New day, new thread with updates about Russian military invasion in Ukraine.

Today would be the 5th day of the war.

There are tons of news on Twitter already, but I feel compelled to share the most notable updates that I'm seeing in Ukrainian news outlets.

#UkraineUnderAttack

Today Ukrainian delegation will be having negotiations with the Russians.

They'll meet at Belarussian border. (Russians are already there waiting, Ukrainians are on the way.)

Somehow I'm pretty sure that Russians will have some utterly ridiculous demands.

But we'll see...

One of the officials in Ukrainian delegation is Davyd Arakhamia, who I happen to know personally.

(He co-founded TemplateMonster, where I used to work at some point.)

The guy is super smart and I have zero doubts in his negotiation skills. 💪

Wish them luck. 🙏

My absolute favourite boxer @VasylLomachenko has joined the territorial defence forces in his hometown Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyi.

Did you see any world-class athletes or celebrities among Russian invaders? I didn't.

This is my hometown Mykolaiv.

According to the official information by local police this looter has "acidentally" took his pants off and taped himself to a pillar.

These things can happen if you try to loot during a war ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"The negotiations will either go in the right 🇺🇦 direction, or in the same direction as russian military ship."

In case you missed the story, here's a refresher of what "the same direction as russian military ship" means:

Yet another case of Ukrainian civilians not letting Russian tanks pass through. This time in Zaporizhzhia.

Putin, what were you thinking?

#StopRussia #StopPutler

Ukrainians using (Turkish-made 🇹🇷) Bayraktars to destroy Russian war machines near Zhytomyr.

And Russian propaganda will keep telling its people that there are no deaths among Russian military.

Russian propagandist:
- "If you're ashamed of being russian right now, don't worry, you're not russian"

Vitalik Buterin (Russian-born Canadian):
- "Go f#ck yourself"

There's some information circulating in the news that Ukrainians in Russia are visited by the police and being interrogated.

It seems like Putin is afraid that Ukrainian people in Russia may stir the pot, so he's trying to intimidate them.

F#cking Put-ler!! #StopPutin

Somehow my today's thread started quite optimistically.

And while Ukraine IS quite successfull in resisting the russian aggression, things are not all well and shiny.

This massive rocket attack is happening in Kherson region, which is just ~70km away from my own hometown:

Early morning in my hometown Mykolaiv.

And it is still Ukrainian! 🇺🇦💪

Ukrainian students in a bombshelter keeping their spirits high!

Ukraine-Russia negotiations have begun.

🤞

Meanwhile, the city of Kharkiv is being shelled from "BM-21 Grad" rocket launchers.

My friend says it's a residential area 😰

Another one from Kharkiv.

Whoever was driving got INCREDIBLY lucky.

This is (or rather WAS) the school №134 in Kharkiv.

It drives me mad that some egotistic 70-year old grandpa can cause so much death and destruction.

What kind of sociopath should you be to bear responsiblilty for all that?

#StopPutin #PutinWarCriminal #PutinHitler

The negotiations between Ukraine and Russia just ended.

The results haven't been announced yet.

🤞

Oh man... looks like the negotiantions aren't over yet.

The third round is about to begin.

Hope our guys have enough mental toughness and clarity to create a proper opposition. ✊

The negotiations ended..

But no agreements were made.

Both delegations are now returning to their HQs to thoroughly analyze the terms and they will be back for another round of negotiations.

This concludes my daily thread.

The next one is here:
