Vladimir Putin says there is no "war" in Ukraine.

➡️First-hand footage posted on social media suggests otherwise
🌐Using open source investigation methods, @Telegraph has collected data from online posts on Twitter, Telegram and Reddit to plot where shelling, gunfire and troop movements are most likely to have taken place
What the map has detected so far

🔴On the second day of the invasion, the data tracks the path taken by Russian troops as they prepared to launch their siege on Kyiv Image
In recent days, the data also shows the Russian advance towards the key port of Odessa; first in taking control of the city of Kherson and then by launching an assault on Mykolaiv Image
How the data was collected

🗺️Data for this map has been gathered from a selection of users, channels and subforums
@alex_jay_clark collected posts going back to the beginning of the invasion and are collecting new posts every hour
📍@TelegraphData are representing the reports as a heatmap, with counts mapped at the location of the city or town involved
Can you track a war in real time? Take a look at the project from @TelegraphData here 👇

🔴When Lieutenant Colonel Maxim Krishtop, a captured Russian pilot, was paraded before TV cameras in Kyiv on Friday afternoon, he gave much more than his name, rank and number
💬Shot down during a bombing raid last Sunday, Krishtop confessed to dropping tons of bombs on civilian areas.

He begged Ukrainians forgive him for his “terrible crimes”
He then issued an appeal to his Russian comrades now encircling Kyiv - where he himself is currently a prisoner of war.

🗣️“The invasion of such a huge city as Kyiv is pointless - it will lead to huge losses of life on both sides, and huge destruction,” he said Image

Who’s behind the Buzzer? The chilling mystery of Russia’s ‘ghost’ radio station.

Is it sending messages to sleeper agents? Broadcasting to the military? Or simply pumping out static?

@AHABDiggins searches for the truth about UVB-76

Thread 👇🧵
telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-to-…
📻The shortwave radio station UVB-76 – otherwise known as “the Buzzer” – has baffled and chilled shortwave enthusiasts since it was first detected in the early 1980s
🇷🇺Usually it’s just a slur of static. But occasionally there is a barrage of apparently-random Russian words and numbers:

“Ya UVB-76, Ya UVB-76. 180 08 BROMAL 74 27 99 14. Boris, Roman, Olga, Mikhail, Anna, Larisa. 7 4 2 7 9 9 1 4.”

The move follows criticism of the Home Office's "chaotic" rollout of its scheme for Ukrainian refugees with family in the UK, which has led to delays and complaints of excessive bureaucracy Image
Western officials on Thursday warned that the number of refugees fleeing Ukraine could rise as high as four million in the coming days, almost doubling current estimates of 2.2 million Image
