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.

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.
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:
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.
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🧵

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
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.

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.
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.
