This is the start of the daily thread documenting #Russia's war of choice on #Ukraine.
It's Day 164 if you're counting (me too!)
All the news in one place, check back throughout the day.
DMs open for tips, all appreciated, as are any coffees donated (see my profile)😉

We ended yesterday wondering if the Dar'ivky Bridge just outside occupied #Kherson had been hit.
No update on that yet, but #Ukraine has claimed hits on 6 ammo dumps, numerous weapons and command posts in #Chornobaivka #Oleshki #Beryslav #Bruskinskyi and Kherson city itself.

#Ukraine is already hitting #Russia's stores again this morning.
This video from occupied #Makiivka (RU #Makeevka) - a lot of explosions followed the first strike, so looks likely to be an another ammunition dump.

I am saddened to hear that @OPokalchuk had to resign as Head of @amnesty in #Ukraine, but proud of her for staying principled as always.
It really should be her French boss @AgnesCallamard quitting after making countless mistakes, wittingly or otherwise, in its latest report

Unlike many, I'm a supporter of @amnesty but occasionally any organisation gets things wrong
I don't think #Ukraine should be firing weapons from hospitals, but troops and weapons being close to civilians is unavoidable, indeed necessary.
The country already has to defend..

..itself without attacking the country which invades it. #Russia shows zero regard for human life: rapes, castrations, executions, bombing of bus stops, railway stations etc.
The way @amnesty's report was written was appalling. Some acknowledge it:

The #UK update is sobering.
#Ukraine faces a 350km/220 mile frontline - imagine trying to defend that on your own against a country the size of #Russia which can toss thousands of cannon fodder in with no regard to losses of conscripts.

#Russia continues to say it's captured #Pesky near #Donetsk. #Ukraine denies this and @TheStudyofWar still says it will be difficult to capture.
The Kremlin's released this video "showing the cleaning" of the town, but it doesn't show the centre, so it may still be contested

#Ukraine does admit in its' morning update that #Russia has made slight gains around #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) with constant fire from artillery and jets.
Y'day 5 civilians died in #Ukraine held part of #Donetsk oblast. 2 in Opytny, 1 each in #Avdiivka #Soledar #Pervomaiskyi

77 years ago today the first atomic bomb was used in war, in #Hiroshima.
Today #Russia fires heavy artillery at will from a Nuclear Power Plant, and according to #Ukraine, fires on the plant in #Enerhodar itself to cause provocation and blame the Ukrainians.

Earlier I showed a school #Russia had shelled in #Ukraine held #Donetsk region.

The area was sealed off this morning. Many reported being woken by the sound of the suspected bomb.

#Ukraine's Gov. of #Donetsk region has again denied Russian claims that they've captured all of #Pisky.
Pavlo Kirilenko says "there is constant shelling on the front line. Yes, it's very difficult in Pisky, but the command took additional measures to prevent the enemy advance."

Their sources say cargo was unloaded and weapons and ammo are now inside the plant.

It seems impossible to verify, but @guardian among others, now reporting it after Gov of #Luhansk posted this on his Telegram channel
It's a screenshot, supposedly showing the head and hands of a Ukrainian on a fence in Popasna in July

Here is the original Telegram post by @TXlrgA0vCNNaf1G, the #Ukraine Governor of #Luhansk.
The video was taken in #Popasna, likely in July, but what is impossible to verify is if the skull and hands are real and if so, who they are of.
Quite possibly another war crime @amnesty?

Russia's state news agency says the Deputy Head of #NovayaKakhovka has not (yet) died but is critically ill after the assassination (attempt). This doesn't mean he is alive, as we've found out numerous times in the past.
