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevka), which is right next to #Donetsk.
No confirmation yet of whether any rockets landed.
UPDATE:
The missiles launched on #Dnipropetrovsk tonight appear to be on the town of #Nikopol' again and surrounding areas near the river.
Officials say no injuries and no major damage.
"No panic" says Mayor of Nikopol Yevheni Yevtushenko
The Head of #Zaporizhzhia says there have not been any missiles/rockets landing in the city tonight.
It looks like #Ukriane's air defences have worked well again.
