Welcome to Wednesday, and daily thread #126 on #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.

More death and destruction overnight from Russian missiles, but remember barbaric attacks like on #Kremenchuk are NOT mistakes. They are targeted terror attacks on a peaceful nation.

Read on...
Three dead, five injured so far in another cowardly attack by #Russia on a residential building in #Mykolaiv.

The usual terror tactics, soft targets. Civilians very much in the Russian army sights with each missile.
Each one a war crime and so far no justice as killing continues ImageImageImageImage
In case you missed it last night, another of #Russia's pathetic defences over the #Kremenchuk massacre is "but there's no video of the hit"

There is: here's a still of the giant missile about to kill dozens - video in the link.

I am rather surprised to see the British MoD giving #Russia an excuse for its terrorist activities.

Strange how so many of these "accidental" misguided strikes hit big civilian targets in #Ukraine isn't it?

Explosions heard in #Dnipropetrovsk
Two women injured by #Russia's nightly shelling of #Kharkiv.

They were residents of this block in the Shevchenko district of the city.

Update on #Russia's war losses, according to #Ukraine Image
As #Russia continues to make small advances inside #Lysychansk, the governor of #Luhansk reports usual tactics from the terrorists.

"As in Severodonetsk, they go from house to house (bombing)" said Serhiy Haidai.

A BBC investigation proves illegal cluster munitions were used in the #Ukraine city of #Chernihiv.

Yet more bombs falling on #Kharkiv.

Power has been cut in some parts of the city.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine #Kharkov
The industrial area of #Kharkiv has been hit.

No reports yet of damage/casualties etc.

#UkraineUnderAttaсk #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's International Legion has released video of some of their last movements before retreating from #Severodonetsk.

Chilling moments among the ruins of a once lively city in #Luhansk.

#RussiaOnFire
Video just coming in of a fire in the south of #Moscow.
Investigations are underway but two buildings (maybe warehouses) were ablaze.
No injuries.
#RussiaOnFire

The fire (see last tweet) in #Moscow is being treated as arson. The flames covered over 2,000 square metres at its height.

Authorities have not revealed what was in the buildings or who owned them.

#Sabotage #StopRussia
Is it true @BurgerKing and @kfc that you are still operating in #Russia?

Each sale contributes to war crimes and the murder of civilians. Are you happy with that?

New offers perhaps?
#DeathWithFries #BloodNotKetchup
The Pope describes the terrorist strike by #Russia on a mall in #Kremenchuk (#Krememnchug) as the latest in a series of "barbaric attacks"

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
Good. A really glaring omission until today.

Thought to be #Russia's second or third richest person and of course close links to the Kremlin for all of Putin's time in power.

Thankfully the UK government has waived visa fees for members of the #Ukraine freedom orchestra

They'll be playing the @bbcproms as part of a tour, but faced a bill of £259 per person, which led to a public campaign against the fees.

Another gripping report from the front line by @SkyNews' Special Correspondent ' @AlexCrawfordSky

Entitled the Last Days of Lysychansk, the Sky team deserve a lot of praise for this

#Ukraine #StopRussia

news.sky.com/story/ukraine-…
Who needs war? Lightning just outside #Kyiv has destroyed a bridge and killed a man.

The incident happened in the #Vyshhorod district, near the village of Demydiv, on the river Irpin.
Two others were injured.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Pro-#Russia bloggers claim Russia was able to purchase a couple of "Caeser" Howitzers from corrupt #Ukraine officers.

No proof, but they allege the $7m+ units were flogged for just $120k each & are now in Nizhny Tagil.
Four of the other 14 donated by #France are likely destroyed
95 of the Mariupol' #Azovstal defenders including 43 from the #Azov regiment have been released in a big prisoner exchange.

In all 144 POWs were exchanged between #Ukraine and #Russia

Some streets of President @ZelenskyyUa's hometown of #KryvyiRih may soon be renamed in honour of @BorisJohnson and @JoeBiden

#SlavaUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Anti-war protest stickers have started to appear in #Putin's home city of #StPetersburg.

"the war will end - we are eternal"

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia ImageImage
Not even #Ukraine media reporting this yet!

AZOVSTAL POWs released!

WTF? @richardbranson pops up in #Kyiv

The British entrepreneur met with President @ZelenskyyUa today.

They discussed maintaining world attention on the war in #Ukraine, as well as the prospects for cooperation in the post-war reconstruction of the country.

#SlavaUkraini
The first story I reported on today's thread was this disgusting strike by #Russia on an apartment block in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

Five are now known to have died.
Here's a new video of the moment of impact - again zero possible military targets here

It seems there's a whole new "underground" publication just sprung up in #Russia, called "Women's Truth"

This report says the new issue reports on women who've experienced the horrors of war

A #Ukraine grain train has derailed in #Romania.

The train has 32 wagons of grain and weighed over 700 tonnes. 11 of the carriages came off the track in the accident which happened in Iasi.

The train was on its way to the port city of Constanța:

Large swathes of #Ukraine's media seem hell bent on smashing @poroshenko. Previously attacks on the ex-President for trying to leave the country when he wanted to complete a deal to bring specialised vehicles back to Ukraine

Today an attack on him for being in a London hotel
2/2
TSN Channel says its reporter "just happened" to pass by in what it described as one of London's most expensive hotels. TSN's reporters that well paid?

TSN owned by #Kolomoiskyi, who put #Zelenskyy into office. Same Kolomoiskyi who brought down Privat Bank, but is free in🇺🇦 Image
#Putin, who denied #Russia's troops were in #Crimea in 2014 and came up with 5 stories about #MH17, has predictably denied they hit a civilian target in #Kremenchuk

“Nobody among us shoots just like that, randomly. It is based on intelligence with high-precision weapons.”
This evening #Russia looks to have captured the village of #Pryvillya to the northwest of Lysychansk.

The noose in #Luhansk gets a little tighter.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Emotional scenes this evening as the Ukrainian prisoners released in the prisoner swap earlier today, made it back to #Ukraine held territory.

Many are badly injured.
One soldier said "emotions are overflowing, there were thoughts that this day would not come."

#HeroiamSlava
Just for a change, the poor residents of #Kharkiv have been sheltering from missiles.

At least two explosions reported in the city tonight.
Here's one recorded on CCTV

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine️
A reporter from Telegram channel ukraina24tv now reported six explosions in #Kharkiv tonight.

Missiles were fired from #Belgorod' in #Russia

Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.

Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?

Saturday was another full-on journalistic stint, catching sleep when I could.
Kharkiv shattered overnight then a daytime attack on a kids' railway.
Operation Web 2.0 & a factory hit in Russia.
It's all ⬇️

Early this morning, just before the end of the previous thread I showed the Azot chemical plant in Tula region on fire.
Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦

This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!

Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win
