Today is not only Quarter Finals day at the world cup for #England (I have my fingers crossed for no power cuts 9pm-midnight here in #Kyiv)..
It's also Day 290 of #Russia's full invasion and unprovoked attack on #Ukraine
Here's the link for Friday's news
Yesterday the #USA announced that #Russia and #Iran have made a deeper agreement.
Today the daily update from the #UK Defence Intelligence picks up on the matter:
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The number of #Russia's soldiers remains quite high if you actually think about the waste, the grieving families. However the totals this week well down on the peak figures.

I must say thank you to Judith for buying me a coffee, and indeed breakfast. I'll certainly be buying my coffee in #Borodianka or #Bucha today as I am heading there to film and speak to locals.
Busy schedule, will update when I can.
Here's a pics from yesterday in #Sumy oblast.
Thousands more are without electricity this morning in #Odesa after (RU #Odessa) a drone hit power infrastructure.
15 more of the #Iran made kamikaze UAVs were launched by #Russia on targets in the south of #Ukraine, but 10 were shot down.

New photos from #Hostomel on the outskirts of #Kyiv. Many forgot about the horrors seen here too.
Some of the fiercest fighting took place here in the opening days of the war as battle for control of the airport here was crucial.

#Borodianka today.
They started pulling down the iconic, destroyed tower blocks.

I just heard that there's a blaze in #Moscow at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
Big shout-out to @DianeLBW and @intelSkunk for their support and generosity. Very much appreciated.
Now speaking to a well known economist who lives under occupation in #Kyiv.
Back in the apartment after a very wet and emotional day around #Kyiv region. No alcohol can be sold after 7pm under Martial Law, and I just beat the clock so I watch #ENGFRA with a beer from #Ukraine.
Was going to watch in a bar, but curfew 2 hours after kick-off ruined that.
Catching up with some of the news; first thanks to my favourite Vulcanologist @CarolynnePries1 who spotted this story about a fire in a barracks on #Crimea.
Many 100s of newly mobilised recruits were in the building in the village of #Sovetsky. Obviously, no comment from #Russia
Congratulations to #Ukraine's Centre for Civil Liberties, joint winners of the #NobelPeacePrize. They were rewarded at the official ceremony today.
@avalaina said "The Russian people will bear responsibility for this shameful page of their history."
Earlier I went to Mikhailivska Square and n #Kyiv for the obligatory look at the destroyed Russian equipment. It will feature in my investigation and report later this month.
#StandWithUkraine
Explosions heard over #Crimea.
#Russia's Head of the Occupied territory says air defence is working.

Big fire in occupied #Melitopol tonight.
The is "Hunter's" restaurant near the centre. The up-market place is a favourite of the elite, especially traitor Balitskyi, #Russia's head of the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia, who celebrated Putin's birthday there.
#RussiansGoHome
Also in #Melitopol'...
Just the other side of the town centre to where the fire at "Hunter's" is, it seems #Ukraine has struck another Russian military base.
The Refma plant has been hit before and is still used by #Russia
#RussiansGoHome

It stinks!
Please let companies like @backaldrin know what you think of them and their blood money. Retweet, write and boycott.
The state of #Bakhmut
Before #Russia's "peacekeepers" entered, it was a peaceful, flourishing town in #Donetsk, proud to be #Ukraine.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reliable pro-#Ukraine Telegram channel RIA-Melitopol reports about 200 Russians were hit in this attack.
They're being transferred to hospitals in Crimea.
Yet another big strike on #Russia's forces in occupied territory tonight.

The area around the planetarium and bus station was badly damaged.
