#Kharkiv was attacked again overnight - the city and the region.
Two multi storey apartment blocks suffered damage from shelling as well as #Chuhuiv and numerous other villages.
Police report no injuries and released these photos of helping locals. #StopRussia
"For #Vinnytsia Day 4" - the message scrawled on #Ukraine's Air Force missiles.
They claim in the last 24 hours they've killed at least 35 Russian soldiers at a command and observation post of a company, a platoon base and 2 dozen pieces of equipment.
The General Staff said they had struck in NK with HIMARS, but there was no evidence. I think this is a new video (Novaya Kakhovka was also hit last week)
Formerly known as #Dzerzhynsk (still the name in Russian), it looks as though it's been shelled as smoke rises. #StandWithUkraine
After a relatively quiet frontline for a couple of days, there's little change to the total losses suffered by #Russia's army.
However, #Ukraine still estimates 150 soldiers killed y'day. It looks as though the death of 40,000 regular troops will be reached around 30-31 July
Very distressing for his family - video of the latest British Prisoner of War. It's impossible to know if this was under coercion, which is a #WarCrime
John Harding pleads to the PM to help. It's obviously illegal to execute, or threaten to execute, POWs
250 foreign fighters, 7 armoured vehicles, 12 special vehicles destroyed in one attack on #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka) where 100s still shelter in the sacred Lavra.
10 MLRS + 2 helicopters supposedly hit too.
NO PROOF!!
A little political news from #Ukraine regarding the President's controversial "sackings"
It emerged overnight his action may be unconstitutional; even in Martial Law he's supposed to submit his will to the Parliament.
So now Venediktova & Bakanov miraculously now only 'removed'
The (unholy) head of Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill could've been speaking about himself, supposedly it was about 'the west'
"In our evil age, there are many ways to crush people, deprive them of national identity, their faith and deprive them of a sense of patriotism
Not connected to the war, but interesting news in #Russia
Zalim Kerefov, Vice-rector of an academy which trains Customs Officials, has reportedly killed himself in prison, leaving a suicide note admitting his crimes
He was arrested on suspicion of trafficking the drug mephedrone
In #Mykolaiv a car showroom was wrecked when a missile landed just outside.
OMG Russians are insane!
Yet again pushing the *secret/dangerous/illegal bio-labs
"In Pentagon supervised bio-labs in #Ukraine, there were leaks" says Rada Dep.Chair Irina Yarovaya
"This partly explains the growth of epidemics in Ukraine
* delete as appropriate depending on day
Oops!
One of #Russia's Mi-8 helicopters has had an "unorthodox landing" in Gatchina, about 40km south of St Petersburg.
The National Guard chopper is badly damaged but 3 on board survived.
#Russia highly sophisticated army, feared throughout the world, invaded #Ukraine with maps 50 years out of date🤣🤣
#Ukraine Intelligence released a photo of maps they found in the invaders' belongings along with an up to date map showing the differences around #Kharkiv
Revenge is a dish best served from a fridge?
In a film by journalist Irina Shikhman about the parents of a dead soldier from #Russia's Irkutsk region, their fridge has a guarantee sticker written in Ukrainian - highly likely among the goods stolen by the horde.
The Swedish clothing group is selling off stock before leaving. Only 4 months too late - wonder how much they contributed to #Putin's war chest and war crimes before deciding to leave?
More on the #Ukraine fridge which ended up 1000s of km away in #Irkutsk in the family of a dead Russian soldier.
Here's the photo evidence and here's the link for the full video
Russians have destroyed another 5,000 tonnes of grain by hitting a storage warehouses in #Dnipro
Regional Head Valentyn Reznichenko says it happened in the Synelnyki district. "Another blow hit a school. The facade and roof were damaged, more than 50 windows were broken."
Another big hit for #Ukraine in occupied #Kherson region I think.
Spectacular sight in #Beryslav, a small town on the banks of the Dnipro river, close to #NovayaKakhovka.
Locals say it's a Russian base.
The Soviet league is a step closer - no doubt Putin's dream!
#Russia's sports minister has proposed a league for teams from "friendly republics" i.e. all those banned from competing. He also included #Donetsk, #Luhansk and #Kherson in the fantasy.
Some Russian news agencies are reporting that #Siversk has been captures by the invaders.i don't believe that's true from my information. There is still heavy atreet fighting in the city itself.
The #UN says there's no agreement yet for #Ukraine to export grain via the Black Sea.
As so often, #Russia gained great PR in 'allowing' food to leave port, but the reality proves different.
Spokesman for the Sec. General, said "little progress had been made on the grain issue."
This was when explosions happened near the Hydro Electric plant in #NovayaKakhovka a little earlier.
Not sure if this is anything of relevance, but given the location thought I'd mention it. It's in Chaplynka near #Kakhovka. Something is burning and armoured vehicles trundle to and fro.
Continuing Putin's attempt to turn the clock back to the time of the Soviet Union, the special operation to recreate the Holodomor genocide is going according to plan.
Only info I am getting from #Odesa right now is from local chat sites.
Reports there of 3 missiles, one, maybe 2 in the city and one in the wider region. Some are confident at least one of the explosions was a missile being shot down.
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:
Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.
There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.
Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.
Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence
