It's the daily thread of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
We are at day 167, soon we will reach 6 months since the illegal invasion.

It was a mercifully quiet night in Ukraine, but if you missed any of yesterday's news, check back through the thread here:

1/2
The situation around Europe's largest nuclear power plant remains worrying. #Russia still hasn't permitted the #UN or #IAEA into the #Zaporizhzhia plant in #Enerhodar.

That's usual for #Russia - they give themselves time to make the sire "clean" (move the artillery out!)

@TheStudyofWar

2/2
There have been reports online of a Russian General threatening to blow up the nuclear plant in #Enerhodar rather than let it be recaptured by #Ukraine.

I avoided reporting this and @TheStudyofWar now also considers it "fake news" and distracting

understandingwar.org/backgrounder/r…

#Russia has been firing from the nuclear plant virtually every day towards the #Ukraine town of #Nikopol.

Overnight another 120 shells launched according to Dnipropetrovsk Governor Valentyn Reznichenko.
No deaths and just one civilian injured.

#Moldova fears it will be #Russia's next target.

The Deputy Prime Minister Oleg Serebrian believes false reports of infrastructure in the country being mined and the increasing calls from some for Transdnistria to unite with Russia are vital signs:

odessa-journal.com/moldova-believ…

In #Kharkiv 4 missiles land early this morning.

#Ukraine again says no military targets were near the hits in Industrial zone where tram rails and a 2 storey building were damaged. No injuries.

No photos yet, but new cctv video of a missile smashing into a car in #Kharkov y'day

I'm sceptical about polls - it's all about how you phrase the question, so bear that in mind..

Over half of Russians believe the war has "dragged on" and most would be in favour of Putin ending the "special military operation" according to the Russian Field sociological service.

1/2
#Russia really is scraping the barrel now to convince the public 50,000 deaths is worthwhile in #PutinsWar.

They dredge up 77 years old documents to "prove" some Ukrainians were "plotting" with Nazis.

What they fail to say of course is that Russia plotted and aided Nazis..

2/2
...from 1939-1941, Russian leaders signing pacts with Nazis.

Considering #Russia had murdered and carried out a genocide of 5-10 million Ukrainians (#Holodomor), it's not too surprising patriots would side with anyone to try to break free from the tyranny of the Soviet Union

This is definitely NOT someone burning toast in #Kherson. Looks like another far more serious problem for the invaders from #Russia.

Blue skies and smoke over Russian bases is just about the perfect start to the day for #Ukraine's patriots.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Looks like #Ukraine's rockets are causing a lot of damage in #Kherson already.

The base at Novoalekseevka is really getting going now.

#StopRussiaNOW

Targets also being hit by #Ukraine it seems in occupied #Donetsk region.

This is from the Kuibyshevskyi district of the city a short while ago.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussianAggression

While before sunrise in #Donetsk oblast it looks as though #HIMARS may have struck a Russian base in #Volnovakha. That's midway between Donetsk and Mariupol'

#StopRussia

Over the last month, #Russia, on its most successful front, managed to advance only 300m a day.

That's the assessment today from British Intelligence.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine

A bumper "crop" of Russian soldiers for #Ukraine yesterday.

This is mainly as a result of the multiple #HIMARS strikes on Russian bases in #Kherson and #Donetsk the night before last.

#StopRussianAggression

Another exchange of bodies has occurred between the two sides. This time 17 bodies of fallen Ukrainian and Russian soldiers were passed back to the respective sides.

#StandWithUkraine

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1556566402382839810

A man who was injured after a rocket attack in #Uman' yesterday, has today died of his injuries.

Debris from the missile fell on him when air defence hit the missile in the central #Ukraine city.

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1556566402382839810

In #Kherson region, reports of an explosion in #NovayaMayachka.

Certainly air defence is active in the occupied region.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

So I took a flight and it all kicked off in #Crimea while I was offline!

Big explosions at the Saki military airfield on the occupied peninsula.

Initially #Russia blamed #Ukraine however they now say "a violation of fire safety regulations" caused this:

#StopRussia

#Ukraine also distanced itself from the fireball in #Novofedorivka on #Crimea

Satellite photos show 43 aircraft were at Saki just before the catastrophe. Obviously #Russia says none was damaged!

Considering they admit 9 people are injured it seems unlikely all aircraft escaped

#Crimea - there was plenty of damage from blasts in nearby apartment blocks following the blast at the Saki military air base.

Two warehouses of weapons seems to have been ignited.

If a military strike is ruled out, it raises the very real possibility of sabotage.

#StopRussia

@nytimes

The @nytimes immediately said the explosions in #Crimea were the work of #Ukraine's armed forces.
This may still be possible, and for Russia it could be embarrassing to admit.

However Kyiv states "The MoD cannot establish the cause of the fire"

facebook.com/10006907384482…

So, #Russia's claims that no aircraft were damaged don't look to be holding up too well!

Same lies as always. What a great day for #Ukraine if the majority of their jets, helicopters and weapons at the Saki airfield have gone up in smoke.

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2068248338655244594?s=20

Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2068248338655244594?s=20

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2066426685738692820?s=20

I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals.

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2066022348591919533?s=20

This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2061248848287379528?s=20

There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region.

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2058375526079705330?s=20

I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:

There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job.

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2057745272709546078?s=20

Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2057745272709546078?s=20

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
