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.

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

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:

There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?

Day 1541 of Russia's war on Ukraine - this is PART TWO of today's thread.

I'm restarting, and linking here to the 17 posts so far today (thread part one).
If I continued I would not able to see any replies.

I've now had confirmation of one fatality in Russia's attack on Kyiv.

The injury count is now up to 16.
This is a video from first responders, trying to rescue those trapped in a collapsed apartment building in the Darnytskyi district.
Air alerts are beginning to be lifted in more regions of Ukraine.
Among those is Khmelnytskyi, where there was a drone swarm on the military airbase. No damage is reported.
