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.
A dilemma faced #Zaporizhzhia city council.

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
1/3 #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.
#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.
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.

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

No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.

Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.

Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.

In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
