Army spokesman Serhiy Cherevaty told 🇺🇦TV "the situation there is difficult and intense fighting continues. Last night Russians again tried to storm the village."
Today's update from Britain backs up #Ukraine's claim to still be fighting in #Pisky (RU: #Pesky)
1/2 #Russia continues to fire from the grounds of the nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar
I've had some people confused about the names so I hope this quick guide helps.
Enerhodar (RU: #Energodar) is the town built in 1970 specifically for the then thermal power plant.
2/2
The nuclear power plant in Enerhodar was built in the 1980s. It's called the #Zaporizhzhia NPP (RU: #Zaporozhe), as this is also the name of the larger region/state.
The power plant is about 60km from Zaporizhzhia city, but Nikopol and Marhanets are just across the river.
So, geography/history lesson complete, let's report on the latest violence!
#Nikopol was hit with at least 20 shells: 9 apartment blocks, 8 private houses, a school and shops damaged, but no injuries.
Several thousand have lost electricity after #Russia's attack #StopRussia
#Ukraine's Intelligence publishes details of pilots in #Russia's Air Force whom they say carried out bombing raids on civilians.
This statement says 🇷🇺Commanders try to hide the orders to avoid war crime investigators, but pilots keep copies as insurance
The wife of an #Azov commander strongly criticises @ICRC after reports her husband is held in #Russia
Denys Prokopenko was among those surrendering in the UN/Red Cross brokered deal at #Mariupol's Azovstal plant. But Kateryna says ICRC don't answer her:
On the #Luhansk-#Donetsk regional border, the exiled Gov of Luhansk claims #Ukraine troops have "pushed back" #Russia's soldiers
Serhiy Haidai names the villages of Serebryanka + Spirne which I highlight on the map. It technically means there's still a small grey zone in Luhansk
As well as destroying all the #HIMARS in #Ukraine, #Russia's forces must be close to killing every soldier too, according to daily reports
Todays claims are 300 "Nazis" eliminated plus 5 Command posts. This is for their domestic market of course, where all is "according to plan"
At the nuclear plant in occupied #Enerhodar, I think #Russia may allow inspectors soon. That's because they've announced they have the remains and evidence of "Polish attack drones, NATO-caliber shells"
Almost certainly these just arrived after being brought from other areas.
A blaze to report in one of #Russia's most historic cities.
This fire at a cafe in central #Yekaterinburg. It was empty at the time, apparently undergoing repairs and may have been arson.
This is the street in capital #Tirana where you will find the Russian embassy. The road is called "Street of Free #Ukraine" and note the yellow and blue kerbstones!
In the far, far east of #Russia they know #Moscow doesn't really care about them.
Primorsky Krai is 9,000km from The Kremlin.
But locals complain Russia ruined their holiday with live firing exercises resulting in falling debris - this car badly damaged (a lot of RU swearing)
In occupied #Kherson more examples of garages and lock-ups being ransacked. Supposedly searches for signs of #Ukraine Partisans. But once the Orcs are in, anything can be damaged or stolen.
Yes another one to avoid really. For many years pretending to be a liberal Russian, but when it comes to the crunch, spouts nonsense... almost as if the FSB wrote the script, which of course it would not!
Vershyna is 15km from #Bakhmut. If true, #Ukraine really needs to hold the small town of Zaitseve, otherwise #Bakhmut will be under attack on different fronts.
This is escalating quickly now and does look like a huge hit for #Ukraine on the mercenary band of Russian soldiers in the #Luhansk town of #Popasna.
These photos just obtained from the scene match the location of the previous video, but there's no time-stamp
Less than a week ago a careless "journalist" (propagandist) published photos of his warm welcome to the Wagner headquarters.
The next visitor appears to be a Mr H.I.Mars
🤦🧐
I cannot verify this either but it's a video submitted by a #Ukraine patriot, claiming this is #Russia rescuing its dead and wounded following the strike in #Popasna on the Mercenary Wagner group.
The fight for #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk or #Artyomovsk) is likely to be long and bloody. #Ukraine has very defendable positions and a good network of trenches.
However the artillery fire is just incessant. Listen to this from a couple of hours ago
Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.
I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.
But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.
We fight a constant battle against X censorship, so please share, spread, recommend valued accounts and check if you or friends have been unfollowed from favourite people/accs.
Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.
It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.
🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.
#RussiansGOHOME
#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!
State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet.
Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.
Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.
So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.
We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin
Hello again and welcome to Sunday's thread on the first day of September. This is the 32nd month which has seen fighting since #Russia chose to invade its peaceful neighbour.
All the news from, and about #Ukraine in one place, updated throughout the day, every day. It's Day 921
Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.
The Kremlin says over 150 drones were shot down in the biggest Ukraine UAV attack of the war.
Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.
The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.
Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.
This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.
Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack
