Day 155 of #Russia's despicable war on #Ukraine

It's causing problems for everyone around the world, all because of one man. But giving in, or ceding ground is like giving painkillers to someone with a curable disease. Moderate relief now but much worse pain later.

Here's the🧵
Britain's MOD is in positive mood today and so will all #Ukraine followers reading this.

#Mykolaiv woke up to more explosions in the early hours today. It's a regular barrage of the city and region.

I am guessing it's to try to prevent #Ukraine battalions leaving to join in the impending assault to liberate #Kherson.

Morning light reveals another school is badly damaged in #Mykolaiv and a security guard there was injured.

#Nikolaev's Shipbuilding University also suffered from the rocket strikes and the nearby church had windows shattered by the blasts.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A dilemma faced #Zaporizhzhia city council.
In Pushkin Square there is a monument to the great Russian writer. But Putin has made everything Russia toxic.

So now they've removed Pushkin's head from its usual place, to keep safe until it's decided what to do with the feature

#Kharkiv was targeted again by #Russia overnight, the city and the region.
The city's most beloved park, Gorky was hit by rockets. CCTV captured the moment of the arrival.

#StandWithUkraine #Kharkov #StopRussianAggression
2/3
#Kharkiv - no one appears to have been injured when the grad landed on Gorky Park in the centre of town (see video)

Officials say a city centre enterprise was also hit with damage to the roof and walls. Three security guards had a lucky escape.

#Kharkov #SaveUkraine
3/3

I am waiting for news from #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv oblast, where there was more intense shelling.

There's immense damage after a multi-storey building was hit - rescue is difficult as #Russia's grad attacks have continued.

#Chuhuev #Kharkov #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Kyiv was not immune to #Russia's attacks last night.
Unguided rockets hit the Vyshhorod region, north of the capital city.

No reports of injuries here either.
#StopRussianAggression #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia has fined Snapchat a million rubles for failing to hand over all snooping data it demands from all social media providers, as The Kremlin's laughable comments about "liberation" in the world continue.
#Ukraine seems to be hitting targets in occupied #Donetsk region this morning.

This is the scene in #Putilovka, just north of Donetsk city, in the occupied part of the region.

#StandWithUkraine
..And this was the Kyivsky district of #Donetsk a little earlier.

#StopPutinNOW #StandWithUkraine
#Donetsk - what looks like an incendiary ammunition explodes over the Kuibyshevsky district.

#Ukraine #Donbas
Air raid sirens sounding over much of #Ukraine today, including Kyiv.

Earlier today rockets fired from #Belarus hit #Chernihiv region and now reports of missiles from #Russia landing in #Kropyvnytsky (RU: #Kirovograd)
Must be a good day when the #UK's MoD publishes a second war update.

They periodically update maps and the contested area here is the interesting bit, especially towards #Kherson. I think #Ukraine is in control of most of that western area which #Russia will struggle to defend.
1/2
A producer who made worldwide headlines for her live on-screen anti-war protest on TV in #Russia, has been fined again.

Marina Ovsyannikova was fined around $800 for social media posts "discrediting the army"

nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/c…
2/2

It's interesting about Ovsyannikova; many promienent Russian watchers are convinced she's an FSB plant.

They point to the way she was allowed to leave #Russia, even getting a media job in #Germany, which could have been helpful to The Kremlin.

Now no-one's sure either way.
I almost laughed!

The Russian Orthodox Church has always been a weapon against society itself. Protected by the "cloth"

#Ukraine admits the strike early today in the #Kyiv region hit a military unit.

Oleksiy Gromov of the General Staff says "6 cruise missiles struck a military unit in the settlement of Lyutizh. One building was destroyed, 2 damaged."

15 injuries reported, I suspect many more.
I never thought #Ukraine would become a nation of stamp collectors! But Putin changed a lot of things.

Remember the rush to get the sunken "Moskva" boat stamps? The queues today in Kyiv not much less for the tribute to Ukraine's Tractor Army!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
5 people were killed and another 25 injured in #Russia's attack on #Kropyvnytskyi (RU: #Kirovograd) I reported earlier in the thread.

It seems the targets were hangars used by a flight academy in the city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Not exactly sure what's happening here.
One thing's for sure - #Ukraine is losing food,

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine

Two died in #Toretsk in #Donetsk oblast when a 5-storey building was hit by Russian missiles.

The bodies of the man and the woman were found under rubble here.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
US President Joe Biden now has the mandate to act, but what will he do?

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW

#Russia accused of helping get rid of #Italy's PM. Draghi was in favour of western sanctions against Moscow - but the coalition fell apart not long after the Kremlin asked right wing "League" party if they'd withdraw support

Thx @NelsonSkeels for the tip

Looks like it's HIMARS 'clock again already in #Donetsk. How time (and rocket) flies!

This in the Kyivskyi district of the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
How locals under occupation spend their Thursday evenings.

This is the queue for water in the Proletarsky district of #Donetsk

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The occupying #Donetsk "government" reports 1 person died as a result of shelling in the region today.
Another 17 people were injured, including a child.

Rockets are still landing tonight too. This was uploaded just minutes ago:

#Donbas #StopRussiaNOW
Earlier I reported two people died in #Ukraine held #Bakhmut; that total rose to three before the end of the day - it may rise further.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, regional head says "6 apartment buildings and 6 private houses were damaged"

This amazing photo by @AFP was taken in Bakhmut
Reports from #Chornobaivka this evening that #Ukraine has hit another Russian warehouse.

Detonations continued for a while.
#Chernobaevka #Kherson
Two more interesting stories from #Kherson oblast as a result of the HIMARS attack on Antonivskyi Bridge.

#Russia's mighty army has seized a passenger ship to cross the Dnipro river.

Russia's ruling United Russia party fled Kherson, saying they're no longer able to provide aid.
For no discernible reason #Russia this evening denazified a house in #Mykolaiv

The shell exploded in the yard, damaging the roof and more. Two neighboring houses were also badly damaged.

#Nikolaev #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Russia says its soldiers have advanced "a few more kilometres" in the Donbas, with fighting now in the outskirts of #Soledar.

Seems to me this is an exaggeration and they are still some way from the town which #Ukraine continues to hold.

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine
Last tweet of the night from me (hopefully)
A few people have written to me asking why I've not shown, or talked about the "castration video".

A #Ukraine POW is supposedly castrated on camera. I am not convinced by its authenticity - that's why I'm not giving it publicity.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image
