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
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.
#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.
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.
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.
1/2 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🇺🇦
#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.
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.
More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys.
Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea
Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.
Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️
Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.
I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.
So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out
So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
Christmas Day 2024. Day 1036 of the war inflicted on #Ukraine. The third Christmas for Ukrainian people to suffer. Empty chairs at the dinner table, that will never be filled again. Others at the frontline fighting for their lives and the life of the country.
It's the daily🧵
So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to those celebrating.
A special shout out too, to those working this special day. Also working today, emergency workers in #Ukraine after another massive missile attack
Day 1001 of #Russia's all out war in #Ukraine.
The genocide & attempt to wipe its neighbour from the map continues, but #Putin's increasingly desperate.
Welcome to another daily🧵
Breaking news already early this Wednesday morning.
All the news, all day (and night) every day.
Tuesday 19 November was always going to be special. Day 1,000 and what a day it proved.
Record likes and retweets, thanks to everyone who revived my faith in the T witter audience🫂
1/2 First the breaking news - and a third attack of the night inside #Russia.
At the end of yesterday's thread you may have read of the drone attacks on #Voronezh and #Belgorod regions. Well now it's become clear that #Novgorod has also been attacked by #Ukraine's UAVs..
