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.

#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.

This is the start of the 145th daily thread telling the news from #Ukraine in one handy thread.

#Russia's aggression continues, but progress is slow.

Updated in real time, you'll see the developments as they happen. If you want to buy me a coffee, see my profile. Thanks!
First, the British update is interesting today.
Grievances between regular soldiers and Wagner, private contractors...

#Russia sees the regular conscripted troops as expendable, but cares absolutely zero about Wagner "employees"
The EU may impose more "lightning sanctions" on #Russia today.

A lot happened yesterday evening - Zelenskyy sacking #Ukraine's two top law enforcement officials.

If you missed it all there's quite a good round up here

Day 144 of #Russia's full scale invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Updates throughout the day as stories unfold in #Ukraine and beyond.
First the British update shows #Russia concerned about #Ukraine's counter attack in the south
#Russia has still not taken total control of #Luhansk region despite the perception.

That's the point being made by #Ukraine's governor for the region. Serhiy Haidai says "two villages in Luhansk remain under 🇺🇦 control. Russians cannot overcome the few kilometres."

DMs open for tip offs.. working as fast as I can!

#StandWithUkraine
Updates may be a little slower/less frequent today as I am driving to London for UK premiére of #Ukraine film #SlovoHouse in Leicester Sq

About artists suppressed under Stalin, it's very relevant now & headlines the closing gala at the @iwilltell festival
1/2
Tomorrow will be 8 years to the day since #Russia blasted passenger jet #MH17 out of the sky. 300 innocents died from numerous countries inc UK, but mainly Dutch; families going on holiday

The Kremlin came up with repeated versions of "what happened" each new story proving..

You're in the right place for all the news that matters, both the battlefield and the politics, as #Russia continues to attack #Ukraine

It's Daily🧵#142 of #PutinsWar

If you want to buy me a coffee, the link's in my profile. Thanks to all who have, I'll write personally ASAP.
Overnight #Russia complained of "an attack" by drones inside its borders. Obviously it blamed #Ukraine + published these photos.

Why Ukraine would choose to fire something tiny at a library in a non-descript town in #Belgorod they couldn't explain!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia closing in on #Siversk in eastern #Ukraine's #Donbas region according to UK Intel.
However the daily update from London highlights more failings of Putin's war machine.

Welcome to the 141st day of Europe's war.

#Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine continues, bringing death and destruction wherever their war crimes take them.

Here's my daily thread with all the important news and analysis.

#StandWithUkraine
Still plenty of missile strikes, rocket attacks across the frontline but the general feeling is that there's been a slight lull on the Russian side the last couple of days.

This is backed up by the British view this morning. Antiquated machinery and no movement in 72 hours.
One person seizing the moment and having a "good war" is President Tokayev of #Kazakhstan.

Today he's told the Kazakh government to "create conditions for the relocation of foreign companies that have left the Russian market."

A further sign of the growing division with #Russia

The 140th daily thread on #Russia's war on #Ukraine is here

I've documented everything since I was in Kyiv just before the invasion.
All for free. No Substack, no subscription.
But it takes a lot of time, research, calls. If you want to buy me a coffee🙏

More depressing news to report first.
The death toll in the #ChasivYar massacre now stands at 47.

A residential block near #Bakhmut in #Donetsk region was struck by a Russian missile at the weekend and rescuers have been painstakingly removing rubble ever since.

#StopRussia Image
Quite a detailed report from Britain's Intelligence this morning. All stuff covered here in this thread previously, which shows I'm doing something right!

This is a fight for freedom in Europe against tyranny and oppression.
