We have entered the sixth month of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.

Welcome again to the daily thread.

Day 152 and the senseless killing continues, all because of one little man.

All the main news and analysis updated throughout the day!

#StandWithUkraine
At times updates today may be delayed as I'm on the move, but I will catch up with everything in bursts of activity when I have internet and a seat!

DMs open for tip offs. I try to answer all questions @ me too.
First the #Ukraine estimate of #Russia's losses.

Whether or not the figures are accurate (they're likely inflated at least a little), there are a lot of RU soldiers being killed the last few days.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
British Intelligence continues to outline new aspects of the multitude of headaches Russian Commanders are having right now.

That vehicle refit centre seems close enough for Ukraine to hit even without HIMARS? I'm sure US and UK are sharing intelligence

#StandWithUkraine
No shelling in #Kharkiv city overnight but the wider region was hit again.

#Russia fired at a school and a community centre in Chuhuiv.
Three people were pulled out from under the rubble.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Kherson region, #Ryssia had been trying to expand northwards in the east but it seems they've been forced back.

Meanwhile #Ukraine says it has "taken control of several transport infrastructure facilities" in the region, but does not provide details.

#StopRussia
#Ukraime has released video from the siege at #Azovstal.

The new footage shows one of the daring helicopter sorties inside the steel plant in #Mariupol to deliver aid and evacuate wounded, prior to the stronghold falling into Russian hands.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Another high level sacking by #Ukraine's President.

@ZelenskyyUa has fired Deputy Secretary of the National Security Council Ruslan Demchenko, but little controversy about this.

Demchenko was discovered to be on a list of people banned from office under lustration laws.
Here's the result of the overnight shelling in #Nikopol in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

#Ukraine says MLRS were fired, injuring a 10 year old girl. 16 houses and outbuildings were damaged.
There were no military facilities in the area
#Ukraine has already received its first batch of "Gepard" anti-aircraft guns from #Germany (similar to photo below)

Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov says 3 arrived today along with 10s of thousands of cartridge.
Kyiv is expecting the delivery of 15 such vehicles in total.
Mr Reznikov (#Ukraine Def.Min) also announced that US #HIMARS have now struck 50 Russian warehouses of weapons and ammunitions.

It's undeniably true that Russia's fire on Ukraine has decreased markedly since HIMARS came on to the battlefield.

#StandWithUkraine
Many #Ukraine media are reporting that in #Kherson the Russians have revived the hated "Berkut"

This is the division of the riot police, which operated violently and with impunity. Berkut were responsible for most of the deaths of protesters on #Maidan.

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/07/2…
In #Donetsk plenty of war sounds in #Makiivka.
Seems like outgoing fire from the occupied territory.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
This video is reportedly from above #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka) near the front line.

Aircraft caught on film bombing somewhere in #Donetsk

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Astonishing photo from #Kramatorsk today.
Imagine waking up to this next to you.

This happened on the outskirts of the city near the frontline.

#Donetsk #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia admits it's trying to topple a democratically elected President and govt in #Ukraine

This is also of course against all international law. But why should Russia care when no-one is ever punished for its' crimes?

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made the comments in Cairo
The first grain export from #Ukraine via the Black Sea could happen within 48 hours.

Things are moving quickly in the smaller port of #Chornomorsk which should be able to set a ship to sail on Wednesday.

Ukraine is already exporting limited amounts on river boats.

#StopRussia
Another fun thread from the @bellingcat team, as the FSB goons try to spin humiliation into a successful operation 🤣

One person has died in #Volyn, in west #Ukraine after debris fell to earth from air defence intercepts.

Regional head, Yuriy Pohulyaiko, says several other were also injured.

Two Russian drones were shot down by air defence, falling on to private houses.

#StandWithUkraine
It's such a quiet news day (at last) that I'm resorting to bringing you updates on phone numbers!

The puppet #Luhansk regime has the Russian dialing code now and the area code 857.

Occupiers promise #Kherson region will switch before too long and also plan to ban the 🇺🇦hryvnia
An explosion reported at a factory in occupied #Berdyansk.

This is the Yuzhgidromash plant. It specialises in making high power pumps for industry including oil, irrigation.

#StandWithUkraine
Explosion in the Petrovsky district of occupied #Donetsk.

#StopRussia #StandwithUkraine
#Russian controllers of #Horlivka in the #Donbas report the death of a man.

He was killed in the shelling of the village of Stalsbyt.

#Gorlovka #Donetsk #RussiansGoHome
A Russian village near the Ukrainian border has reportedly been shelled this afternoon.

#Kursk regional governor Roman Starovoit says Alekseevka was hit by mortar fire near the telephone tower. But no injuries, no damage, no photos.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
UPDATE from #Volyn where I reported earlier in the thread that a man died after a Russian drone was shot down and the debris fell on houses

He was 66 years old and 2 children are in hospital after suffering severe burns.

First videos from the scene show the extend of the damage
Smoke seen in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev after air raid sirens were active across the region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussianAggression
Another fire in occupied #Donetsk.

This is the #Putilovskyi area.
Not clear what's burning, no reported air strikes

#StandWithUkraine
Twice this evening Russian rockets have smashed into a village in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

Velika Kostromka was the target.

A power line, a residential building and farm buildings were damaged. No injuries

Welcome to Wednesday's coverage of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

All the news that matters throughout the day in one handy thread.

This is Day 154 of #PutinsWar
The big news came at midnight #Ukraine time, when rockets started landing in #Kherson region and again on the Antonivskyi Bridge.

Several people uploaded videos to social networks:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The first news from #Kherson is not overly good for #Ukraine. Although the Antonivskyi bridge was hit, the structure still stands and is still passable.

#Russia's state new agency TASS says there is "no damage" which is highly unlikely.

This is the moment of impact

Day 153 of #Russia's war of choice.

#Odesa, #Kharkiv & #Mykolaiv among 🇺🇦 cities hit again overnight but not always with missiles designed for the job. The Kremlin orders more weapons out of "deep storage" and prepares for a #Ukraine counter attack in the south

Here's the🧵

First to those weapons on the move in #Russia.
It started with this video capturing what's believed to be
2S7 Pion heavy artillery being transported west.

They are Soviet machines, at the time state of the art high powered guns with a range of almost 50km,

#StopRussia

Some excellent sleuthing on the internet found the source - a diminishing supply of stock.

Google Earth images show there were 170 of the Pions stored at this location in #Russia early April, down to 135 at the start of June; last week only 110 remaining.

#StopRussia

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.

A bit of a landmark day as #PutinsWar reaches Day 150.
That's 146 days behind schedule (and counting) for the capture of #Kyiv 😂😂😂

This is the start of my daily thread with all the news about #Ukraine's defence and #Russia's aggression.

DMs open for tip-offs (100% anonymity)

Quite a lot of Russian rocket attacks to report in #Ukraine already

Starting in #Kharkiv where war crimes investigators are on the scene after purely civilian infrastructure was hit this morning.
Apartments & a university in the centre of the city were struck.

#StopRussia
2/2

One injury reported so far in #Kharkiv after this morning's attack by #Russia which saw many rockets fly into the city centre.

#Ukraine insists these were only civilian buildings - recently #Russia has claimed Ukraine's army has been using universities for military purposes

#Russia continues to make no progress in #Donetsk region and still has not "cleaned up" the whole of #Luhansk yet.

Various attempts to move forward on the frontline were repelled by #Ukraine
Russian sources are still claiming they are rotating troops to cover for lack of success

#PutinsWar enters Day 148.
21 July: anniversary of man first walking on the moon and in exactly four months the opening match of the World Cup in Qatar will be about to kick off.

But this is the daily thread on #Russia's war in #Ukraine, updated real time so please read & share.
* Graphic photos *

It's a depressing start to the day, with many attacks, shelling and deaths in #Ukraine.

Among the places worst hit - again - is #Kharkiv. The reign of terror continues by the invaders. Two died and 19 injured so far after attacks on residents.

#StopRussia
Officials in #Kharkiv are still concealing the exact location of #Russia's strikes. However, one of the most populated areas was hit with #Ukraine alleging The Kremlin targeted transport stops and residential streets.
They also say they found evidence of cluster bombs:
