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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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..
