Welcome to Day 143 of #PutinsWar.
This daily thread aims to tell you everything you need to know about developments of #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine and the heroic defence to keep 🇺🇦 free.

DMs open for tip offs.. working as fast as I can!

#StandWithUkraine
Updates may be a little slower/less frequent today as I am driving to London for UK premiére of #Ukraine film #SlovoHouse in Leicester Sq

About artists suppressed under Stalin, it's very relevant now & headlines the closing gala at the @iwilltell festival
1/2
Tomorrow will be 8 years to the day since #Russia blasted passenger jet #MH17 out of the sky. 300 innocents died from numerous countries inc UK, but mainly Dutch; families going on holiday

The Kremlin came up with repeated versions of "what happened" each new story proving..
2/2
the previous version was a lie. All #Russia's versions of what happened to #MH17 were callous lies to deflect the fact it murdered 300

Certainly similarities this week in #Vinnytsia where over 20 civilians died, Russia so far came up with 3 versions

Y'day evening was horrendous with multiple #Ukraine cities attacked.
The worst was in #Dnipro - casualty figures have not been updated from last night's 3 dead, 15 injured.
A lot of photos/videos on y'day's thread, plus other attacks inc here #Kramatorsk

This morning, already a missile has hit #Odesa on #Ukraine's south coast.

Regional Head Serhiy Bratchuk says a warehouse was hit leading to this fire, but no casualties as everyone was inside air raid shelters.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Another town to be hit today is #Nikopol in south of #Ukraine, on the banks of the Dnipro/Dnieper river.

Kyiv says it has proof #Russia strikes Nikopol with rocket systems at the NUCLEAR POWER PLANT in #Enerhodar.

Two injured after grads hit 12 five-storey buildings and schools
The UK Intel report outlines how hard it is for #Russia to make further advances against a predominantly straight front line for the most at risk areas in #Donbas.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Photo journalists from @suspilne_news have been back to the residential street in #Dnipro which was hit by a missile from #Russia yesterday evening.

It's thought two of the three who died were in vehicles
Still on the attack in #Dnipro some remarkable footage this morning showing how close the city came to avoiding the death and destruction, and how difficult it is to intercept #Russia's missiles.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
#Kharkiv region was another place to come under fire from #Russia last night, although it happens almost every night.

Here in #Chuhuiv (RU: #Chuguev), three people died and three more were hospitalised.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
As reported earlier in the thread, #Odesa came under fire this morning - I've now found a video taken shortly after the subsequent fires broke out.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Vinnytsia was hit a couple of days ago, #Russia responsible for 23 deaths.

A new video shows the devastation in the centre of the mid-west city.

In occupied #Donetsk they also report rocket attacks and at least one death.

This strike on an apartment block in the Petrovsky district of the city

#Donbas #Donbass #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A bus was also damaged in #Donetsk in the same strike on the Petrovskyi area of the city.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
In the free part of #Ukraine 8 more civilians died in the last 24 hours, as detailed in this map from the #Kyiv government.

Numbers from occupied areas are not known. Similarly, the totals given on this graphic don't include the likely 10s of thousands of victims in #Mariupol
Also in the free part of #Donetsk, regional Head, Pavel Kirilenko published these photos from #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

He says “This morning, the occupiers destroyed houses in the private sector with rockets, attacked industrial facilities”

#StopRussia
They must be getting short of Cannon fodder... Oops I mean soldiers.

#Belarus #Russia #RussiaKillsCivilians

Thx @VelvetBlade for spotting this.

"Leave #Sumy" - that's the plea from mayor Oleksandr Lysenko.

"Avoid large gatherings of people and do not ignore the air alert. If there is an opportunity to leave the city, do it. Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you should pay a lot of attention to your safety."
A large column of Russian equipment was spotted in #Mariupol, heading towards #Zaporizhzhia.

Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the city, reported the movement of 100 units of military equipment.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
A 24th person has died as a result of the #Vinnytsia attack.

All rubble has now been cleared from the site of the explosion. Three people were rescued alive from the wreckage today. One person remains unaccounted for.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
I try to report both sides, but cut the crap and obvious fakes. To give you an idea of what #Russia is claiming, they say in the last 2 days they've killed 600 #Ukraine troops in the battle for #Seversk alone. Plus another 200 in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev

Fanciful figures!
A rocket has landed in #Cherkasy region of central #Ukraine.

No further details yet.
#Cherkassy #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Occupied #Donetsk is still being struck, presumably by #Ukraine here. The colour of the smoke means a high probability of a military target.

This is in the Leninskyi part of the city, which has avoided moat of the missiles so far.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine️
#Russia says the attack on #Dnipro last night destroyed "workshops for the production of components and the repair of "Tochka-U" and MLRS"

Seems they forgot to mention the missile that landed in a street killing civilians. Strange that!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The UK premiere of "Slovo House" not far away. Red carpet being rolled out soon.
I'm in Leicester Square #London for the event at the @Iwilltell film festival and Q&A. We are filming for Ukraine news channels and hopefully a future documentary about the film

#StandWithUkraine️
#SlovoHouse, the award winning Ukrainian film is getting its British premiere right now. The last night of the @Iwilltell film festival in London is the "Peace Gala"
Director of #SlovoHouse Taras Tomenko says "this film was made before the full invasion, as a warning of what happened 100 years ago and may happen again, and it did happen again."

#StopRussia
The former Head of #Ukraine's Security Service in #Crimea has been arrested.

No details on charges or where he was detained, but it's clear Oleh Kilinich is considered a traitor.

Good morning world! It's Day 1281, so it must be thread number 1281 (4205 since the start of the Crimea invasion)

Every day documenting the news, without gratuitous gore, and the war crimes as Russia continues its unprovoked all-out war against a sovereign neighbour.
If you missed anything on Tuesday, it's simple to catch up. Just click this link for the start of yesterday's thread and scroll down to where you last read and then continue reading through to the end.
But remember to come back here!

A few people are asking about my health after my emergency trip to hospital.

I feel ok, and the eye is no worse, which is good news I think. Follow-up appointment in just over a week.

I've been given the ok to fly today - which will mean no updates later on in today's thread.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth

Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage
