Hello, welcome to Friday and to Day 163 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine
Critical days after The Kremlin's tactic of carpet bombing the front line, then throwing 1000s of cannon fodder into the "grey zone" seems to be pushing Ukraine back in #Donetsk.
All the news, all day, here⬇️

All the news, all day, here⬇️
The @TheStudyofWar last night reported #Ukraine "is likely seizing the strategic initiative and forcing #Russia to reallocate forces" due to threats in #Kherson.
However their maps don't include the news about #Avdiivka and #Bakhmut which I brought you in yesterday's thread

Also last night I showed the scenes in #Nikopol - and I'll tweet a new video in the next post
UK's MoD's update highlights the sheer recklessness of #Russia firing on Nikopol from a nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar, storing weapons there knowing #Ukraine can't risk firing there

So here is a new video from #Nikopol where I think thermite MLRS were used, lighting up the sky. It may have been phosphorus munitions. This is CCTV footage - just watch the top of the screen.
No casualties reported, but fires and damage.

This morning three more boats of #Ukraine grain have left ports on the Black Sea.
The first boat to leave, #Razoni, is now navigating through the Greek islands, en route to the port of Tripoli in #Lebanon.

A few photos emerging from last night's attack on #Kharkiv.
A young man is in intensive care, another man and woman are also in hospital. But if anything, the consequences are not as bad as first feared.

Video's been published of #Ukraine blowing up the pillars of the bridge across the Seversky Donets in #Sviatohirsk.
Russians have been on the lower bank of the river for several weeks, while the high bank (together with the sacred Lavra) is controlled by Ukraine.

A little glimpse now of the tortuous "road to life" as some call it for evacuees in southern #Ukraine.
This is believed to be near near #Berdyansk in the occupied territories.

A famous ex-Spartak ice-hockey player gave an interview to #Russia's sport channel "Match TV"
But Czechia's Dominik Hasek spoke truthfully about fascism in Moscow and appealed for fans to help stop the attack on #Ukraine. The interview was not broadcast!

#Mykolaiv didn't escape attack overnight of course!
This time #Russia mainly fired on the Korabelnyi district of #Nikolaev. #Ukraine's authorities say cluster munitions were used, sent from MLRS.
No known casualties.

Some sources say #Russia has taken total control of #Pisky (RU: #Pesky) in Donetsk region. It's a little west of the city of #Donetsk and south of under pressure #Avdiivka.
If Pisky has fallen, and I suspect it has, then it's hard to see Avdiivka holding out for too much longer.

Traitor Volodymyr Saldo, Russia's "head" of #Kherson, is reportedly in a medically induced coma in #Crimea.
He may be flown to Moscow.
Saldo, who survived an assassination attempt in July, yesterday handed over powers to his deputy.
Some speculate he was poisoned or had a stroke

#Ukraine is accusing #Russia of shelling the Nuclear Power Plant in #Enerhodar.
Energoatom states "the Russian military again resorted to provocations. As a result of their shelling at 2:30 p.m., three 'arrivals' were recorded near the ZNPP industrial site."

#Donetsk - as well as the railway station being on fire, shelling has hit four other districts of the occupied city this afternoon.
Great work from the @Bellingcat team to identify the animal who castrated then executed a #Ukraine Prisoner of War.
They don't name him, but the @the_ins_ru does, a member of a Chechen paramilitary Akhmat battalion.

#Ukraine's Nuclear operating company, Energoatom says #Russia shelled the power plant in #Enerhodar for a 2nd time today.
3 missiles "seriously damaged the nitrogen-oxygen station & the auxiliary building. There's a risk of hydrogen leakage + smattering of radioactive substances

#Russia of course has a different point of view:
"At the hydrogen station at the nuclear power plant, a flare fire occurred, the fire was promptly eliminated
"Russian calls on organisations to condemn the criminal actions of Zelenskyy, who carries out acts of nuclear terrorism"

#Ukraine may have hit the Dar'ivka bridge again in #Kherson region tonight. This is the road bridge over the river Inhulets, north-east of Kherson city
The Occupiers say air-defence stopped Ukraine's rockets, but separate sources report at least two landed, on or near the bridge
