We've reached Day 175 of #PutinsWar.

#Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine continues.

This is the start of the daily thread with all the news and views regarding the war.

If you want to scroll through yesterday's 🧵 here's the link

Thankfully another quiet night. It's unlikely to be a coincidence that it came after #Ukraine's successful strikes on bases in #Crimea.

Both sides continue to suffer heavy losses at the front but logistics are becoming a big problem now for #Russia.

One #Ukraine city that was shelled this morning is #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

#Russia shelled the Mohyla university. The mayor published these photos of the building, adding that just this week he'd shot video to show there was no military activity there.

#StopRussia

At least one in 8 of all Jews have fled #Russia since the invasion of #Ukraine.

The mass exodus comes amid fear of persecution in #Putin's extremist society.

#Nikopol was shelled again overnight, but here too the barrage was much less than usual

Dnipropetrovsk Gov Valentin Reznichenko says the town was attacked 3 times during the night and Kryvorizky was also hit

No casualties, but private houses, cars and a gas pipeline are damaged

No deaths or injuries in #Kharkiv after the much reduced shelling there too.

Oleh Sinehubov says #Russia "fired at least 5 rockets from Belgorod across the territory of the #Kharkov region."

One of the missiles hit the Slobidskyi district of Kharkiv.

#StandWithUkraine

24 hours after the hit on the Russian base in #Dzhankoy, the Head of occupied #Crimea has just announced that explosions there have stopped. No wonder they needed a 5km evacuation zone!

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine

Can you imagine a country being proud of this and people accepting it?

#Russia announces it's spending 58m rubles on a new system "Oculus"

The daily British update concentrates on yesterday's news from #Crimea

The Governor of #Odesa says 4 civilians were injured in attacks by Russian Tu-22M3 strategic aviation aircraft with the launch of Kh-22 missiles. A subsequent fire has now been localised.

A recreation center and several private buildings were hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

#Russia's dead soldiers top 44,000 now, according to estimates by #Ukraine

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️

Quick update about the aircraft attack in #Odesa.

These photos of the site have just been released. A reminder four civilians are injured while the fire is now out.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussiaNOW

This video supposedly shows the total destruction following a #HIMARS attack on a Russian base at #Kakhovka in #Kherson region.

It's not often we see such extensive detail from the occupied lands.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this but it's a video doing the rounds in #Ukraine right now.

The allegation is that outside a kindergarten in #Luhansk, a father was "encouraged" to join #Russia's (LPR) army.

This is the spirit #Russia's fighting against.
The fight for freedom, to protect your land, at all costs.

After the attacks on #Russia's bases in occupied #Crimea, it looks like the invaders are moving many of their aircraft back to the mainland.

#Ukraine's intelligence reports at least 24 planes and 14 helicopters have been seen flying away.

#Ukraine definitely was behind the attacks in #Crimea. That's the finding of a report by CNN quoting an internal Ukraine govt which was shared with the network.

This backs up what I've heard that drones were used for yesterday's blasts in 2 bases.

Recently @Starbucks left #Russia.
How will the invaders cope?

With a completely different chain. Any connection is purely coincidental, right?

It's now known four people were injured in the earlier shelling in #Odesa region.

The town of #Zatoka was the target with 7 recreation centres and 15 houses there being levelled.
