This is the start of the daily thread for Day 151 of the Russian full scale invasion of #Ukraine.

Two big talking points yesterday concerning #Odesa and #Donetsk and the arguments continue.

News & analysis throughout the day.
Read, comment, share!

#StopRussia
1/2

I have to start with news of yet more missiles landing in #Mykolaiv this morning.

Two separate attacks yesterday destroying universities and homes in #Nikolaev, and two people were injured.

Now a fresh Russian raid with 5 powerful explosions reported.

#StandWithUkraine
2/2

Mayor of #Mykolaiv Oleksandr Sienkovych has not released further details yet about this morning's damage or any casualties. Rescue services are on site.

CCTV caught the moment of impact.

#Nikolaev #Ukraine #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Following yesterday's cruise missile attack on #Odesa, #Turkiye's Defence Minister last night announced that he's spoken to both #Ukraine and #Russia

Moscow claimed it was "not involved and investigating the issue"

Ukraine has confirmed systems for loading grain are not damaged
Reports of two rockets landing in #Chuhuiv (RU: #Chuguev) in #Kharkiv/#Kharkov region overnight.

No further details yet.
More shelling overnight too in occupied #Donetsk.

This video was shot in the Kirovskyi district near the centre.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A few banks still actively working in #Russia and therefore supporting the war crimes and murder of #Ukraine's people.

24tv in Ukraine reports Citi, @RBI_Presse, Intesa Sanpaolo and @UniCredit Group "couldn't leave", but now some are even recruiting new employees.
Interesting to see the Study of War joining me in predicting a counter offensive in the south in the near future.

#KhersonIsUkraine #StopRussia

Exiled Mayor of #Melitopol posted these photos from the town this morning.

Ivan Fedorov says this "mystery" happened overnight.

More supply problems for #Russia in the occupied region.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
First light has let locals see what happened in #Khrustalnyi (RU: #KrasnyiLuch in the early hours.

A hotel was smashed by high precision artillery, presumably HIMARS. It was well known that Russian troops were using the hotel as a barracks.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Explosions in the west #Ukraine city of #Khmelnitskyi this morning.
The mayor initially said air defence was working well, implying all missiles had been taken down.

But now a column of smoke is rising. Maybe caused by debris, or one missile sneaked through.

#StopRussia
This was #NovayaKakhovka this morning.

Looks like #Ukraine found another target in the occupied town.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
#Bakhmut has been on the frontline for a while. The bombardment continues ahead of an expected ground push by #Russia.

The writing on the demolished building says "this is your school"

#Donetsk #StandWithUkraine
Turns out that #Turkiye earned decent commission brokering the "grain deal"

@DailySabah is reporting the Turkish govt will be able to purchase grain transported by sea, at prices below world prices.

Is that ethical? Did UN know?
Politico reports fighters from #Canada and #Sweden also died in the #Donbas this week. They also name the two Americans, who it seems, were killed by #Russia in the same attack.

Air raid warning for #Kyiv

#StandWithUkraine
British MoD update highlights one of the more obvious Russian lies.

If #Russia takes these areas it will announce an expansion to #Odesa and the whole of the south. And then central #Ukraine and #Kyiv.

Never forget Putin wants to remove Ukraine from the map.
Heavy losses for #Russia over the last 24 hours, #Ukraine says.

14 tanks destroyed - well above the daily average, while 280 troops killed, also significantly above the recent average.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutin
Two civilians thought to have died in Ukraine controlled #Donetsk villages in the last 24 hours.

Avdiyivka, Bakhmut, Toretsk, Kostyantynivka, Kurakhove, Hostre, Kurdyumivka, Vesele and Kamianka all came under shelling from #Russia.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Very clever!
Being shared (carefully) by some in #Russia and many in #Ukraine over the last few days.
The original was apparently seen on a wall in St Petersburg.

#StopPutin #SaveUkraine
#Russia formally admits the strikes on #Odesa

FM spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova says "Caliber missiles destroyed the military infrastructure of the #Odessa port, sending a Ukrainian military boat to the address beloved by the Kyiv regime with a precision strike."
#Ukraine's security service releases a video, overlaid with an intercepted phone call.

A Russian soldier tells his mum (rough translation) "the guys were watching a movie in their tank when they just bombed them with a drone. 15 are Cargo 200 (dead)"

The USA is seriously considering labelling #Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.

@USAmbKyiv Bridget Brink made the statement in this interview.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

radiosvoboda.org/a/news-posol-u…
A big fire in #Darivka (RU: #Daryevka) in #Kherson region. This is where Ukraine hit a bridge over the River Inhulets yesterday.
Today it seems only fields are burning.
Still in #Kherson oblast...

A well-known UA journalist reports explosions in #Kakhovka. Oleh Baturin only refers to broken windows and no news on any potential target.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussianAggression
#Donetsk is getting noisy again.

This has just been uploaded to social networks with a number of similar videos from the occupied city.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Ukraine held #Kostiantynivka suffered a big blow early this morning.

CCTV footage has just been released of the moment a Russian missile smashed in to a building in the town.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Interesting investigation published by The Insider earlier. They tell how Russian contractors who refuse to fight after the 3 months they signed up for, are initially locked up in #Luhansk, then forced to go to the front anyway.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

#Russia lost another Su-25 attack jet today.
That's according to #Ukraine's military which says paratroopers downed the aircraft with MANPADS.

facebook.com/www.dshv.mil.g…
Authorities in #Khmelnytskyi say all four Caliber cruise missiles were hit by air defence early today.

It's now known #Russia fired four missiles from the Black Sea on the city in west #Ukraine.

Air raid warnings sounding in many areas of #Ukraine right now including #Kyiv.
There are reports of explosions in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

#StopRussia
#Ukraine has lost one of its most successful Commanders. Vitaliy Gulyaev died from rocket fire in the #Mykolaiv region yesterday.

The commander of the 28th brigade, stopped #Russia's advance in the south, pushing them back in #Mykolaiv and #Kherson.

novynarnia.com/2022/07/24/na-…
This is the scene in #Dnipro tonight.
Two explosions reported so far, with a large fire reported at one of the sites.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Dnipro update:

Early reports are that the fire in #Dnipropetrovsk region may have happened after missiles were brought down by air defence.

#StandWithUkraine
#Dnipropetrovsk region

A clearer photo of the fire after the explosions.
Exact location not allowed to be released yet.

All information so far is unofficial.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine isn't alone in having problems with wildfires right now, but a whole lot of separate blazes have broken out in #Kherson region during the evening.

They appear unrelated to missile attacks. In the current situation regarding grain it's an added problem.
This is how things are going in occupied #Kherson.

There's been no-one serving at the McDonald's drive through for ages!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Conflicting stories in #Zaporizhzhia tonight...

Most semi official channels in the city are not reporting any strikes. But some have published this photo claiming a rocket landed.

So, nothing confirmed right now...

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussianAggression
It's very loud in occupied #Donetsk tonight...

#Donbas #Ukraine
And #Russia's air defence has been busy in #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevka), which is right next to #Donetsk.

No confirmation yet of whether any rockets landed.
UPDATE:
The missiles launched on #Dnipropetrovsk tonight appear to be on the town of #Nikopol' again and surrounding areas near the river.

Officials say no injuries and no major damage.
"No panic" says Mayor of Nikopol Yevheni Yevtushenko

The Head of #Zaporizhzhia says there have not been any missiles/rockets landing in the city tonight.

It looks like #Ukriane's air defences have worked well again.

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
