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.

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!
1/3
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

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.
