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)"

ssu.gov.ua/novyny/viiskov…
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.

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:

There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?
