You've found the start of the daily thread covering #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine

We've reached day 160 of #PutinsWar.

All the news in real time in one place. Scroll on!⬇️
First, the death toll from last night's awful attack on a minibus of evacuees, has grown to three.

In case you missed it, details here:

#Dovhove #Kherson #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState

I've not published #Ukraine's estimate of #Russia's war losses for a few days.

Yesterday troop deaths passed 41,000

#StandWithUkraine
One civilian was injured overnight when #Mykolaiv received its now usual bombardment from #Russia.

The wounded man was the guard of a university where a dormitory was hit. Residential buildings were also damaged and a grocery store caught fire.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
There were quite a few who thought the drone which crashed into #Russia's Black Sea Fleet HQ in #Sevastopol was a false flag. I couldn't see why and it seems UK intel doesn't think so either, highlighting the problems for The Kremlin's Navy.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says they're “deeply concerned” that Moscow was now using #Ukraine's largest nuclear plant as military base to fire on Ukrainian forces and called Russia’s actions around the plant “the height of irresponsibility”

Still in US politics: Trump again shows his underlying love/fear of Putin as well as his incompetence & failure to learn from history

Trump suggested appeasement would've avoided a war "Ukraine should've given up Crimea"
"Putin wouldn't have been able to attack if I was there"🤦
Took a while to get confirmed, but #Ukraine's Mayor in exile of #Skadovsk says the huge hit was 3-4km away from the town.

Oleksandr Yakovlev told Channel 24 only one building was damaged by pinpoint strikes, though they don't know how many Russans died

Amazing video showing #Ukraine's farmers working in the war zone.

I saw this on TG channel "Ukraina Novosti Voina" not sure who the original credit belongs to.
War crimes investigators out working early this morning in #Kharkiv region after the latest missile attacks.

This time a few garages and a factory were hit in #Chuhuiv

#Kharkov #Chuguev #Ukraine #StopRussiaNOW
In #Brylivka in #Kherson oblast, reports that #Russia has sealed off the railway station in an attempt to hide movements of troops and equipment.

The occupiers have even forced residents out of nearby houses after #Ukraine's Resistance movement gained info which led to strikes.
1/2
Head of #Mykolaiv region, Vitaliy Kim, has released CCTV of the moment missiles landed early this morning.

Looking at this, it's remarkable more damage was not caused.

A grocery store was suffered a direct hit - video of that in the next tweet...

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
2/2

Here's the video from inside the grocery store which was struck by a Russian missile in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev this morning.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Meanwhile in occupied #Donetsk, the new water system designed by the Russians is being rolled out.

#RussiasGoHome #StopRussianAggression #DonetskIsUkraine
Seems "sleepy" Dima's in trouble again.
Ex-President Medvedev in his new ultra-nazi image, wrote about conquering Kazakhstan, Georgia, all former Soviet lands.

Seems someone thinks he went too far. A few hours later they say his account was hacked!

#StopRussiaNow
Rail transport has been affected after shelling in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

Russia's rockets hit railway infrastructure in #Kryvorizka district with tracks damaged in #Hrushivska.

No trains are running there, while the electric transformer and the power grid were also damaged.
Smoke seen in #Dnipro itself on the outskirts of the city. There were reports of small explosions a little earlier.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerrorristState
#Ukraine's intelligence service says it has detected and stopped "a million-strong bot farm" that was spreading fakes. Security services say it was run by a Russian in Kyiv who was trying to destabilise Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Following my criticism of Trump earlier and his policy of appeasing Putin, #Ukraine's Presidential adviser has his say...

One still has to wonder about Christopher Steele's dossier and "kompromat"

Disgraceful! What's going on @antonioguterres?

#Ukraine's ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets says the @UN has not even responded to his requests to help investigate the massacre of POWs in #Olenivka/#Yelenovka

“I sent official letters & requests right after the tragedy." said Lubinets😡
Authorities in #Donetsk say a woman in a shop was killed by flying glass.

A missile landed in the Kyivsky district of the occupied city.
A house in #Karkiv oblast, close to the state boundary with #Donetsk, has been demolished by Russian shells.

The attack happened in the village of Oleksandrivka.
The owners had presumably evacuated as the property was empty and no casualties were reported.

The wife of #Ireland's President has clarified her views after strong criticism for asking both sides to call a ceasefire - seemingly equating blame.

Sabina Higgins wrote “I have from its outset strongly condemned the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine."

...
2/2

Sabina Higgins, Wife of #Ireland's President:

"and I cannot be but dismayed that people would find anything unacceptable in a plea for peace and negotiations when the future of humanity is threatened by war, global warming and famine.”

True, but better 🇷🇺 ends aggression.
Putin's lover, former rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, has finally been added by the #USA to its sanctions list.

Although the tiny man denies the relationship, Kabaeva for some reason is head of a huge Kremlin-related media group, despite no experience.

#StopRussia
⚡️Breaking⚡️

The ship legally loaded with #Ukraine's grain, has just arrived at the Turkish coast.

The Sierra Leone flagged "Razoni" will now begin its journey through the Bosphorus to #Istanbul.

No other ships have yet left Ukrainian ports.
hmmm, who to believe?

#Ukraine's Major General Andriy Kovalchuk says they have not lost any of the #HIMARS systems.

#Russia's "Defence" Minister Shoigu says they've destroyed six HIMARS.

Seems the Kremlin "don't like it up 'em" to coin a British phrase😆

#StopRussia
A guy cycling home, painted over a Latin "Z" which had been changed from its original Cyrillic in the sign of his city, #Zheleznogorsk

A few moments later he was hit over the head, arrested, then badly beaten and threatened with rape.

Liberated #Russia!

tayga.info/178575
Explosions from rocket fire in both #Lviv and #Mykolaiv regions tonight.

In L'viv, a missile struck an anti-aircraft missile complex in #Chervonohrad, further details and news of any casualties are promised later.
In #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) repeated explosions and fire heard.

No videos yet. Reports of mobile networks not working and power cuts.

#RussiaIsATerrorristState #StandWithUkraine
Earlier this evening a little tease from #Chornobaivka again!

Doesn't look big enough for a HIMARS strike, but smoke seen in the area of the airport.

#Chernobaevka #Kherson
#Ukraine says the missile which hit #Lviv was one of 8 cruise missiles fired from the Caspian Sea area.

The other 7 were all shot down by air defences according to the UA military.

#Russia says the attack on a minibus of evacuees was a false flag by #Ukraine.

The Kremlin says Ukrainian forces fired on the civilians as a provocation, but cannot provide any evidence.

Day 162 of #Russia's war with a country which has never invaded, or fired upon, another country once.

#Ukraine continues its proud defence, but masses of new cannon fodder are arriving on the fronts to help #Russia pressure new fronts.

All the news, all day in one 🧵, read on!
1/2
First to the murder of #Ukraine's #Azovstal defenders in the missile strike on the #Olenivka prison.

The @ICRC put out a statement saying they could not guarantee the safety of the Ukrainians despite negotiating their release from #Mariupol'

icrc.org/en/document/ol…
2/2
The Red Cross statement says they had no access to prisoners in #Olenivka before the strike. This contradicts Russian propaganda channels which claimed they visited 4 days before.

US Intel concurs with my assessment Russia is delaying UN/ICRC visits to plant evidence. Image

Wednesday 3 August. Day 161 of #Russia's full scale invasion of peaceful #Ukraine

Welcome to my daily thread, with all the news from, and affecting the war. DMs open for tips (anonymous if preferred)

Thx to those who already supported me.
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Still big problems for #Russia in the occupied south of #Ukraine. British Intel today highlighting the transport links which will hinder their attempts to fend off a Ukraine assault in #Kherson or counter attack here towards #Mykolaiv. Image
The #Ukraine land assault in #Kherson will come, but #Russia adding 1000s of extra (untrained) conscripts + Wagner mercenaries to the warzone, complicates matters

The invaders now threaten #Zaporizhzhia having failed to take all of #Donetsk

So for now 🇺🇦continues to hit 🇷🇺bases

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⬇️
1/2
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.

The last day of July is Day 158 of #Russia's war of choice.

Each day I document the major news and events, along with analysis. I've been working in #Ukraine for 20 years and studying the relationship with its neighbour as Putin became more and more aggressive.
Enjoy the thread
Of course not only Putin and #Russia involved in the illegal aggression.

#Belarus is playing an active part too. I am disappointed that Britain's @DefenceHQ does not acknowledge that Lukashenka is the ILLEGITIMATE president. @Tsihanouskaya won the 2020 elections
Today the number of Russian Armoured Personnel Carriers destroyed by #Ukraine in this war so far ticked over 4,000.

Also a lot of artillery systems are being taken out in recent days. Plus another 160 soldiers eliminated.

(All figures Ukrainian estimates)

Welcome to the weekend.
Day 157 of #Russia's illegal full-scale war on #Ukraine, but it's 8 and a half years since the start of the invasion when Putin's troops appeared on #Crimea and then later east 🇺🇦

Ukrainians fight on for freedom.
Here's the daily🧵
All the news in 1 place
The condemnation of both the castration/murder videos & bombing of #Ukraine POWs in Russian held territory, continue at high levels.

The UN says it is "shocked by the recent videos" in a statement about the torture and shooting in the head of a prisoner

facebook.com/UNHumanRightsU…
The #EU Vice-President @JosepBorrellF, commenting on the killing of around 50 #Ukraine POWs in #Donetsk is "appalled"

#Russia's Wagner mercenaries are accused of bombing the prison camp in #Olenivka, trying to make it look like a Ukraine strike.

Welcome to the daily thread on #Russia's war for Friday.
It's Day 156 of the full invasion of #Ukraine.

All the most important news in real time, plus my analysis.

I try to answer all questions @ me, DMs open for tip-offs. If you have an urge to donate, see my profile. Thanks!

Every day #Ukraine publishes statistics for the losses suffered by #Russia. The Kremlin refuses to update any figures, presumably fearing kickback from the public as the "10 day war" drags on and on.

Below is today's updated estimate from🇺🇦 but there's another problem for🇷🇺
2/2

Even official data in #Russia for Jan-May 2022 show the population falling at record levels

430,000 fewer people were in Russia - the decline much worse than during Covid. Most war deaths won't even be in these figures - this is young people fleeing
