Welcome to the 141st day of Europe's war.

#Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine continues, bringing death and destruction wherever their war crimes take them.

Here's my daily thread with all the important news and analysis.

#StandWithUkraine
Still plenty of missile strikes, rocket attacks across the frontline but the general feeling is that there's been a slight lull on the Russian side the last couple of days.

This is backed up by the British view this morning. Antiquated machinery and no movement in 72 hours.
One person seizing the moment and having a "good war" is President Tokayev of #Kazakhstan.

Today he's told the Kazakh government to "create conditions for the relocation of foreign companies that have left the Russian market."

A further sign of the growing division with #Russia
Not much detail was known about the agreement reached in #Turkiye to allow #Ukraine grain to leave big ports on the south.

The @WSJ reports Ukraine must partially clear ports and approaches to get the ceasefire for tankers.
Kyiv was worried de-mining exposed #Odesa to invasion.
Speaking of #Turkiye/#Turkey, it's being reported the country is "already in the process of joining BRICS"

That's the alliance built up by growing markets, some would say western-sceptics (🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳)

#Egypt and #SaudiArabia may also be joining
The big military news in #Ukraine this morning is the attack on #Mykolaiv. Casualties as yet unknown

The southern city seems to have been singled out by #Russia this week. Today 9 rockets hit, targets included a shopping centre, hotel & two "educational institutions"

#Nikolaev
Here's another video from #Mykolaiv, showing in a bit more detail the damage to the entertainment/shopping centre in the city. It's right opposite the hotel which was badly hit.

#Nikolaev #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Cuedos to @Coldplay for supporting #Ukraine.

Last night Chris Martin took the stage with 🇺🇦flag and invited children's choir 'Colour Music' from Dnipro to join the band on stage

#SaveUkraine #StandWithUkraine
#Kherson - it's reported there was an explosion near in the east of the occupied region.

Fields are burning say locals, maybe something else was hit?

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This is the moment a Russian missile smashed into a school in #Mykolaiv this morning.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Nikolaev
#Ukraine's emergency services have now released their own video of the scene of #Russia's attack in #Mykolaiv in southern #Ukraine this morning.

Still no word on casualties from the multi-rocket attack in #Nikolaev

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
We do know the number of people injured in yesterday's attack on #Zaporizhzhia has risen to 16

#StopRussiaNOW #Zaporozhe #SaveUkraine

#Russia has also attacked the central-western city of #Vinnytsia today.

Largely untroubled by the war until this morning, there is now devastation in the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
#Vinnytsia - already emergency services have recovered 12 bodies from the scene of #Russia's latest massacre of the innocents.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
The first few moments after the first Russian missile hit the centre of #Vinnytsia.

Some say as many as four missiles may have landed.
As well as 12 who have been killed, at least 25 are injured but the figures seem certain to rise.

Another civilian massacre by #Russia
The news gets worse and worse I'm afraid from #Vinnytsia.

17 dead, 50 seriously wounded, many with life threatening injuries, and maybe still more bodies under rubble.

It's the latest in a series of strikes this week deliberately targeting civilians by #Russia
#Vinnytsia 14 July 2022.
#Russia did this.
Now 20 known to have died.

#WarCrimesofRussia #SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#ChasivYar #Mykolaiv now #Vinnytsia just this week.
100 dead. Deliberate attacks on civilians. Multiple missiles & rockets. They are NOT due to unguided weapons, they are NOT accidents, they are intentional attacks on ordinary people, likely because #Putin is angered by HIMARS
Among the victims in #Vinnytsia today is a member of the team of one of #Ukraine's up and coming singers.

#Roxolana gained fame through reality TV shows and was due to give a concert in the central-western city this evening. She announced the news on her Instagram page.
#Ukraine says the terrorist crime on #Vinnytsia today came from a Calibre missile fired from the Black Sea.

It's the latest in a recent string of hits direct on civilians by #Russia.

The scale of the tragedy is clear in this video from the emergency services
#StopRussia
Away from the massacre at #Vinnytsia, there's been another strike on Russian resources in occupied #Kherson oblast.

A repair base and ammunition store has been hit in the village of #Daryevka

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

There's a huge row over a shelling in #Donetsk.

