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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Before and after - the Reikartz Hotel in #Mykolaiv was targeted by #Russia today.
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?
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.
"#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"
#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.

Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.
Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.
More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.
What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.
This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.
This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.
It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Far right MPs?🇺🇦❌🇷🇺✅
Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.
You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.
This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.
Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛
It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.
This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.
All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.

First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT
