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
#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."

#StopRussia
Details have been given on the rocket attack on #Cherkasy.

Relatively few missiles have hit this central #Ukraine city, but yesterday evening, in the Chhyryn district of #Cherkassy Oblast, the govt says "an agricultural enterprise" was hit.

#StandWithUkraine️
Attack on #Zaporizhzhia. Several explosions reported in the city between 2-3pm.

Local officials say it was from Russian rocket launchers, but no reports of casualties and initial reports say no infrastructure was destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
In the new #USSR - sorry #Russia - ex President, Putin's poodle Dmitry Medvedev continues his campaign to replace his master.

The latest "strong words" from sleepy Dima came today when he claimed “NATO’s refusal to recognize Crimea as Russian could lead to a “direct attack”
Earlier another strike on #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv region. (RU: ~Chuguev)

A deadly attack here the night before last but this time no major damage it seems.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Ukraine police in #Kharkiv have released pictures this afternoon of last night's shelling on the city.

The north-eastern city continues to receive heavy bombardment almost every day.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine claims a 19 year old conscript with the National Guard has shot down a 6th Russian jet.

The latest Su-25 was reportedly taken down with a MANPAD. 24 hours earlier the National Guard claim he's hit a cruise missile.

One of #Ukraine's well-connected media is reporting Russian-on-Russian shootout in #Zaporizhzhia region.

It's alleged ethnic Buryats and Chechens argued while drunk and there were wounded and dead after the fight in #Tokmak

#Zaporozhe #StopRussia

A few more shells peppering #Donetsk today.
This just to the south of the centre of the occupied city.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
And recently in #Donetsk this has been posted online.

Seems like something hit the Budennovsky district of the city in #Donbas

#StopPutin #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
News of another British man being held captive in #Russia or its proxies.

John Harding was a combat medic with #Ukraine's National Guard, but Russian media is portraying him as a member of the Azov battalion, which they love to hate.

#StopRussia

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-621951…
Contract soldiers from the Republic of #Buryatia in #Russia have revealed how they were locked up in #Luhansk with just one meal a day after refusing to fight on the frontline.

zona.media/news/2022/07/1…
In its evening update, #Ukraine's General Staff claims it's again pushed back attempted surges by #Russia's forces in #Donetsk.

They say Russia was repulsed in #Sloviansk & #Bakhmut and that losses were inflicted on the enemy, but this cannot be verified

facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…
If you steal a phone in a war zone, never a good idea to take selfies at a murder + war-crime scene.

But that's just what one of #Russia's horde did in #Ukraine. The 20yo deleted the photos but files were restored and the soldier's now been identified

slidstvo.info/news/znajshly-…
The "Day of Metalworkers" was celebrated in #Mariupol today.
The occupying Russians put on free concerts with impressive crowds (not known if Russians were bused in from #Crimea)
The last photo shows an orchestra playing in front of the Palace of Metalworkers, destroyed by Russia
Sometimes I think #Russia can't really be this stupid, then I see something else which reminds me they can be!

#StopRussiaNOW

 More controversy in #Ukraine politics this evening with the dismissal of two more high profile figures by President @ZelenskyyUa

The big surprise is the sacking of @VenediktovaIV as Prosecutor General. She's replaced by her Deputy, Oleksiy Symonenko. No reason was given.
2/2
 ... More predictable is the sacking of Ivan Bakanov as Head of #Ukraine's Security Service.

It was rumoured Zelenskyy was unhappy with a reported series of failed operations and poor results in #Kherson

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
As I mentioned yesterday - spare a though today for the victims, and families of victims, of the #MH17 massacre.

On 17 July 2014 the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet was shot down by #Russia over the occupied part of #Ukraine.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reasons have now been given by #Ukraine's President on why he's sacked the Prosecutor General @VenediktovaIV.

Translation⬇️
Many questions arise:
Are all these since 24 Feb?
Venediktova was in office 23 months before the war - enough time to root out & sack the 60 traitors?
Heartening scenes in #Mykolaiv today when the people of #Odesa brought 7 tonnes of humanitarian aid to their fellow Ukrainians

600 #Nikolaev residents each received packages of food/water/medicines

As aid was handed out, a small open-air concert was held.

Head of #Odesa region, Serhiy Bratchuk, reports more strikes on Russian bases with HIMARS

He claims hits were successful on Lazurne in #Kherson oblast and #Alchevsk & #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov) in #Luhansk region

Video from Alchevsk on Luhansktoday TG channel

#StandWithUkraine
Force diplomacy?
So if🇷🇺occupies Wales and all of SW England, we should stop fighting & say ok, give back English counties and you keep Wales?
You clearly do not learn from history.
Do you realise you are shilling for Putin?
To save lives, force Russia out
What's the time? Could it be #Chornobaivka time again? (see next Tweet)

#Chernobaevka #Чернобаевка #ХерсонцеУкраїна
Something is burning in #Chornobaivka, in #Kherson region. A lot of air defence activity by the look of it.

#StandWithUkraine
#Chernobaevka #Чернобаевка #ХерсонцеУкраїна
Head of #Kursk region in #Russia reports clashes on the border with #Sumy

"Our military began to carry out a 'special military operation' combat mission on the border in Glushkovsky district"

Meanwhile a sawmill mysteriously caught fire in Kursk - Russians say it's unconnected!
Disappointing new for #Chornobaivka fans!

Local chat sites say it looks like a rocket was shot down by air defence. Fragments have set fire to a field in the area.

Unconfirmed reports of more HIMARS strikes on #Kadiivka (RU: Stakhanov) again tonight.

Supposedly someone in the #Luhansk so called government has confirmed 2 missiles have landed in the town.

Good morning and I hope you are all well.

Yes, I'm back again for another daily thread, with all the important news from Ukraine and Russia in one handy thread, every single day.

DMs open for your tip-offs; please help to keep Ukraine in the news, share, re-post, reply etc.
So, Day 1303 gets underway, but first the link back to 1302 and Wednesday's news feed.

A lot of stuff covered, but forgive me for my favourite moment being the British King lecturing a wannabe king about support for Ukraine.

Only a 65% success rate for Ukraine's air defence last night.

75 drones were launched by Russia, initially at eastern areas, then attacking Kyiv later in the night.
One UAV is still flying, of the others, Ukraine brought down 48.

Hits occurred in 6 places according to Ukraine. Image

Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.

For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).

Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.

Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:

2-3 weeks ago, Russia started copying Ukraine's attacks on railway infrastructure and is having success.

At night, Ukrzaliznytsia substations were hit, causing power losses firing the rail network.

Over 20 passenger trains were on affected routes, but there are no casualties. Image

Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.

A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.

Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.

 First though a breaking news after a number of morning attacks by Russia, particularly in Kyiv region.

This is in the town of Fastiv where a logistics centre for the electronic retail company EpiCentre (EpiTsentr).

Residents are warned of potential air pollution. Image

Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.

Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.

Here's Monday's daily🧵
If you were busy over the weekend, click the link to see all Sunday's stories.

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries

The overnight bombardment from Russia remained lower than usual, although 84 drones and 3 S-300 missiles caused a fair bit of damage on 'soft' targets

With 59 UAVs stopped, that's a 70% success rate.
None of the missiles was intercepted either

The 28 hits occurred in 13 places Image

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

 At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image
