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.
1/2 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.
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!
#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.
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.
#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.
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.
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.
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.
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]
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
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:
I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.
It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.
