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
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.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Four people injured in heavy shelling of #Mykolaiv early this morning.

The mayor of #Nikolaev, Oleksandr Syenkevych says Russian rockets hit two medical facilities and residential buildings.

#Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
Morning in occupied #NovayaKakhovka enabled us to see the full devastation following #Ukraine's hit on a military base. It's claimed 40 fuel tankers and numerous weapons/ammo were destroyed in the incredible fireworks display.

#StopRussia
There's long been a worry for #Ukraine on its northern border with #Belarus.

The country is now undertaking "Command-staff exercises with territorial troops" on the border. Furthermore Martial Law is in place in the region.

A bluff or prelude to land assault by Lukashenka?
1/2
Back to #NovayaKakhovka in occupied #Kherson region.

Another case of accuse others of what #Russia does itself. Two days after destroying a humanitarian aid centre, they claim #Ukraine's strike on a military base did the same there.

The occupiers then have the temerity...
2/2

...to say it was devastating for the town "since no one receives either pensions or wages."
Russia occupied #NovayaKakhovka over 4 months ago - why is there still no pension/wages?

Photo shows some of the collateral damage caused by secondary explosions from the ammo dump.
Just another of #Russia's senior officer meeting his end.

Captain Anton Shmelev, Commander of the howitzer artillery battery, 228 regiment Yekaterinburg.

He trespassed on #Ukraine land and paid the ultimate price on 8 July when his vehicle was blown up.
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Another one bites the dust!
Traitor Colonel Oleskiy Avramchenko completed his military education and service in #Ukraine including on #Crimea, where he chose to join Russia.
He was one of those to take down the🇺🇦flag.
Today news of his death in battle
#SlavaUkraini #StopRussiaNOW
More trouble for #Russia in the occupied territories reported.

In #Enerhodar, twice in the early hours this morning, small drones dropped bombs on the former #Ukraine Intelligence office (SBU), now a base for Russians.

#StopPutin #SaveUkraine
I cannot verify this but being reported that the first summonses have been issued by #Russia to soldiers who refused to fight in #Ukraine.

10:00 on 22 July is the time and date of this military hearing.
Very little change in #Ukraine's daily update on #Russia's losses in #PutinsWar.

For example there appears to be no allowance for the strike on Russian bases in Kherson oblast in the counter attack. Reasons?
1) No.of victims unknown
2) Wagner (not RU army) troops
3) Not true
One more photos from #NovayaKakhovka (occupied #Kherson region)

No words needed

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Rockets landing in occupied #Luhansk region.

This is #Stakhanov (Ukr: #Kadiivka) this lunchtime.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
In #Kherson the Resistance movement has been posting this warning around the region:

"Traitors, we see you"
This is the first poster I've seen in Ukrainian instead of Russian.

Thanks to all who contributed for this on #Russia's rush to repair railways in #Ukraine.

Grazie @FBussoletti for helping to shine a little more light on this and the conflict in general.

Lots of news coming in from #Kherson oblast.

I've had a tip off, that I cannot yet corroborate, that "around 50 buses full of Russian troops" have arrived in the city this morning.

There have been strong rumours of conscripts in #Crimea about to be sent to mainland #Ukraine
Still in #Kherson news of a successful operation by #Ukraine's military.

Awaiting verification (photos etc) of this too, but reports say they've freed 5 Ukrainians who were being held captive by Occupiers.
1 soldier, 1 ex-police officer and 3 civilians; one is badly wounded
#Kharkiv - explosions
The first video from the latest Russian missiles to arrive in #Kharkiv in the past half hour.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Reports coming in that Head of autonomous region of North Ossetia may have been injured in #PutinsWar.

Sergei Menyailo is rumoured to be suffering from shell-shocked in #Ukraine
1/2
#RussiaOnFire

Two fires in quick succession in #Krasnodar have raised my eyebrows. On the face of it neither seems unduly suspicious, but the proximity in time and distance makes it noteworthy.

First this warehouse fire in the village of Prigorodny blazed for 4 hours.
2/2
#RussiaOnFire

Then shortly afterwards this blaze in the Paskovsky area of #Krasnodar.

Again a "warehouse fire" and again "cause unknown"
No injuries in either incident.

#StandWithUkraine
That's a lot of dollars... and a lot of silver.

#Ukraine's Intelligence has cracked a scheme to export silver bars and money from #Russia to #Ukraine. They allege the cash (over $3m) was then used for "subversive activities"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Turkiye's announced tomorrow "a meeting of delegations of #Ukraine, @UN and #Russia will be held in Istanbul to solve the grain problem"

#Turkey #Holodomor #StopRussia
Business news from #Russia...

Today the Kremlin has fined Zoom and Ookla while Lego finally cease all trade in and with Russia.
#Russia claims 90 civilians died in #Ukraine's attack on a military base in #NovayaKakhovka

Of course impossible to verify such claims.

