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.

Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.

I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.

But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

We fight a constant battle against X censorship, so please share, spread, recommend valued accounts and check if you or friends have been unfollowed from favourite people/accs.

76 out of 76 - a 100% record for #Ukraine defenders of the skies.

During the night (and morning) none of #Russia's 76 attack drones hit targets according to Air Defence command.

72 were shot down, 2 disappeared and 2 more went home to #Russia.

There was some damage though... Image

Hi there. It's Day 933 of #Ukraine's defence after the full invasion by #Russia.

Each day, all the big news is here in one place, updated throughout the day.

Scroll through yesterday's thread here:
Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.

It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.

🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.

#RussiansGOHOME

#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!

State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet. Image

Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.

Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.

So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.

We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin

Hello again and welcome to Sunday's thread on the first day of September. This is the 32nd month which has seen fighting since #Russia chose to invade its peaceful neighbour.

All the news from, and about #Ukraine in one place, updated throughout the day, every day. It's Day 921
Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home

Here's the link for y'day's news
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.

The Kremlin says over 150 drones were shot down in the biggest Ukraine UAV attack of the war.

Details to follow.. Image

Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.

The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.

Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
Before the end of yesterday's thread I wrote about deaths in #KryvyiRih, and there have been more innocent civilians killed this morning.

Around 30 killer drones and another mix of cruise, ballistic and Kindzhal (Dagger) missiles have all been fired at #Ukraine by #Russia.

A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.

This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.

Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack

#Ukraine is on edge right now with a possible big missile attack about to happen.

Monitors reported #Russia launching bombs, and the first 4 missiles are reportedly already in southern Ukraine.
