#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.
This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.
Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120
Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.
Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.
I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:
It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK
Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)
#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliation
Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.
This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.
As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?
Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.
If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:
1/2 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.
Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
