Day 146 of #Russia's war of choice.
You've found the start of the daily thread with the most important news from #Ukraine.

Today, an update from #Odesa, a new hit on Russian forces in #Kherson region and another chapter of #RussiaOnFire.

Read on...

#StandWithUkraine
First, another video from #NovayaKakhovka.

The occupied city in #Kherson oblast has been targeted of late by #Ukraine's long range precision MLRS

#StopRussia
Last night I was reporting the attack on #Odesa.

Head of #Odessa has confirmed 6 injuries, including a child.
7 Cruise missiles were fired by #Russia. One shot down, the others hit a village where 3 houses were destroyed while a school, cultural centre and cars were damaged
#RussiaOnFire

Another mysterious blaze in the far east of #Russia.

Here warehouses burn in #Anadyr in #Chukotka

No injuries reported
Britain's MOD experts highlight just how under strength #Russia now is in its bid to conquer all of #Ukraine.

It increasingly looks like the Kremlin may have to choose between #Donetsk or #Kherson

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
A major bridge in occupied #Kherson has been hit by #Ukraine's armed forces.

The #Antonivskyy (RU: Antonovskiy) spans the Dnipro river and is the shortest route for the occupiers to reach the city from #Crimea.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
As well as hitting the big bridge in #Kherson, it's thought #Ukraine struck again near the #Chornobaivka airfield. Smoke was seen rising in the area.

#Russia says all but one missiles were shot down, so it's possible this was debris as rockets went overhead.
At least one civilian has been killed as rockets rained down on central #Kramatorsk this lunchtime.

Nearby #Sloviansk is also reported to have been hit

This is #Kramatorsk

#Donetsk #Donbas #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
#Sloviansk seems to have received more than one grad from across the frontline.

Here's how the skyline looks right now in the city in #Donetsk oblast.

#Kramatorsk again - photos from the scene of the explosion where a rocket looks to have hit residential buildings in the centre.

New video from #Sloviansk - no details on the damage there yet.

#SaveUkraine #StopPutinsWar
Just had an update from Head of #Sloviansk.

Vadim Lyakh confirms there are wounded, "private houses were damaged. People are under the rubble."

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Another 45 bodies of fallen soldiers have been returned to #Ukraine in an exchange.

It's likely around 500 have now been repatriated from behind enemy lines.
Over 10,000 Ukrainians are being detained in #Mariupol

That's what #Ukraine's mayor Vadym Boychenko told a news briefing. "There are filtration centres in the city and just outside. All four were working all this time. And, unfortunately, they captured more than 10,000 locals."
No date on this, but #Ukraine's released a video of its National Guard "Special Unit" along with paratroopers, destroying a group of Russian soldiers near #Sloviansk .

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia

Meanwhile in its evening summary, #Ukraine's General staff reports inflicting more "heavy losses" on #Russia's forces in Donetsk region , but this cannot be verified.

Ukraine says the invaders paid for failed offensives in Hryhorivka, Spirnyi and Ivano-Daryivka.
#Putin has been meeting #Erdogan in Iran - ostensibly to talk about release of grain from #Ukraine ports.

Russia has already been stealing and exporting grain, via Turkey, from the occupied regions of Ukraine.
#Russia announces it has captured the village of #Staromaiorske in #Donetsk.

It's quite near the state borders with #Zaporizhzhia and #Dnipropetrovsk.
I cannot verify the claim.
Severe damage to a residential block in #Siversk in #Donetsk region.

Smoke and fire still billow out of upper storey windows.

#StandWithUkraine
It's now known that two people died after the shelling of residential apartments in #Sloviansk earlier.

The Russian attack destroyed a building and two bodies were discovered under the rubble.

1/2

#China has at times seemed to try to stay "neutral" i.e. not offend #Russia or #Ukraine, but finally what many suspected as the country's FM comes down firmly on the side of the aggressor, Putin.

As always one has to wonder at what China wants with such statements...
2/2

#China's FM spokesman Zhao Lijian:
“On #Ukraine, China takes an objective + fair position and stands on the side of peace & justice. The US is the main cause of the crisis in Ukraine & should therefore deeply reflect on its erroneous actions + stop creating a new cold war.”
#Ukraine reports downing a Russian fighter jet.

It follows clashes near #NovayaKakhovka this evening. An anti aircraft missile hit the jet.

This information is not yet verified.
More weapons, including HIMARS, coming to #Ukraine from the U.S. soon said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

He also confirmed they believe #Russia is "laying the groundwork for the annexation of Ukrainian territory, to install illegitimate proxy officials in occupied areas."
In occupied #Horlivka (#Donetsk region) it looks, and sounds, like Russian air defence is working

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Now a video believed to show the smouldering wreckage of #Russia's jet which was shot down today in #Kherson oblast.

And here's the spectacular moment the Russian plane fell to the ground.

#Kherson #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
No photos or videos (yet), but apparently #Russia fired on #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) again this evening.

The regional admin says the only sign was a small fire in a warehouse which was quickly extinguished.

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 Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

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.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

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
Another milestone is reached.

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. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

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. Image

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..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
