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.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinsWar
#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.

It's Day 1266 of Russia's full invasion.

Even the most ardent peaceniks are realising one side doesn't want to stop fighting. At least until, as a state new agency said recently, all Ukrainians are killed.

Each + every day you'll find all the news here in one handy🧵
Let's go!
If you missed anything of yesterday's developments, well not as much to catch up on.

Click the link to review, things only really started going late at night..

Trying to compile threads on a train, using mobile only so far, is a nightmare. My first typo was rather important. It's Day 1256, so the observant don't need to message me 😊

Family day out today, going to see "Evita"
But always a thread and as up to date as I can be.

"White rabbits" is what I have to say to you this morning.

An old British custom is to say 'rabbits' or 'white rabbits' (often 3 times) at the start of a new month to ensure good luck for the month ahead

August is the 43rd month of Russia's war.
Today is Day 1255. Here's the🧵
Yesterday was a depressing day.
Not just Russia's horrific attacks on Kyiv, but the general lack of response and condemnation. The world just shrugs its shoulders.

We are better than this.

Review what you missed yesterday here:

2 weeks ago I said things could move quickly on air defence. One system had reportedly already been delivered to Ukraine

Remember Switzerland's order was bumped down to give priority to🇺🇦?
Now Germany says 2 more Patriots will be sent by October, starting with launchers in days

Day 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.
