🇺🇦🇷🇺WAR: Day 171 - my daily thread.

#Russia's war crimes continue; none was possible without the first - Putin's decision to invade a peaceful neighbour.

A lot of late news from #Ukraine in yesterday's thread - if you missed it, click and scroll⬇️

Britain's daily update points out the vulnerability of Russia's invaders west of the Dnipro river in occupied #Kherson region.

In fact 5 bridges in the region are now unusable despite frantic ongoing repair efforts.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine's South Division stated in its morning update the bridge near the Kakhovka Hydroelectric plant was the latest hit.
Some locals report this bridge is still being used but it's probably not safe for heavy vehicles.
There are more explosions reported now in #Lyubimivka
1/2
Not much movement lately on the eastern front with #Russia still struggling to make ground against #Ukraine's defences.

The invaders remain on the outskirts of #Bakhmut but by their own admission they are firebombing everything, even graveyards in the city in #Donetsk region
2/2

#Russia's Defence update says they "hit Chasovoy Yar, Pereezdny, Sporne, Yakovlevka and Vershiny in #Artemovsk (Ukr: #Bakhmut) direction."

They also carried out airstrikes on #Ukraine's Forces in Soledar, Zaitsevo and Vesela Dolina.

Another 200 of #Putin's cannon fodder "relieved of duty" and De-Nazified.

*Figures estimated by #Ukraine
Last night fresh Russian attacks began on a few #Ukraine cities

In #Kharkiv a college and "communications infrastructure" were hit by rockets landing in the Nemyshlyanskyi & Slobidskyi districts.

Countless more windows blown out too - take a look in this neighbourhood

#Kharkov
#Ukraine's Air Defence claims it's downed another of #Russia's Su-25 jets.

The United Forces Group, operating in the east, says it's also destroyed another 4 drones in the last 24 hours. They released these photos, which I cannot verify.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
A prisoner swap deal between #Russia and the #USA seems a little closer today.
It's likely to involve basketball star Brittney Griner, former marine Paul Whelan and illegal arms-dealer Viktor Bout.

It's one reason why the U.S. will not yet officially say #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia says people needed hospital treatment after missiles hit the market area of #Horlivka last night.

There is a video of two elderly patients being helped from an ambulance and the occupiers also released these photos, where the damage looks minimal.

#StandWithUkraine
Satellite images published by @Maxar from the Zyabrovka airfield in #Belarus seem to confirm there likely was a (serious) engine problem and single explosion. Either that or sabotage/suicide.

A T-72 tank was blown up with at least one death.

#StopRussia
Numerous artillery strikes in #Ukraine's northern oblasts of #Sumy and #Chernihiv.
Both regions were occupied in the early days of the war, five months ago.

Photos show latest damage to the villages of Senkivka + Gremyach (Chernihiv) and Basivka + Kindrativka (Sumy)

#StopRussia
One of #Russia's rockets, fired from #Belgorod region, hit a highway in #Kharkiv.

#Kharkov #RussiaIsATerrorristState #SaveUkraine
#Russia's Defence Ministry says #Pisky (RU: #Pesky) is completely occupied.

Previously it was repeatedly claimed by occupiers of #Donetsk as well as Chechen and other divisions. But this is the first time Moscow has definitively announced the total capture.
#Russia's Defence briefing also claims they've destroyed another #HIMARS system along with "up to 60 missiles"

Another two #Ukraine Mi-24 helicopters were also supposedly shot down in #Mykolaiv region.

Obviously nothing from any🇷🇺 briefing is verified
Today I've had two more contacts confirm the info that #Russia's occupiers are stealing cars in #Ukraine and trying to take them initially to Russia then beyond.

As one wrote "they are stealing everything possible, probably in preparation of leaving"

#Russia has a history of targeting #Odesa on Saturdays. Today #Ukraine's air defences have taken out a drone.

The invaders have not hit the southern port since commercial ships started being allowed to leave ports in #Odessa oblast.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Russian paratrooper reveals how he had NO idea he was invading #Ukraine as war began.

A series of explosions in occupied #Kherson oblast.

The biggest is reported to be in #Chaplynka, just 10 miles from the border with #Crimea.

On social media they also write about rockets landing at Chkalov, Novotroitskoye, Nizhnie Serogozakh and Velika Blagoveshchenka.
Unconfirmed reports of a big strike on occupiers in #Melitopol

Locals say the 'Military Committee' building has been hit. Explosions heard a long way off.

Previously these sources proved reliable. Don't know if it's a missile or partisans, but sounds too big for the Resistance.
Claim/counterclaim in #Melitopol so far - we await photos & proof

Meanwhile Vitaliy Kim, Head of #Mykolaiv says #Russia's entire command retreated east of river Dnipro in #Kherson, leaving cannon fodder behind

Today's strikes in Kherson region are up to 140km from the frontline
Fire growing in strength in #Donetsk.

This is the Leninskyi district of the occupied city and presumably follows an air strike.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Three people were wounded in #Kharkiv overnight. It's now known one of those is a child in a serious condition.

Here's a new video of the destruction by one of the college's in the region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Just out for a quiet day's fishing in #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv oblast.

The this happened... "my hands are trembling, that's the end of fishing"

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW
Yesterday it was a Red Army soldier in #Chernivtsi, today it's Maksim Gorky in #Kropyvnytskyi (RU: #Kirovograd) region of #Ukraine.

The decision to dismantle the bust of the Russian writer was taken by #Oleksandriya council, who will place it in safe storage.

#StandWithUkraine
Another big explosion in #NovayaKakhovka this evening.

Busy day in #Kherson oblast for the #HIMARS, which of course have all been destroyed twice by #Russia!

#StopRussia
Another unverified report of sabotage inside occupied #Ukraine

Ex-Mayoral adviser to #Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko says the whole city heard the explosion at a scrap metal place.
"We punish the greed of the occupiers with the ingenuity of the Mariupol resistance."
Still no news on what #Ukraine's rockets hit in #NovayaKakhovka but it burned well.

Occupiers in #Kherson are feeling distinctly uneasy this evening.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Montenegro has declared #Russias ambassador to the country as "persona non grata"

He has 7 days to leave the country.
Montenegro says Vladislav Maslenikov was carrying out activities in contravention of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Communications

1/2

The run of days without an attack on #Mykolaiv ended today.

The southern #Ukraine city was shelled twice in a matter of hours this afternoon and evening.

it's known at least one person was badly injured.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
2/2

There's also a short video from #Mykolaiv shot after the second attack tonight.

A rocket exploded next to a residential building according to the mayor of the city

#Nikolaev #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
#StopRussia
Just a senior "church" member breaking the Geneva Convention, sanctioning war crimes

Bishop Leonid Gorbachev of Russia's Orthodox Church, posted a video humiliating #Ukraine prisoners of war - forcing them to sing, stood on a table in front of 🇷🇺 flag

Screenshot: I hid the I.D.
New explosions in #Kherson tonight.

First indicators are that #Russia's air defences are finally working. #Ukraine may have been targeting the Antonivskyi Bridge again.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
An interesting view in the centre of #Donetsk tonight.

Two rockets are said to have landed in the occupied city. Part of the Donetsk National University is said to be damaged.

#StopRussia
Two rockets have hit #Kharkiv in the last few minutes.

Many in the city report a loss of electricity after the strikes.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Latest chatter in #Kherson is that the #Ukraine missiles have have hit the bridge after all.

Some locals suggesting there may have been as many as FOUR hits on the left bank of the #Antonivskyi road bridge.

Until we get photos from #Kherson's Antonivskyi Bridge, let's see how the newly installed "radar reflectors" are doing.

Here's a still from a news report on Russian TV earlier from the Kakhovka bridge near the Hydroelectric power plant where the security gadgets are 💩🤣🤣

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
