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.

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.

Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.

Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?

Saturday was another full-on journalistic stint, catching sleep when I could.
Kharkiv shattered overnight then a daytime attack on a kids' railway.
Operation Web 2.0 & a factory hit in Russia.
It's all ⬇️

Early this morning, just before the end of the previous thread I showed the Azot chemical plant in Tula region on fire.
Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦

This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
1/3
Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...
