Let's get Day 147 underway.
Almost 5 months since #PutinsWar on #Ukraine began and I've been documenting everything since I was in #Kyiv just before the first bombs dropped.
If you like the free, handy daily threads and can afford to buy me a coffee, please see my profile page.
Impossible to verify, but #Ukraine's 58th Motorise Infantry Brigade says it wiped out an entire group of #Russia's Wagner military contractors.
The General Staff would only say this happened "on the front line" and published photos of the badges and some Russian bodies:
Each evening almost a constant stream of missiles from #Russia heading in to #Ukraine.
Another 200 regular #Russian army troops have died on the killings fields on #Ukraine in the last 24 hours. All for the ego of a very small man in Moscow.
Also an unusually high 10 drones were downed yesterday.
However traffic is still able to cross despite the strike, but military vehicles are not being risked by #Russia.
Repair work is already underway by the occupiers.
Still in #Kherson, it seems there's a lot of concern from the occupiers.
Loads of equipment and military on the move, more checkpoints, stringent checking of all electronic equipment (phones, tablets) and reportedly electronic surveillance via mobile networks.
Meanwhile, more and more examples of #Russia burning crops in #Ukraine.
The new #Holodomor continues. Food is a weapon for Putin.
In recent days, more than 230 hectares of wheat was destroyed in the Berislav and Henichesk districts of #Kherson.
But, #Turkiye's President says he expects a deal on the export of grain from #Ukraine in days.
Erdogan "I have several times discussed this issue with Mr Putin + Mr Zelenskyy. Last week in Istanbul, an agreement was reached under the UN plan. This week we want a written text/"
⚡️Breaking⚡️
Unconfirmed - explosions reported near the nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar.
According to residents, thick black smoke rises
A state #Russia news agency just published this video
Just managed to find a video of the scene in #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka) where #Russia claims the city was smashed by 30 missiles fired from #Ukraine helicopters.
Despite the fact that the explosions in #Enerhodar earlier didn't seem to land in the ground of the Nuclear Power Plant, I am surprised to learn the occupiers claim 11 employees were wounded, four seriously🤔
If you have any questions about the war, I will be available online on Friday for The @Independent.
Catch me live between 2-3pm answering anything to do with Russia's invasion of #Ukraine. The link will be up tomorrow for you to leave your questions in advance and I'll post here
Safe corridors will allow civilian ships, but NOT Russian, to reach these ports safely.
Let's see if Russia honours its pledge.
#Ukraine confirms the attack on #Enerhodar, but refutes hitting the nuclear power plant.
Presidential spokesman Oleskiy Arestovych hinted they took out equipment which had been shelling #Nikopol from next to the NPP. He also says a large number of Russian personnel were killed.
I'll end Wednesday's thread with another positive story and short video.
This comes from #Mariupol where the exiled city adviser, Petro Andrushchenko, says resistance is growing and #Ukraine flags are being stuck all over the city.
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:
Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.
There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.
Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.
Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence
