1/ Thread on #Uzbekistan
Very difficult to obtain information following the State of Emergency in #Karakalpakstan.
A reminder that the President has done a U-turn and won't now try to deprive the region of its autonomy.
GRAPHIC VIDEO
Last night many died, over 1,000 injured
2/ #Karakalpakstan capital #Nukus saw many deaths after riot police tried to break up a huge rally in the centre
In tactics identical to those seen in #Belarus + #Russia when confronted with domestic protests, armed police were this morning brutal arresting suspects
(unverified)
3/ #Nukus appears to be calm this evening, at least I've not seen reports of gatherings, which would be illegal under the new emergency measures
However, the #Uzbekistan riot police snatch squads continued their terror tactics on the streets throughout the day (unverified video)
4/ A couple more videos showing evidence of the #Uzbekistan snatch squads in action in #Karakalpakstan earlier today.
These videos are all unverified, but I checked the time stamps.
The President may have relented, but with this repression it doesn't augur well for the future
You've found the start of the daily thread - here every single day. All news is fact-checked, without hyperbole but with context. My aim is to help you know what's really going on in #Ukraine so you can be informed to tell others
Let's go
It's been a difficult morning for #Ukraine with #Russia launching missile attacks already, after drones earlier in the night.
But the traditional way to start is to give you the chance to review yesterday's news, inc more gains in #Kursk and 🇷🇺burning!
Hello & welcome to Day 908 of #Russia's disgusting, and now disastrous, all-out war on #Ukraine.
Throughout history the independence, strength and rebellious nature of Ukrainians has caused problems for imperialist rulers and dictators.
History is biting Putin on the bum again!
This is THE daily thread, the only one you need for all the major news about #Ukraine's fight for freedom and its very existence.
Sunday was quiet, but still plenty to get your teeth into. Click here if you were offline some of the day & need a catch-up:
A new week, and coming to the end of the first week of #Ukraine's decision to take the war directly into #Russia's territory, more than 10 years after Putin invaded sovereign🇺🇦land.
It's Day 901 of the all-out war. All the news, all the time, in one handy thread. Read-on!
We start again with a look back to yesterday.
Lots of news once again. Not least from #Kursk region, but please remember #Ukraine has a media silence from there. Some battalions post selfies, but mostly it's only #Russia and locals uploading photos.
I want to revisit what happened at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
I've now read and spoken to a few who know more than me about the plant. Everyone agrees it's a cooling tower, with nothing to burn there.
So it's almost certain #Russia burned something as a provocation.
