Here we go then. For the 134th time, I welcome you to the daily thread covering all the news and developments from #Russia's war of choice and invasion of its peaceful neighbour #Ukraine.

Updated in real time throughout the day, read on!

#StandWithUkraine
The British intelligence update today is interesting.

#Russia continues "mobilisation by stealth" as detailed here.
In some regions quotas are given and residents are strongly urged to "volunteer"

#SaveUkraine
Overnight another example of #Russia's "precision" weapons doing some aerial gymnastics in #Belgorod region and something far from precise 🤣🤣
Some surprising news in the #Ukraine morning Defence briefing. They claim they are still fighting in #Luhansk and have not lost the entire region yet.

It was thought other villages fell quickly after #Lysychansk last week.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Meanwhile the #Ukraine 🇺🇦 finally has been raised on #SnakeIsland

#Russia's army was forced off the piece of land in the Black Sea a week ago by increased Ukrainian attacks, mainly from Caesar Howitzers

Now first photos released by the Government of the flags hoisted again
Let's take a look at the latest #Ukraine claims of total Russian losses in the war.

I understand #Russia has been rotating its troops this week so fewer offensives in some regions, probably a reason why increases have been less of late.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The loss of #SnakeIsland clearly hurts #Putin and his fellow war criminals.

#Russia fired missiles at the island at dawn today along with a couple of strikes at farms in #Odesa region.

Officials say no one was injured but 35 tonnes of grain was destroyed

#SaveUkraine
#Donetsk oblast has seen missiles rain down on both sides of the frontline this week.

#Ukraine's Regional Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko says Russian fire killed 7 civilians yesterday. Three in #Toretsk, 2 in #Avdiivka, and one in the villages of #Kodem and #Siversk.
There is clear worry in #Ukraine over the news about Boris Johnson. No need. All candidates will be strong on #Russia, especially if Defence Min. Ben Wallace, or my choice @TomTugendhat wins the election.

Meanwhile ex-Ukr ambassador to Austria sums it up

Not Groundhog Day!

Occupied #Donetsk burns again, and again the KAMAZ Centre in the city looks to have been hit.

#Donbas #Donbass #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
More parts of #Donetsk region being hit by rockets today.

This is #Ilovaisk - scene of the infamous massacre when #Russia slaughtered unarmed #Ukraine soldiers given a "humanitarian corridor"

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
And yet more hits from, presumably Ukraine, artillery in #Donetsk region.

This smoke was seen rising in #Petrovskyi, a satellite town, just south-west of the city of Donetsk itself. It is currently occupied by #Russia.

#StandWithUkraine️ #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Donetsk authorities are claiming a 30 year old woman died in the shelling of #Petrovskyi (see last tweet).

Another area under attack is #Kuibyshevskyi district in the western part of the city of Donetsk.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
18 people were wounded in artillery missiles attacks #Mykolaiv region yesterday.

Head of the Regional Council Hanna Zamazeyeva confirmed the details this morning, saying the injuries and shelling happened in #Bashtanskyi and #Nikolaev itself.

#StandWithUkraine
A pro-Russian Telegram channel has helpfully published before and after shots of the #KAMAZ centre in #Donetsk. Sadly low res satellite pics, but the damage is still clear.

The buildings have been pounded, presumably by HIMARS, over the last 48 hours.

#SlavaUkraini #StopPutin
Anger in #Ukraine as #Turkiye releases a Russian ship likely loaded with stolen grain

🇺🇦summons the 🇹🇷ambassador, saying "We regret the 🇷🇺 ship Zhibek Zholy, loaded with stolen Ukrainian grain, left the port of Karasu, despite evidence of the criminal case being presented to 🇹🇷"
Earlier I reported on the #Ukraine flag being raised on #SnakeIsland (#Zmiinyi)

Now news that Special Forces while there confirmed the destruction of "about 30 units of enemy equipment and abandoned ammunition"

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Touching photos from #Irpin - scene of so much murder and devastation in the first weeks of #Russia's war of choice.

Now kids from Olymp are back training on the town's football field, but it's still marked with bullet holes and craters

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The #Ukraine held frontline city of #Kramatorsk has been hit. The mayor has confirmed civilian casualties and urged people to stay in shelters.

#StopRussia
#Kramatorsk was hit by aircraft attacks.

Now #Sloviansk is under attack from MLRSs.
Lesnoy and Slavkurort districts both hit reportedly and there are injured according to Mayor Vadim Lyakh said.

#SaveUkraine
UPDATE #Kramatorsk

Awful pictures coming in now after the aircraft attack on the city in #Donetsk. Form the look of this it does seem there has been at least one fatality.

Video to follow in next tweet...

#Donbas #Ukraine #Donbass
#Kramatorsk which was hit by #Russia's Air Force this lunchtime.

At least one feared dead, others injured.

The city is in the free part of #Donetsk oblast, but now almost right on the frontline.

#StandWithUkraine
Now a short video from #Sloviansk which was shelled by MLRS fire from #Russia this morning.

No reports of death here yet, but there are wounded.

#SaveUkraine

credit: excellent TG channel Novostidnua
The #Ukraine head of #Luhansk alleges anyone with pro-Ukrainian views is being shot on the streets in the town of #Kremennaya.

Serhiy Haidai said on TV that local collaborators are identifying patriots and giving their addresses to the invaders from #Russia (or #Chechnya)
Bombs, missiles, rockets, death in #Ukraine.
Top story on all media right now - UK loses Boris!
Too many missiles/artillery hits to keep up with in #Donetsk oblast.

#Debaltseve and #Mayaky the latest towns to be hit. This photo from the latter.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Meanwhile at the #KAMAZ centre in central #Donetsk the show goes on.... that smoke is getting even darker and thicker again it seems.

#SlavaUkraini #Donbas #Ukraine
Just in - #Debaltseve video.

A good and precise hit on some type of armoured vehicle by the look of it. Some explosions there.

#Donbass #Donetsk #Ukraine
A propaganda film crew from #Russia came under fire on the frontline.

I've edited out the anti-Ukraine rubbish and left the pictures.

This happened in #Brusivka, less than 10km NE of #Sloviansk

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This is reportedly in #Avdiivka right now.
* Unverified *

#Donetsk oblast, #Donbas, #Ukraine
Tributes are flooding in from #Ukraine for @BorisJohnson

He's still Prime Minister of the #UK for now, until a new leader is elected.

Here is Presidential Adviser Mikhail Podolyak

#Kramatorsk again

Video from the site of the bombing raid by #Russia's Air Force. Must have been big munitions here.

This is why #Ukraine still needs air defence (preferably fighter jets) to protect its land, its people, its freedom.
#Russia is literally jubilant at the demise of Boris Johnson.

However there will be no change in foreign policy. The UK is united behind #Ukraine, whoever the next PM will be.

However we should also reflect, even when Putin leaves/dies it's unlikely Kremlin policy changes.
Right now the Kremlin is once again pushing the #Ukraine/#USA/#Germany illegal biological weapons/experiments line. Obviously no tangible evidence.

The question in my mind, why suddenly do they try to shift focus again, especially with events in London. Bad losses? Rebellions?
Oh, speak of the devil - here's the "evidence" from the devil, sorry #Russia

During the war "we found documents" showing #Ukraine was studying Ebola, "yet they've never had a case there. So why would they study it?"

I'm not saying #Russia is desperately short of reserves, but credible reports they are now

1) releasing prisoners to serve with the Wagner private military company
2) offering free education for errr... "volunteers" in Donetsk
3) Forcing locals in newly occupied areas to sign up
#Putin today said that #Russia “has not yet started anything in earnest in Ukraine.”

“We do not refuse peace negotiations, but those who refuse should know that further along the more difficult it will be to negotiate. They want to defeat us on the battlefield - let them try.”
It's now known one person died and two others were injured in #Adviivka.

Earlier I showed a photo of a large building completely ablaze after being hit by some sort of munition.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine looks to have struck another blow at an oil depot in occupied #Donetsk. This was also hit in yesterday's bombardment.

The smoke is thick across the city this evening, visible from everywhere.

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine #Donbass
Following on from the last tweet, here's a wider view of the oil fire in Kirovskyi district of #Donetsk.

The occupants are feeling a little hot this evening.
#SlavaUkraini #StopPutin
#Kharkiv: 3 civilians were killed and 5 injured in rocket attacks on a residential district in the city today.

This is a video of where it happened. If you want to see the remains of one victim (which I won't post), check out @SarahAshtonLV's page

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia appears to be targeting #Ukraine's crops.
Yet another example of history-loving Putin trying to recreate #Holodomor

The original FB post is below, from a soldier, Ihor Lutsenko. It may not look real but it was not on the internet previously

This evening a first dispute between #Ukraine and one of its closest allies, #Canada.

This Ukrainian newsdesk reports Ottawa intends, to approve a request from Germany for an exception to the sanctions, to supply turbines for the Nord Stream gas pipeline

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

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
