It's Saturday. Day 45 of #Russia's apparent attempt to wipe #Ukraine and its people from the map.
There is no neutrality in such a conflict. If you pretend to be neutral you are condoning the targeting of civilians, the mass slaughter of women and kids.

For Russian speakers:
Nurlan Saburov is one of the best Russian speaking comics. Last night at a sell out gig in L.A., a heckler asked why he was silent on the war "Say you're against death. Why are you silent?"
"I have a family. I have my fears too.”

#Ukraine's Azov battalion clings on in #Mariupol'
But I hear credible news that Russia has almost complete control of the port area now, but Azovstal is still well fortified for Ukraine despite constant bombing.
It's a miracle, akin to the famed Cyborgs, how these guys hold out

The Kremlin must be worried about what its troops have done in #Irpin.
#Russia's Defence Ministry has gone out of its way today to say "Our forces left Irpin more than a week ago" alleging that #Ukraine is about to fake more war crimes there.

#Kyiv was saved when Russian troops were unable to get beyond #Irpin.
One of the big reasons was when #Ukraine's army sacrificed the town's bridge. Just over a week after the Russians retreated, the bridge will re-open tomorrow

#Russia media channels are still insisting the surrender of Ukrainian marines is genuine.
Now they've released a video they say shows two of those POWs are women. They name one as "Natasha from Vinnytsia"
However no documentation proving the ID of any of those "detained"

President Zelenskyy in a press conference earlier said #Russia has thrown 10,000 troops in the attempt to storm #Mariupol' and seize the city.
But another video from the Azov Battalion, this one appears to be from today, showing #Ukraine's army is still picking off RU equipment.

#Russian police have arrested a man in #Irkutsk - for reading poetry!
I don't even think it's a controversial poem - "The Stranger" by Aleksandr Blok, yet he's charged with extremism.
The man was detained as he tried to leave the park.

Great to see Boris taking time away from meetings today to see #Kyiv for himself.
The full video is too long for Twitter, so you'll have to click the link to see it for yourself.
The gratitude of the people is genuine and heartfelt. Ukrainians love Brits!

#Russia again claims #Ukraine has fired on the border post in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region.
I just find this impossible to believe - Ukraine gains nothing from such an attack.
I am sure it's purely to stoke a reaction domestically inside Russia.

Another Russian story which I judge as 🤥is that in a bid to save the warriors in #Mariupol' a dry-cargo ship was sent to secretly take them away from the besieged city.
Really? An unarmed boat in a sea full of huge warships. Russia says it fired at the ship and crew surrendered

Many reports of #Russia's army burning the bodies of civilian victims in #Mariupol' using mobile crematoria or, because there are too many to burn, burying in mass graves.
The Council released this photo which they say is common around the city - a collection point for corpses

Surely its' Russian crew didn't get drunk and just fall off the bridge?
