The 137th day of #PutinsWar is underway and already more rockets and missiles are flying.

This is the start of Sunday's thread with all the news throughout the day from #Ukraine and beyond, as #Russia continues its destructive invasion of its neighbour.
#Luhansk region is where we start today, with news of a likely #Ukraine attack.

This is #Alchevsk, about 25km west of #Lugansk city

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Here's another video from #Alchevsk.
Things are really hotting (and lighting) up in the occupied town in #Luhansk.

#Lugansk #Donbas #Donbass #Ukraine #SaveUkraine
#Russia has also begun the new day with firing on #Ukraine positions.

The invaders continue their usual tactics along the frontline. Smashing everything in each town and village with artillery and missiles before advancing.
#Bakhmut is on the frontline now
#Sloviansk (RU: #Slavyansk) is also in #Russia's sights.

#Ukraine has defended this city stubbornly since freeing it from Russian control 8 years ago.

But more rockets are flying into Sloviansk tonight

#SaveUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Making a difference. Should be a good match up against #Russia's "new" 1950s tractor pullers!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The Russian attack near #Bakhmut overnight has killed six people, but there are fears many more may have died. 34 people are still buried under the rubble in #ChasivYar, the youngest just 9yo

Emergency Service have already dismantled 70 tons of debris

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#France is about to end Russian gas supplies. It could even happen today. C'est bien!

#Russia killed a 20 year old woman during missile attacks in #Kharkiv oblast.

She died when shelling in the village of Pechenyhi, #Chuhuev district, caused a fire.

Meanwhile a school was destroyed in Slobid, NE of #Kharkiv and a children's sanatorium was damaged in Osnovyansk.
Anti war group Bi-2 received a torrent of booing when performing at the Russian Super up match yesterday.

However it didn't help that the lead singer wore a Spartak scarf when playing in Zenit's home stadium, and Spartak got thrashed!

Four more bodies have been pulled out of the rubble in #Bakhmut area of #Ukraine

The death toll now stands at 10.

All sorts of stories emerging from #Kherson.

This train of thought is that #Ukraine has hit a Russian army base.

But other reports say #Russia's military were stood around looking at their watches and had left the building, knowing RU missiles were due

A little earlier this video of the city appeared on chat sites and news channels in occupied #Kherson.

Y'day I reported about the big strike at occupied #NovoayaKakhovka
A top Ukraine official says 100 Russian soldiers died & confirms 11 more ammo dumps have been hit in #Mariupol #Alchevsk #Shakhtersk #Kirovsky #Khartsyzsk #Chistyakovo, #Ilovaisk+ #Donetsk

#Ukraine says it shot down a Russian helicopter above #Horlivka (RU #Gorlovka)

The incident happened yesterday, but the exact model of the chopper has yet to be provided.
So far. no visual proof of this hit

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The death toll at #ChasivYar is now up to 15.
#Ukraine has now released this video of the scene of #Russia's missile attack.

#Kherson

#Ukraine's leaders are quite confident they have dealt a big blow to the Russian forces in the occupied city.

Kherson official Serhiy Khlan writes of "ourgith panic" with “Russians are screaming under the rubble.”

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
It's reported from #Russia that a bus full of army conscripts was involved in a deadly accident in #Arkhangelsk region.

The coach was hit by a truck and a tanker carrying gas

The driver of the truck died on the spot, others have "injuries of varying severity."
#Russia claims the missiles launched on #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka) destroyed two hangers full of US M777 Howitzers.

No proof. Looks rather hopeful from their point of view. An attempt to drown out bad news from #Kherson and elsewhere.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Germany media outlet @Welt has been blocked in #Russia.
Another video from #Kherson, another explosion.
"Smoke is everywhere, it's impossible to breathe"

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
#Donetsk #Donbas

Explosions now near the car-market in Donetsk.
This is in the Kuibyshevskyi district to the west of the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW
A pro-#Ukraine Telegram channel in #Kherson says it's caught out #Russia lying again.

