#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.
A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.
With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.
Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv
Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.
From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.
Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.
Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.
I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets
Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.
It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill.
No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.
It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.
Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region
Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.
Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack.
Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine
Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial
More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.
I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..