A rocket landed near the bus station in the centre of the occupied city. There are dead and wounded, but the numbers have not been given yet.

There's suspicion over the attack...

#StopRussia #Ukraine
2/3

#Ukraine says its' weapons are now precision and take out only high value military targets.

This official post points out numerous things:

⚡️Pro film crews, were on the scene in #Donetsk within seconds, as if pre-warned

⚡️When🇺🇦 hits other targets there are no cameras
3/3
⚡️The attack on civilians in #Donetsk came soon after they saw worldwide reaction to the massacre in #Vinnytsia. An attempt to deflect and justify war crimes.

#Ukraine is adamant it did not cause this scene.

* GRAPHIC VIDEO *

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine held #Kostiantynivka has also been shelled again today.

(RU: #Konstantinovka) has been hit a lot recently, being very near the frontline.
#Donetsk's so called "government" says 2 people died and three were injured in the strike on the central bus station in the occupied territory.

* WARNING * another graphic video here of injured on a bus.

#SaveUkraine
#Russia has its excuse for the #Vinnytsia massacre

"#Ukraine was using offices as barracks"
Their proof is a map, a few arrows, & during a time of Martial Law, after a disaster, there were armed guys in uniform!

If that's true they had intel, so why no video BEFORE the attack?
#Russia has been busy "denazifying" more crops in #Ukraine.

Locals report six missiles landing near #Bashtanka, which is about 60-70km north-east of #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) - fields are ablaze.

#FoodWars #Holodomor #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Earlier in #Mykolaiv many cars were damaged when a missile struck a parking lot.

A 4 metre crater was left at the place of impact.
A number of #Nikolaev's trolleybuses were also hit by the Russian shelling.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
#Vinnytsia. The figures this evening.

23 people died, including 3 children.

67 are hospitalised, 3 more are children.

117 people needed treatment.

29 people are still missing.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
In #Radensk in #Kherson region, explosions reported and smoke visible in the horizon

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Kherson region again has "unexplained" fires.

This is #Zelenovka, just north of #Kherson city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#RussiaOnFire

Two days ago I reported in the thread about two fires in #Krasnodar in a matter of hours. Neither explainable though not obviously sabotage.

Well this evening another one

#Ukraine says hundreds of pilgrims as well as local residents are holed up inside the holy #Sviatohirsk Lavra.

The town's regularly pounded by Russian artillery.
Around 600 are thought to be sheltering in the caves

t.me/DIUkraine/888
#Ukraine has some amazing street art ... the jury's out on this one in #Odesa though.

It's apparently @BorisJohnson in cat form (don't think Larry would approve). Don't ask me why! I have no answers!

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Last tweet of the thread is a sobering one.
Let's hope this never happens to any one of us.
#Vinnytsia coffee shop

We owe it to the people of #Ukraine to keep this in the headlines, to press politicians to keep up the support against tyranny.
I hope you sleep soundly and safely.

A very bright and warm good morning to you, on Day 1231 of Russia's war of choice

Putin's choice to invade a sovereign, peaceful neighbour, to ruin the economy, to send hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to die

Is the tide about to turn? Here's THE daily thread on Ukraine
Well 2 days ago I was optimistic, and today that optimism is borne out.

But first, let's backtrack to yesterday, and in among the forehands and backhands, I still managed to produce a good thread with a Pimms or two🎾

An awful lot of people criticised me (well, I picked up a lot of bots and Kremlin stooges too) for saying that the Donald would backtrack.

But I read the runes and I was correct. Trump has unequivocally promised more weapons for Ukraine.

I think among Ukraine watchers there is a bit of positivity.

It's thread + Day 1229 of the full invasion of🇺🇦, ordered by a now indicted war criminal.

I'll tell you about my renewed optimism during today's 🧵so let's start the Sunday show..
As always (unless I forget!), here's the link to the start of the previous day's news round-up.
It was a 22 (yes, twenty-two) hour marathon.

So the least you can do is read it all 😂😇
.. or send me a KoFi💙💛

I'll start with very recent news as there's been another big attack in daylight hours.

Shortly before 10am, Russian drones hit another military recruitment centre, this time in Kremenchuk.

Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image
