Thread by @TWMCLtd

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

More proof has emerged of #Russia stealing grain from #Ukraine

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

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

#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.

#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.

#Germany media outlet @Welt has been blocked in #Russia.

Another video from #Kherson, another explosion.

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.

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.

#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.

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.

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.

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