#Kherson #StopRussia
#Enerehodar, occupied #Zaporizhzhia region.
Looks like there has been another attack there this afternoon.

This video is from #Russia's own army channel, claiming a kamikaze drone has hit the town.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Another subtle move by #Putin who seems to be terrified of everyone!

The Republic of #Tatarstan used to be a proud semi-autonomous part of #Russia's Federation, with its own language and culture.

Now President Minnikhanov is not allowed to use the word "President" only "Head"
#Donetsk oblast - occupied #Horlivka.

Two people reported to have died in #Ukraine rocket strikes on the town.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
I've replied to a few people about the Russia claim of 90 deaths in #NovayaKakhovka.

Such was the destruction, I'm sure there were deaths, maybe even 90. But many may be due to #Russia's MLRS etc firing off ammo adjacent populated areas.

Local knowledge:
Along with the news of tomorrow's meeting in #Turkiye, this now looks more promising.

#StandWithUkraine

#Donetsk is burning again.

Petrovskyi district of the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Five civilians reported injuries in #Kharkiv today after missiles rained down on the industrial sector of the city.

Now fires are the problem. Six separate blazes and smoke covers the city

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
#ChasivYar - the death toll is now at 41
Russian missiles struck a 5-storey residential block on Sunday. The village is near #Bakhmut in the free part of #Donetsk oblast.

There's a new video on the state Facebook page below.

facebook.com/MNS.GOV.UA/vid…
I've found this video which I assume is connected with the tip off I had about hundreds of troops arriving in #Kherson.

This video is on vul.Ivan Alekseev in #Meltipol on the way to Kherson.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome

#Russia declares it has another budget surplus for the month. Of course it may be fabrication.

However, they are helped by countries like #Brazil which has just said it will buy cheap diesel from the Terrorist State.

#StopRussia
The ex-Mayor of #Melitopol claims residents have told him the HQ of the Occupiers' Ministry of Emergency Situations in the town was on fire.

It's in the the village of Mirny. Many explosions were reported across the town this morning, this a video of one of the columns of smoke.
#Ukraine has now released a video it says is from this successful operation to overcome Occupiers and free five Ukrainians from captivity.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

#Ukraine says it's hit another of the Occupiers' ammo stores. This one is in the village of Charivny, in the northern part of #Kherson region.

No photos of that yet, but I do have a video of this from a little earlier. A railway bridge obliterated near #Lysychansk in #Luhansk
This is the town of #Avdiivka, on the frontline in #Donetsk.

It's held by #Ukraine but locals report shelling "from dawn til dusk"

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
The Governor of #Bryansk region in #Russia says #Ukraine has been shelling them.

He claims "about 18 mortars were fired" on Belaya Berezka village. Not verifiable - no photos/video.

#StopPutin #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Occupiers say the Head of North Ossetia, was NOT injured in #Ukraine.

Sergei Menyailo did come under fire in #Zaporizhzhia but the rockets whistled overhead according to the report. "He was not injured, but slightly shaken"

#StopRussia

In #Luhansk, the puppet government claims it shot down #Ukraine missiles.

But by the look of this video in the village of #Yubileyny, something landed.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Meanwhile #Ukraine's positions under attack in #Bakhmut tonight.

Hello again.
You've found the start of my daily thread on Day 878 of #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's war of choice.

Wherever you may be, enjoy your weekend, but don't forget about freedom and democracy. Ukraine today, another victim next if we don't stop the bully.
#Russia seems to be affected by fire & water problems in equal measure. #Ukraine helps with its drone successes!

It was a busy Friday! Zelenskyy in London, and Russia up to its old tricks, capturing foreign exchange tokens + killing civilians.
Review here
#Russia did attack #Ukraine overnight.
Two main targets were the energy sector and also the railways.

The national energy company confirmed drones attacks in 3 regions, but it seems the damage to the grid is not too bad.

Day 866 of #Russia's war is already underway.

A frightening start to Monday with missiles already entering #Ukraine's airspace.

All the news all the time, all day every day. Welcome to THE daily thread about Europe's war.
In case you missed any, or all, of Sunday's thread, here's the link so you can catch up easily.

Quite a day it was, too, with numerous successful strikes for #Ukraine on #Russia's positions and in the rear.
##SlavaUkraïni

There are 3 groups of Cruise missiles in #Ukraine right now.

Two are heading westwards towards ##Vinnytsia but are likely to change course many more time yet. The third group is still in #Chernihiv region.

Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.

Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.

More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.

Catch up here:

What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.

This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.

This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.

It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Far right MPs?🇺🇦❌🇷🇺✅
Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.

You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.

This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.

Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛

On Saturday there were stories of #Ukraine sinking a ship in #Taganrog.

Now #Russia's independent BAZA reports a barge there was hit and the tugboat "Inzhener Smirnov"

Two crew members are reported injured.

It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.

This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.

All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
First though, your chance to look back on Thursday's news. If you missed anything, click + scroll here:
First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT
