Welcome to August. Welcome to Daily thread number 159 documenting #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

Good news already to report today - Ukrainian grain has finally been allowed to leave #Odesa.

All the news, all day, every day, right here. Read on⬇️

So a Sierra Leone flagged ship, named Razoni has left #Odesa this morning.

#Turkiye/#Turkey made the announcement and has said the ship will be in #Istanbul tomorrow. After inspection it will head to #Lebanon.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Here is video of the ship, loaded with #Ukraine's grain, leaving #Odesa/#Odessa.

Many other ships are lined up to follow.

But let's not forget this is NOT happening due to Russia's goodwill. It's because The Kremlin is allowed to export goods and Kaliningrad was unblocked.
Also in #Odesa there was smoke seen widely around the city, but it does NOT appear to be as a result of any military action.

A house is on fire on Yekaterininskaya/Zhukovskogo street. Emergency workers are on the scene.

#Russia is likely preparing another assault on #Kharkiv according to @TheStudyofWar

But the daily British update says #Russia, after failing to make recent progress in #Donetsk, is turning its attention to #Zaporizhzhia.

In my opinion both the above can be true.

A big uptick in #Russia's recruitment after almost forced conscription in some areas, plus 1000s of prisoners released to fight as #Wagner mercenaries

The whole frontline is flooded with new troops. But poorly trained it's high-risk
#Ukraine's now confirmed a big "hit" on #Russia troops and equipment in #Brylivka in #Kherson region, which I mentioned from local chat yesterday.

They say another 52 invaders were killed y'day alone: no update yet on last night's hit on #Skadovsk

A man was killed in #Kharkiv after #Russia hit a bus stop in the city, just days after killing 7 with a similar attack on #Mykolaiv

Another missile in Saltiv district injured another civilian after landing in courtyard of an apartment block

More signs of the Resistance in #Kherson oblast.

These published by Telegram channel hueviyherson from #Henichesk (RU: #Genichesk)

"No referendum allowed. Henichesk is #Ukraine" ImageImageImageImage
This is #Russia's replacement for the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson.

A state of the art Soviet ferry!
In #Mykolaiv, #Russia's missiles have hit a number of civilian targets, including a new, state of the art, Trauma Clinic.

It is the only new medical facility built in 20 years in #Nikolaev.

No injuries reported.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImageImage
A remarkable photo from one Russian missile attack. A rocket got lodged in a child's bed. Thankfully no one was or injured or killed as the family had heeded air raid warnings and taken shelter.

This in #Marhanets near #Nikopol in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

#StopRussia Image
Smooth progress so far for the first ship laden with (legal) #Ukraine food to depart the country on the high seas since the war began.

You can see the other ships lined up waiting to depart from #Odesa and #Chornomorsk

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine Image
#Russia continues its bombardment of #Avdiivka, on the frontline in the #Donbas.

Invading troops have moved forward in this direction in recent days, one of the few areas where they've seen any success in #Donetsk in recent days.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW ImageImage
#Ukraine has hit #Pervomaisk in occupied #Luhansk.
Looks like the Pervomayskvuhillia coal company was targeted.

This video was recorded by the Russian installed Mayor of the city, Sergey Kolyagin.
No casualties reported. Maybe HIMARS again?

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia's claims today in the lunchtime briefing include:

Destroying 2 HIMARS in #Kharkiv and over 50 #Ukraine soldiers in missile strikes.
They also report "massive desertion" among Ukraine's ranks.

They should make their bulletins a little less fanciful and more believable.
#RussiaOnFire

This time in the Republic of #Tatarstan.
A major fire in the industrial zone of #Nizhnekamsk

First reports say a heater caught fire.
Would be interesting to know what was being made here!

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
There's an impressive video about the "Salt City" of #Soledar in #Donetsk, produced by @ukrpravda_news

Worth taking a look just at the intro/first 70 secs even if you don't understand Ukrainian, and skipping through to see the damage and how people live

#USA and #Ukraine continue to make beautiful summer music! Four more HIMARS confirmed to have arrived on the battlefield to help #SaveUkraine from The Terrorist State.

#StopRussiaNow

Another day, another war crime.

Russian propagandists conduct an interview with prisoner of war #Volyn about the massacre in #Olenivka/#Yelenovka jail.

As always I refuse to broadcast "interviews" with prisoners on either side.
#Ukraine locates and destroys another of #Russia's Soviet-era self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon.

