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
This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.
Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120
Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.
Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.
I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:
It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK
Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)
#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliation
Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.
This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.
As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?
Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.
If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:
1/2 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.
Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
