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.

#StandWithUkraine
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The information about the oil refinery in #Lysychansk does seem to be a little outdated.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.

Hello again.
You've found the start of my daily thread on Day 878 of #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's war of choice.

Wherever you may be, enjoy your weekend, but don't forget about freedom and democracy. Ukraine today, another victim next if we don't stop the bully.
#Russia seems to be affected by fire & water problems in equal measure. #Ukraine helps with its drone successes!

It was a busy Friday! Zelenskyy in London, and Russia up to its old tricks, capturing foreign exchange tokens + killing civilians.
Review here
#Russia did attack #Ukraine overnight.
Two main targets were the energy sector and also the railways.

The national energy company confirmed drones attacks in 3 regions, but it seems the damage to the grid is not too bad.

Day 866 of #Russia's war is already underway.

A frightening start to Monday with missiles already entering #Ukraine's airspace.

All the news all the time, all day every day. Welcome to THE daily thread about Europe's war.
In case you missed any, or all, of Sunday's thread, here's the link so you can catch up easily.

Quite a day it was, too, with numerous successful strikes for #Ukraine on #Russia's positions and in the rear.
##SlavaUkraïni

There are 3 groups of Cruise missiles in #Ukraine right now.

Two are heading westwards towards ##Vinnytsia but are likely to change course many more time yet. The third group is still in #Chernihiv region.

Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.

Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.

More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.

Catch up here:

What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.

This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.

This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.

It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Far right MPs?🇺🇦❌🇷🇺✅
Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.

You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.

This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.

Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛

On Saturday there were stories of #Ukraine sinking a ship in #Taganrog.

Now #Russia's independent BAZA reports a barge there was hit and the tugboat "Inzhener Smirnov"

Two crew members are reported injured.

It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.

This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.

All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
First though, your chance to look back on Thursday's news. If you missed anything, click + scroll here:
First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT
