The 138th daily thread on #Russia's war of choice starts here.

Real signs in the last few days that #Ukraine has levelled the playing (combat) field with the arrival of long range artillery.

Even as I type rockets seem to be landing in Russian held territory. Read on...⬇️
Just 2 hours ago, at the end of yesterday's thread, I reported on explosions again in occupied #NovayaKakhovka where #Russia suffered heavy losses earlier on Sunday.

Now reports of more rockets landing in #Kherson. Yesterday evening #Ukraine pledged to regain land in the south.

Now a puzzle for you.. Just what is being transported on trains in huge quantities through #Russia?
Missiles/rockets? Logs? Rolled sheet metal? All suggested so far.

Great work @CarolynnePries1 to capture these from a webcam.
This is Uzlovaya, about 230km south of Moscow
2/2
Another load passed through #Uzlovaya just a couple of hours ago.

The Murmansk-Novorossiysk line goes through here. On its way south it virtually tracks the Ukraine border for a while before heading to Rostov and further south thereafter.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
This photo has been posted a few times on pro-Ukraine channels in the last few hours.

It's supposed to show Russian soldiers killed at the eastern front, perhaps near #Sloviansk. However the time stamp has been removed and I suspect it's old even if genuine.
Here's the latest design for cigarette packs in #Russia.

Well being in the Z or V units is also bad for your health!

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
News of another fantastic battle, where a brave Russian soldier single handedly took on an unarmed fence.

Despite the heroism of the Orc, the fence withstood everything and still bears the colours of #Ukraine🤣🤣
It's been noisy in #Kharkiv the last 30 minutes or so.
Three explosions reported by locals so far.

Crude (Russian) language from the locals in this recording

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Looks like you guys solved the riddle. Thanks to all who wrote.
The cargo is apparently Railroad-ties or prefab railtrack-pieces for fast repairs.

A lot of sabotage across Russia and certainly the need to replace tracks in the Donbas.

President @ZelenskyyUa says yesterday's attack on #ChasivYar was a deliberate attack on civilians (and this another war crime).

He confirms the death toll is still 15, but will rise.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

No territorial advance for #Russia and soldiers not being given a break since the start of the invasion of #Ukraine.

That's today's Intelligence update from the UK

#StopRussia
First light brought evidence of the damage from the attack in #Kharkiv during the night.

No news of casualties yet

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's General Staff released a video from liberated Ivanivka.

The village in #Kherson region was taken back from Russian invaders a week ago. As with all territories which suffered Russia's "peacekeepers", immense destruction.

#StandWithUkraine

Very little change to the numbers on #Ukraine's daily estimate of #Russia's losses.

It's not known if yesterday's rocket attacks on enemy positions are included, but doesn't look like it considering they claimed 100 deaths in one attack alone.

#StopRussia #PutinsWar
#Kharkiv is under attack again right now. MLRS apparently being fired in #Ukraine's second city.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Four missiles fired on #Odesa region this morning too.

Kirill Timoshenko, Deputy Head of #Odessa, says one rocket landed.
No further details yet.

#Ukraine #StopRussia
#Kharkiv authorities say three people died in this attack overnight.

Another 28 were injured in the Russian strikes on the apartment block.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopPutin #SaveUkraine

Meanwhile, this is the scene of #Russia's new attack this morning in the city of #Kharkiv.

#UkraineUnderAttaсk #StandWithUkraine
20 rockets were fired on #Sumy region this morning.

It's believed the MLRS attack did not cause any civilian casualties.

#UkraineUnderAttaсk #StandWithUkraine
Update from #Odesa

Although officials initially said they thought only one missile landed in the region, two columns of smoke can be seen.

Under martial law restrictions photos have to be edited until location can be revealed.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine
#Kherson's Resistance movement continues to get the message across. Patriots posting these in the occupied territory now:

"Kherson - 'cross out' Rashism. The Ukrainian night is already near."
It's exactly 8 years since the very first missile attack by #Russia in #Ukraine.

It came on 11 July 2014 in #Zelenopillya (RU: #Zelenopolye) in #Luhansk oblast.

#Ukraine's government released this video to get the message across - #Russia has been the aggressor for 8 years.
#Ukraine's Emergency Services published a video of their work, following the missile attack on a residential building in #Kharkiv overnight which killed 3 and injured over 20.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
TV presenters in #Ukraine broadcasting live from the ruins of another Russian missile strike.

They spoke to Pavlo Kirilenko, Head of #Donetsk. He confirmed the death toll in #ChasivYar has climbed to 20, with 8 injured. During the night one man was rescued alive from the rubble.
First video clip received from the site of y'day's attack by #Ukraine on Russians in Tavriysk, #Kherson

Serhiy Khlan' a city councillor before the war, claims many soldiers/equipment were destroyed.

But this pro-Ukraine Telegram channel says locals tell them the place was empty
Russia has shelled almost all towns on the #Donetsk frontline today.

#Toretsk was attacked twice and numerous other towns and villages were also hit. Among them, #Bakhmut where the local sports ground was badly damaged.

There are casualties, with many civilian buildings hit.
Not a surprise! Another subtle hint at the Kremlin's real intent.

Conquer all of #Ukraine and if not possible grab and ruin as much as possible, including people.

We must ALL #StandWithUkraine️

I want to let you know about the UK premiere of what I'm told is a wonderful new film set in 1920s Soviet #Ukraine.

It's showing at the @Iwilltell festival in London on Saturday. I'll be there!

#Ukraine's richest man, Rinat Akhmetov, has shocked the nation with his decision to give away his media empire.

SCM/Media Group UA will give up TV channels Ukraine, Ukraine24, NLO TV, multimedia "Today", "News Group Ukraine" and the football channels

scm.com.ua/news/zayava-ri…
2/2
Akhmetov sites a new anti-oligarch law. But his move is surprising as other oligarchs have handed over ownership to work collectives for example

During the war #Ukraine has just one broadcast on all channels

Akhmetov also owns many mines + plants in now occupied territory
#Ukraine repelled another attempted Russian offensive in the #Donbas, according to UA General Staff

The battle was in Maryinka, detailed in the evening report here, where it's also claimed Ukraine still controls territory in #Luhansk

#StandWithUkraine

facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…
A grim day in #ChasivYar in #Donetsk where the death toll just keeps on climbing after yesterday's horrific attack on apartments.

30 bodies have now been dragged from the 170 tonnes of rubble removed so far. The search is continuing.

Nine wounded are being treated in hospital
1/2
Extraordinary developments reported in #Kazakhstan where it appears President Tokayev has sided with #Ukraine against #Russia.

Previously he'd said he does not recognise the so called DPR/LPR. As if that wasn't bad enough for Putin, his threats didn't work either ..
2/2

#Kazakhstan suggests it can help the EU to replace Russian oil.

Russia bans oil exports from KAZ.

Tokayev says the oil will bypass Russia cutting them out of any cut whatsoever.

Russia rescinds the export ban!
A humiliating capitulation.
Well played Kazakhstan!
Just in case #Russia thought the day couldn't get worse..

Eyewitnesses report a massive power outage in 6 districts of the Moscow region.

Thousands of people were left powerless Yegoryevsky, Orekhovo-Zuevsky, Sergiev Posad, Solnechnogorsk, Istrinsky and Ruzsky districts.
#NovayaKakhovka - huge explosion reported in the occupied town.

I cannot verify this and it's the only photo or video I can find so far. The time stamp is less than an hour ago.
Quite a lot of chat about loud bangs in the town in #Kherson region.

#StandWithUkraine
The same channel which published the video in the last tweet also has a photo of the Russian barracks in #Kherson which was reportedly hit yesterday.

Earlier some posters claimed it was an empty building, but these guys confirm #Ukraine reports that 100 troops may have died here
The #Ukraine hit on an ammo store in #NovayaKakhovka is confirmed. There are other videos out there.

The guys filming this in occupied #Kherson region were a little too close for comfort.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine
Strange that #Russia's officials in stolen #Crimea admit one of their soldiers was beaten by 3 attackers for wearing a "Z" on his uniform.

Usually they make up stories to foster hatred of #Ukraine, but this could backfire, emboldening other saboteurs and raising fear in Crimea.
"Do svidanya" to three more Commanders of Orcs.

Three more high ranking Russians have been "de-nazified" the #Ukraine army reported.

facebook.com/AFUStratCom/po…
Another three bodies found under the rubble in #ChasivYar, including of a child.

33 people now died in this Russian attack, including the youngster, thought to be 9 years old.

#Russia is already admitting the attack in occupied #NovayaKakhovka.

The first thing they say is that #Ukraine did not hit the hydroelectric power station.

Of course Russia denies it was an ammo dump, saying "warehouses with saltpeter exploded"🤥
2/2

#Russia now trying to maximise propaganda goes along the "victims" path. They even claim the hospital is damaged, which seems unlikely.

Quite possible there may have been some injuries in the secondary explosions as ammo was set off.

This reportedly inside a home in NK
A little "action" it seems near #Kramatorsk too.

This was spotted, but almost impossible to judge how far away rockets are from the #Ukraine held city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Credible reports that at the time of this evening's missile hitting #NovayaKakhovka, there were around 40 fuel tankers at the military base.

Separate sources also claim there were over 200 rockets for MLRSs.

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!

Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win
If you missed anything from yesterday, catch up with this link to the start of yesterday's thread. Scroll down to where you got to and complete your knowledge!

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image
