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.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

#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.

2/2

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.

We've reached Day 1228. Every Single Day
Fact checked and analysis by a professional journalist with Ukraine expertise.
I've literally just finished Friday's thread, with an extraordinary flurry of late news from inside Russia rounding off another bumper thread, stretching to 60 posts.

Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

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.
