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.

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.

#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?

#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.

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

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

#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

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...

#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

⚡️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.

#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.

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

#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!

Last tweet of the thread is a sobering one.
Let's hope this never happens to any one of us.

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.