Kremlin channels reported a hospital being hit in #Donetsk, but they've reportedly found the same photos being used 5 years ago.
Here's the aftermath of the shelling of the "car market" in #Donetsk a little earlier.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW #Donbas
For more than a month, #Germany has been blocking €9m of aid to #Ukraine, an Italian newspaper reports.

They hint this may be a reason why @ZelenskyyUa yesterday removed the ambassador to Germany.

#StandWithUkraine

#Russia continues its attempt to destroy everything and everyone before the ground offensive.

Tow more towns bearing the brunt right now on the eastern front.

First #Soledar where there are the first claims of Russian troops entering the town (I doubt this yet)

#StopRussia
... and more shells landing in #Bakhmut in the last hour.

This is another frontline town right now and one #Russia will be fairly confident of capturing within a week.
The authoritarian regime in #Moscow sinks to new depths.

@Sota_Vision reveals an activist from Nizhny Novgorod was fined for using quote marks.

Aleksey Podnebesny complained money was being spent on "special operation" and not solving problems like no hot water in hostels.
In #Kharkiv region, @GoncharenkoUa reports on his Telegram channel that another collaborator has met a messy end.

He claims Yevgeny Yunakov, Russia's appointed "Head" of Veliky Burluk, was blown up in his car.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine has a million ready to recapture the south from Russian occupiers.

Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov told The Times that President Zelenskyy had ordered the military to take back coastal areas vital to the economy.

Invaders have, for a second time, removed and broken a monument to a #Ukraine war hero.

Opera singer Vasyl Slipak died on the frontline in 2016
The memorial was first desecrated on 7 March, but restored.

Now hooligans have done it again; this posted on the official Donetsk site
First official response from the pretend "government" in #Donetsk to a military base being hit there today by #Ukraine's long range artillery.

Denis Pushilin admits to only 3 deaths of "volunteer activists" and 11 injuries.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
In occupied #Luhansk, air raid sirens, sounds of explosions and air defence missiles being launched.
In neighbouring #Donetsk oblast, a local claims this is #Ukraine using phosphorous munitions.

No location; the time stamp is this evening.
Such weapons are not strictly outlawed if not used on civilians, e.g. for creating a smokescreen or highlighting territory.
#Horlivka - occupied #Donetsk region

A whole load of rockets fired towards #Ukraine, caught on camera by a local.

#StandWithUkraine
Earlier today #Ukraine carried out strikes on #NovayaKakhovka in occupied #Kherson region.

Tonight more sounds in the town - all guesswork as to whether incoming or outgoing.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Unconfirmed reports on local Russian chat sites in #Belgorod that there are explosions near the airport.

Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.

I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.

But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

We fight a constant battle against X censorship, so please share, spread, recommend valued accounts and check if you or friends have been unfollowed from favourite people/accs.

76 out of 76 - a 100% record for #Ukraine defenders of the skies.

During the night (and morning) none of #Russia's 76 attack drones hit targets according to Air Defence command.

72 were shot down, 2 disappeared and 2 more went home to #Russia.

There was some damage though... Image

Hi there. It's Day 933 of #Ukraine's defence after the full invasion by #Russia.

Each day, all the big news is here in one place, updated throughout the day.

Scroll through yesterday's thread here:
Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.

It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.

🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.

#RussiansGOHOME

#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!

Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.

Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.

So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.

We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin

Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home

Here's the link for y'day's news
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.

Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.

The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.

Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
Before the end of yesterday's thread I wrote about deaths in #KryvyiRih, and there have been more innocent civilians killed this morning.

Around 30 killer drones and another mix of cruise, ballistic and Kindzhal (Dagger) missiles have all been fired at #Ukraine by #Russia.

A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.

This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.

Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack

#Ukraine is on edge right now with a possible big missile attack about to happen.

Monitors reported #Russia launching bombs, and the first 4 missiles are reportedly already in southern Ukraine.