The "Tunguska" 2K22 was hit in #Kharkiv region, with @UKRINFORM publishing this video:

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine

Earlier today I was chatting with someone about the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson, which is being repaired. I was told a couple of days ago by my source that anti-radar "deflectors" are now positioned to protect the bridge from further #HIMARS attack

Here are the first photos! ImageImage
Starmer & Cameron on #Russia's latest list of naughty boys. Despite the fact @David_Cameron as PM was culpable for doing nothing in 2014 when Russia invaded #Crimea and the UK promised to protect #Ukraine's land.

@SkyNewsHead also on the list. I wait!

Russia's rail network site rzd.ru has been offline for almost 2 hours now.
No reason given.
Patriotic hackers?

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Head of The French Ministry of Finance's Intelligence Unit says France has blocked about €1.2 billion of assets which belonged to Russian citizens.

#France #Ukraine #StopRussia
Various local media in #Kherson reporting that #Russia has now hijacked a second ship.

This reportedly shows one of the craft being brought towards their base near the port by two tug boats.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia ImageImage
Before and after - the Reikartz Hotel in #Mykolaiv was targeted by #Russia today. ImageImageImageImage
Three more Britons and 2 other foreigners could soon be given death penalties in the puppet "#Donetsk Republic"

The so called "Supreme Court" accepted allegations of mercenarism against John Harding, Dylan Healy & Andrew Hill as well as 🇸🇪Matthias Gustavsson & 🇭🇷Vekoslav Prebeg
Two more US officials confirm HIMARS were definitely NOT used in the attack on a Russian jail where Ukrainians were massacred.

Politico also now reporting Russia has lied about this attack.
The sickest of #Russia's war crimes?

politico.com/news/2022/08/0…
Earlier I criticised David Cameron for his lack of action when Russia invaded #Crimea

In his nightly address Pres.Zelenskyy echoes my thoughts
"The weak & insufficient reaction to the occupation of Crimea in 2014 became one of the reasons Russian aggression grew to such a scale"
Horrible story from south #Ukraine tonight.
Two people have died after #Russia shot up a minibus of evacuees.

This is the wreckage near #Dovhove in #Kherson region. Seven people were in the minibus, the other five were taken to hospital in #KryvyiRih, two seriously ill. Image
Good to see @washingtonpost going hard on #Russia over the massacre of #Ukraine POWs.

"#Azov soldiers only surrendered when told to do so by Kyiv. The only war crimes they witnessed were committed by Russia on the people of Mariupol... Governments don't kill their heroes" Image
#Russia's ice hockey star Kirill Kaprizov has gained entry to the #USA

The @mnwild striker had been denied entry 3 weeks ago for not having a work visa. Upon returning home it was rumoured he was being investigated for draft dodging. But now he can resume his @NHL career.

Good morning and I hope you are all well.

Yes, I'm back again for another daily thread, with all the important news from Ukraine and Russia in one handy thread, every single day.

DMs open for your tip-offs; please help to keep Ukraine in the news, share, re-post, reply etc.
So, Day 1303 gets underway, but first the link back to 1302 and Wednesday's news feed.

A lot of stuff covered, but forgive me for my favourite moment being the British King lecturing a wannabe king about support for Ukraine.

Only a 65% success rate for Ukraine's air defence last night.

75 drones were launched by Russia, initially at eastern areas, then attacking Kyiv later in the night.
One UAV is still flying, of the others, Ukraine brought down 48.

Hits occurred in 6 places according to Ukraine. Image

Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.

For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).

Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.

Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:

2-3 weeks ago, Russia started copying Ukraine's attacks on railway infrastructure and is having success.

At night, Ukrzaliznytsia substations were hit, causing power losses firing the rail network.

Over 20 passenger trains were on affected routes, but there are no casualties. Image

Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.

A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.

Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.

First though a breaking news after a number of morning attacks by Russia, particularly in Kyiv region.

This is in the town of Fastiv where a logistics centre for the electronic retail company EpiCentre (EpiTsentr).

Residents are warned of potential air pollution. Image

Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.

Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.

Here's Monday's daily🧵
If you were busy over the weekend, click the link to see all Sunday's stories.

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries

The overnight bombardment from Russia remained lower than usual, although 84 drones and 3 S-300 missiles caused a fair bit of damage on 'soft' targets

With 59 UAVs stopped, that's a 70% success rate.
None of the missiles was intercepted either

The 28 hits occurred in 13 places Image

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image
