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…

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.

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.

It's Tuesday 12 July - or Day 139 of #Russia's four day operation to seize #Kyiv.

#Ukraine continues to survive and more than that, genuinely fight back.

This is the place for all the news and analysis of the war. Read on...
I'll start with the British Intel update because it touches upon #Russia's alternative ways of recruiting fighters:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia Image
The previous tweet reminds me of this video I saw a couple of days ago.

This purports to be recruitment for the Wagner Group inside a jail. It's said they promise an amnesty after six months of war, regardless of the charge.

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.

Day 136 of #Russia's war, welcome to the daily thread documenting the most important news, events, and some of my analysis along the way.

Mercifully a fairly quite night in #Ukraine as it fights for its very existence.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
I start with news from occupied region and the #Ukraine Resistance movement.

A collaborator policeman has been shot dead in #NovayaKakhovka (#Kherson region) and two other attempted attacks which are not yet reported.

Thanks to @AlbaThunberg for help

Nice to hear #Russia is digging deep in to its reserves. 1950s tractor-pullers now being sent to fight #Ukraine.

To be honest Ukraine's tractor army won't probably even bother retrieving these bits of scrap🤣🤣

#Russia's war on #Ukraine enters Day 135 - here's the start of the daily thread.

All the news updated throughout the day in one handy place!

Expecting a new push from Russians soon after troop rotation, Ukraine hoping new weapons will help their defence.
The main focus continues to be in the east of #Ukraine

But #Ukraine is regaining its territory in #Kherson region. Here's the UK MOD asessment.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Among data published regularly by #Kyiv is children affected by #PutinsWar.

The number of kids known to have been killed or injured by Russia will reach 1,000 within a week, while many more deaths remain hidden in occupied cities like #Mairupol'

Currently 347 dead, 646 injured

British journalist @joannalillis was detained while reporting on the protests in #Uzbekistan. She was also ordered to delete videos with witnesses, but police later apologised, let her go and returned her phone

@joannalillis 1/
Here's a long thread trying to determine whether the red on the streets of #Nukus in #Karakalpakstan was blood, or dye sprayed by water cannons.

In short they make no real conclusion, it may have been red dye.
I counter with it may have been blood.

@joannalillis 2/
I'm not saying Brecht is wrong and there's some great analysis. But I find it strange there is not one single photo or frame of video which shows any vehicle spraying red dye during the violence in #Karakalpakstan

Two more points:
1) There's an injured person on the ground -

Here we go then. For the 134th time, I welcome you to the daily thread covering all the news and developments from #Russia's war of choice and invasion of its peaceful neighbour #Ukraine.

Updated in real time throughout the day, read on!

#StandWithUkraine
The British intelligence update today is interesting.

#Russia continues "mobilisation by stealth" as detailed here.
In some regions quotas are given and residents are strongly urged to "volunteer"

#SaveUkraine
Overnight another example of #Russia's "precision" weapons doing some aerial gymnastics in #Belgorod region and something far from precise 🤣🤣
