Day 128 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

The illegal, insane, inhumane war which was Putin's choice.

More murder and war crimes today as the little man in the Kremlin orders revenge for the loss if Snake Island

All the news right here in one place, welcome to the daily thread
The revenge from #Russia for the anger at losing #SnakeIsland is an horrendous missile attack on residents in #Odesa/#Odessa region.

17 dead and 31 injured as rescuers work at the site.

Yet another war crime

#Putin loves symbolism and to leave calling cards.
It's no coincidence that he ordered the murderous strikes on an apartment block and two leisure complexes in #Odesa region with exactly the same delivery as #Kremenchuk - three X-22 missiles fired from Tu-22 strategic bombers.
3/
Now an 18th person has died in the cowardly attack by #Russia on the #Odesa region. Three children are among the dead, another is in a coma.

The main hits were in Belgorod-Dniester region of #Odessa. One missile destroyed a 9-storey residential building.

One more video from #Odesa region, south #Ukraine.
The resort village of #Serhiivka.

The British today confirming #Ukraine forced #Russia to leave #SnakeIsland.

The information about the oil refinery in #Lysychansk does seem to be a little outdated. Image
One more small boat was added to #Russia's list of war losses.

A small craft was lost during the last #Ukraine attack on Snake Island and the ensuing evacuation by the Kremlin's forces, along with a Ka-52 helicopter which I wrote about last night. Image
There were also rocket attacks in #Mykolaiv region overnight.

#Ukraine's authorities there claim #Russia used outlawed cluster munitions again yesterday, while fresh grads already arrived this morning.

This is a video of the scene of one strike on a business in #Nikolaev
Today, the #EU flag has symbolically been installed in #Ukraine's Parliament.

The President of the European Commission @vonderleyen spoke via video link to The Rada. President @ZelenskyyUa pledged to fulfill all requirements to allow🇺🇦 to move from candidate to full 🇪🇺 member
Haunting

This poster recalls being sent to summer kids' camps at #Serhiivka, in #Odesa region, where many died today.

"Instead of children's laughter and fun, just death and ruin... #Russia will take everything if you don't stop them."

#SaveUkraine

Another mass grave reportedly found in #Mariupol'

There is no hope now of ever knowing the real extent of the campaign of murder by #Russia's army in the southern port city. Crimes, like bodies, are hidden, burned.

#Donetsk Oblast. On the frontline at #Yasynuvata.

This is just east of #Avdiivka and only 10km or so north of Donetsk city itself.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
More on the last tweet. It seems certain to be a #Ukraine attack on occupied territory

A new video of the scene at #Yasynuvata nr #Donetsk. Rockets have hit railway infrastructure and warehouses, maybe ammo dump

In addition reports of a hit on an oil depot in #Rovenky, #Luhansk
#Turkey/#Turkiye has reportedly blocked access to two liberal western journalism sites.

It's claimed @dwnews and @VOANews are accused of broadcasting on the internet without a licence.
#Russia's Defence Ministry claims its troops are fighting in the centre of #Lysychansk now.

I already reported it looks like #Ukraine has had to give up the oil refinery; now Russians say they control the Matrosskaya mine and a gelatin plant.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Ukrainian Borshch has been included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list!

#Bulgaria's carried out a controlled explosion of a Soviet-era naval mine near its Black Sea coast.

There have been a few reports of mines floating in the Black Sea since the war began.

#Russia and #Ukraine accuse each other of planting them.
The death toll in #Odesa has risen to 20 after today's attack by #Russia.

Peskov says they don't attack civilian targets, just like he said the west was lying about Russian about to invade in February.

Before and after "Russian World" intervened today at this civilian retreat Image
WTF?
Not only does Putin not even hide it any more, the little man audaciously brags about his real intent (which I warned about all along)

If this is genuine, no country should admit any Russian passenger across its borders until all these are destroyed

#Russia's Foreign Ministry has just said "NATO starts an arms race"

It's unbelievable - having bragged about its new "Sarmat" nuclear capable missile which was tested in April, plus the Zircon from Submarine and the previous triumphant broadcasts of its new hypersonic weapons.
Often trolls write to me about Russia just supporting Donetsk's right to be free
Obviously it's baloney, Russia fomented trouble, while Putin brutally put down Chechnya's Independence bid.

Now no support for Karakalpakstan, huge demos, as it hopes to cede from 🇷🇺ally #Uzbekistan
US Ice Hockey team @NHLFlyers has lost its goal-tender.

Ivan Fedotov was trying to leave #Russia to start his new NHL contract in #Philadelphia when he was detained. Fedotov is suspected of evading the army and has been taken to the military registration and enlistment office.
* WARNING * Graphic video *

I cannot verify this, but it's said to show young victims of the #Odesa bombing.

In the early hours this morning #Russia attacked a resort in #Odessa, killing 20 and injuring many others.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
As I've been reporting for a while, #Russia has now confirmed appeals for have been submitted by at least one of the British POWs sentenced to death.

Lawyers for Shaun Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun have lodged appeals.

TASS reports Aiden Aslin has not yet appealed.
Time for #RussiaOnFire again...

A fire in the mayor's building at #Krasnoyarsk
All employees evacuated the building. Authorities say the blaze broke out in a technical room on the 6th floor.

Although this looks interesting, it doesn't look like obvious sabotage.

#SaveUkraine Image
And another one.. #RussiaOnFire

This was a large fire at a store in #Voronezh
There are few details

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It seems #Russia are now attacking #SnakeIsland even though it's empty.

The question now is what secret information did they leave behind?

Boris Johnson has been made an honorary citizen of #Odesa

The British PM gets the Order of Hryhoriy Marazli for help during the war.

Hennadiy Trukhanov said if the entire world took the same position as the British, we would already have defeated Russia

suspilne.media/256270-premer-…
More much needed equipment will soon be heading to #Ukraine.

USA certainly stepping up to the plate after a slow start.

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.

Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.

Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.

Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:

No missiles were fired at Ukraine overnight, and "only" 57 attack drones.

As Russia fired mostly at soft targets in front line regions, the air defence stats don't look good.

Just 18 UAVs were shot down and 7 stopped by EW, which is 44% Image

I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.

It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.

Catching up? Click, scroll down to where you left off.
Can't remember where you got up to? Try liking every post then when you scroll back you see where♥️end

A massive 35 missiles were fired by Russia, mostly this morning, along with 344 suicide drones.

Ukraine shot down:
7/12 ballistic missiles
7/8 Iskander-K cruise
9/15 Kh-101 cruise

But more interesting is that Ukraine says all the other 7 cruise missiles were disabled by EW Image
