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

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.

Hello again. It's the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1540 of Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour, which never threatened nor ever fired a shot at Russia, until after the original 2014 invasion.

All the big news in one place, every single day. It's what I do!
Tuesday saw a late flurry by Ukrainian drones in Russia, while earlier the Terrorist State was having problems with self-starting fires.

Loads of other interesting stories in a near 50-post thread - missed anything? Click and scroll now:

A big daytime drone attack on Ukraine is ongoing as I type.

Explosions have been heard in Kyiv - air defence shooting them down as far as I can tell so far. About 30 Russian drones are attacking the region and city.

Day 1530 of the war in Europe.
After almost going through the night, it's a late start for me today, but details are now in from another dramatic night.

More civilians murdered in Ukraine, more Russian drones in NATO territory and more Russian ships hit.

Lots to catch up on..
We fell well short of 15k views yesterday despite a very long thread.

We ended with late night drone waves by Ukraine, while earlier on Saturday Russia was hitting buses and trains in another big daytime attack as Putin gets increasingly desperate.

First, news about Ukraine claims of striking THREE boats overnight.

The most significant hit during the new attack on Novorossiysk is the hit on the Karakurt, which was specifically protecting the oil terminal there.

It had 8 Kalibr missiles + a Pantsir air defence onboard Image

The morning after the night before. A dreadful 24 hours for Ukraine as Terrorism rained down on all four of 🇺🇦's biggest cities.

Russia acts with impunity. Putin & his commanders have got away with war crimes for 4 years, so what will change?

Here's the🧵for Day 1513
As I type, BSky is down, which causes problems as it's much easier to simul-post than go back & repost everything later.

So, like the old days before fascism took over here, I'm on X (itter) only.

But these problems are infinitesimally small compared to 1000s in Ukraine today.
A pretty astonishing 24 hours of round-the-clock day and night attacks from Russia. Trying to exhaust Ukraine's air defence missiles and also exhaust the operators too, no doubt.

Many, many civilian deaths and injuries.
This is how it unfolded..

You've found the start of another daily thread and Friday is Day 1507 of Ukraine's heroic struggle to keep alive its independent statehood.

Since Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's uprising in 1648, Ukraine has never had 35 years of freedom. It's about to accomplish that, but at what cost?
All the important stories, throughout the day, every day. It's all fact-checked; I'm a real, trained journalist with vast experience and knowledge of Ukraine.

What's not to love?😆
Catch up on yesterday's thread here:

Just before the end of y'day's🧵 I reported this massive new record, as Russia was forced to close loads of airports.

The number increased to 25 with Grozny, Orenburg, Vladikavkaz and (I think for the first time) Yekaterinburg also shut due to UAV danger

This is the beginning of the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1491.

The day started with an attack a major Russian port, which I was still reporting on during yesterday's🧵at 03:15 GMT/05:15 Kyiv

More details on that coming up.
The aerial fightback at the end of the day (start of today) came after Russia broke every record in the book for drone numbers during a cowardly attack on less protected city centres in the west of the country.

Catch up here, but remember to come back!

Overnight the usual attacks on Ukraine and, I'm afraid, the usual civilian casualties.

Nine people have been injured in a drone strike on the Novobavarskyi district of Kharkiv.
