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.

#KhersonIsUkraine #ХерсонцеУкраїна
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.

A very bright and warm good morning to you, on Day 1231 of Russia's war of choice

Putin's choice to invade a sovereign, peaceful neighbour, to ruin the economy, to send hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to die

Is the tide about to turn? Here's THE daily thread on Ukraine
Well 2 days ago I was optimistic, and today that optimism is borne out.

But first, let's backtrack to yesterday, and in among the forehands and backhands, I still managed to produce a good thread with a Pimms or two🎾

An awful lot of people criticised me (well, I picked up a lot of bots and Kremlin stooges too) for saying that the Donald would backtrack.

But I read the runes and I was correct. Trump has unequivocally promised more weapons for Ukraine.

I think among Ukraine watchers there is a bit of positivity.

It's thread + Day 1229 of the full invasion of🇺🇦, ordered by a now indicted war criminal.

I'll tell you about my renewed optimism during today's 🧵so let's start the Sunday show..
As always (unless I forget!), here's the link to the start of the previous day's news round-up.
It was a 22 (yes, twenty-two) hour marathon.

So the least you can do is read it all 😂😇
.. or send me a KoFi💙💛

I'll start with very recent news as there's been another big attack in daylight hours.

Shortly before 10am, Russian drones hit another military recruitment centre, this time in Kremenchuk.

Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image
