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.

Day 144 of #Russia's full scale invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Updates throughout the day as stories unfold in #Ukraine and beyond.
First the British update shows #Russia concerned about #Ukraine's counter attack in the south Image
#Russia has still not taken total control of #Luhansk region despite the perception.

That's the point being made by #Ukraine's governor for the region. Serhiy Haidai says "two villages in Luhansk remain under 🇺🇦 control. Russians cannot overcome the few kilometres."

You're in the right place for all the news that matters, both the battlefield and the politics, as #Russia continues to attack #Ukraine

It's Daily🧵#142 of #PutinsWar

If you want to buy me a coffee, the link's in my profile. Thanks to all who have, I'll write personally ASAP.
Overnight #Russia complained of "an attack" by drones inside its borders. Obviously it blamed #Ukraine + published these photos.

Why Ukraine would choose to fire something tiny at a library in a non-descript town in #Belgorod they couldn't explain!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia closing in on #Siversk in eastern #Ukraine's #Donbas region according to UK Intel.
However the daily update from London highlights more failings of Putin's war machine.

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

The 140th daily thread on #Russia's war on #Ukraine is here

I've documented everything since I was in Kyiv just before the invasion.
All for free. No Substack, no subscription.
But it takes a lot of time, research, calls. If you want to buy me a coffee🙏

More depressing news to report first.
The death toll in the #ChasivYar massacre now stands at 47.

A residential block near #Bakhmut in #Donetsk region was struck by a Russian missile at the weekend and rescuers have been painstakingly removing rubble ever since.

#StopRussia Image
Quite a detailed report from Britain's Intelligence this morning. All stuff covered here in this thread previously, which shows I'm doing something right!

This is a fight for freedom in Europe against tyranny and oppression.

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.

The 138th daily thread on #Russia's war of choice starts here.

Real signs in the last few days that #Ukraine has levelled the playing (combat) field with the arrival of long range artillery.

Even as I type rockets seem to be landing in Russian held territory. Read on...⬇️
Just 2 hours ago, at the end of yesterday's thread, I reported on explosions again in occupied #NovayaKakhovka where #Russia suffered heavy losses earlier on Sunday.

Now reports of more rockets landing in #Kherson. Yesterday evening #Ukraine pledged to regain land in the south.
1/2
Now a puzzle for you.. Just what is being transported on trains in huge quantities through #Russia?
Missiles/rockets? Logs? Rolled sheet metal? All suggested so far.

Great work @CarolynnePries1 to capture these from a webcam.
This is Uzlovaya, about 230km south of Moscow
