It's Friday and the war in #Ukraine never stops.

Today I'll try to find out what really happened in #Crimea while #Russia bombs🇺🇦again

Only just realised I made a typo on the day number. Yesterday was Day 176, today is the 177th day of the illegal war.

Still nothing 100% confirmed from #Crimea after a lot of activity last night.

In both #Kerch and #Sevastopol the occupiers say they shot down🇺🇦drones to explain explosions.

Many sources say the main Belbek airport was hit as 4 very loud bangs rang out

It is generally accepted though that #Ukraine took out one of #Russia's ammo bases near the border.

Two villages were evacuated by #Belgorod authorities after the cache was struck near the village of #Timonovo - this evidence was too hard to conceal.

The fact #Ukraine's Presidential Adviser Oleskiy Arestovych openly trolled #Russia almost immediately as the drama unfolded in #Crime and #Belgorod, increases the likelihood this was a coordinated multiple-strike by Kyiv.

In occupied #Kherson big losses reported for #Russia

#Ukraine's South command says it again hit Kakhovskyi bridge by Kakhovka hydroelectric plant

In 4 strikes in the area, they claim destruction of:
73 🇷🇺 troops
3 tanks
4 launchers
1 air defence radar
5 armoured vehicles
Ammo
In #Mykolaiv, the Mayor this morning has confirmed "powerful explosions"

The city also seems to have been hit before midnight as several powerful explosions rang out in #Nikolaev.

However, unusually, no photos or videos from either "attack" posted yet.

#StopRussia
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Kharkiv is under attack right now.
It's virtually a nightly occurrence. The north east city has been the subject of the heaviest attacks in recent weeks.

#Kharkov #StopRussia
#RussiaIsATerroristState
It seems at least 3 missiles have hit #Kharkiv.
Another video - this time the moment of one of the missiles arriving in the city.

The image has to be pixelated in line with Martial Law.

#StandWithUkraine #Kharkov
Another video from #Kharkiv.
This is from strikes on the city - also reports of one attack in the #Kharkov region.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
The all-clear has been sounded in #Kharkiv.

#Kharkov mayor Terekhov's initial update states there were blows in the Kyivsky, Osnovyansky + Nemyshlyansky districts.

A residential building was struck, without casualties, while there's a fire after "infrastructure" was hit.
Occupiers in #Donetsk say a woman was killed by shelling in #Horlivka.

* Caution - Video shows a body covered with a sheet *
Earlier I reported on the attack on #Mykolaiv.

First light has brought the first picture.
Again, #Russia has targeted the historic Petro Mohyla university.

#Nikolaev #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Russian occupiers are getting edgy in #Crimea

On the outskirts of #Sevastopol new roadblocks/checkpoints occurred.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
#Kramatorsk has also been shelled by #Russia this morning.

The targets are educational institutions. No casualties reported.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Today an exceptionally high number of Russian soldiers reported to have died. Also a massive amount of vehicles destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
After the secret filming inside the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar, the Russians suddenly admit its military IS inside the plant.

Minister Sergey Rybakov says it's "to guarantee that a Chernobyl scenario will not be implemented" 🤡

He's right. More fossil fuels bought from #Russia means more cash for The Kremlin's war. More destruction, more death and even worse for the environment.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

#Kharkiv - the moment when you look for where you left your car the night before😂😂

#Kharkov #Ukraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Reports in #Kursk region of #Russia that it was attacked by drones today.

The usually reliable TG channel Baza exclusively revealed 5 bombs were dropped in 2 separate incidents.

A border guard was injured and cars damaged.
No photos or evidence.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The death toll in the attack on a dormitory in #Kharkiv has risen to 21.

In total six bodies were discovered in the rubble, which has just been cleared, 30 hours after the attack.

Nine people were rescued, including two children.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine #Kharkov
The Secretary General of the @UN arrived in #Odesa.
It's his first visit to #Ukraine's largest port.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine
The President of #Kazakhstan has arrived in #Russia.

After some of his recent statements and actions, I'd advise President Tokaev to avoid cups of tea and not stand near any windows.
He is meting Putin in Sochi - let's see if he still says the same after Kremlin pressure.
Awaiting news from occupied #Kherson region

More explosions reported on social media by locals in #NovaKakhovka in the last few minutes, but could be supersonic aircraft.
Recently #Ukraine has attacked the bridges by the #Kakhovka hydroelectric plant

#NovayaKakhovka #StopRussia
It looks like #Ukraine has found something interesting in the Kievskyi district of #Donetsk.

Coordinated strikes on a target a little earlier.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️
#UN chief @antonioguterres insists electricity generated at the Russian-held #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant belongs to #Ukraine

Speaking in #Odesa, Mr Guterres reacting to rumours #Russia was may cut the power from Ukraine's grid said "This principle must be fully respected."
"Darwin awards" new candidate.

Some clever Russian soldiers messed around with a drone, filming their camp...

But forgot to wipe the memory card, lost control of the drone, Ukraine captured it and the memory card showing them where in #Mykolaiv region the enemy was!

#Nikolaev
#Russia announced it will stop pumping any gas to Europe through its Nord-Stream pipeline at the end of the month.

Gazprom has announced it needs to carry out maintenance and supplies are being stopped for 3 days from 31 August.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Turns out Macron's been calling Vova again...

#Russia's state news agency released details of Putin's conversation with the French President, with The Kremlin taking the opportunity to give the Russian version of what's happening at the nuclear plant.

This #Ukraine news organisation reckons Putin sent Erdogan to L'viv to try to get a ceasefire.

The Turkish and Russian Presidents met recently in Asia before Erdogan headed to Ukraine. It's thought #Russia wants a break "to restore combat capability"

24tv.ua/rezultati-pere…
A whole load of new aid coming #Ukraine's way.

The United States is set to announce $775m worth of equipment including drones and "mine resistant" vehicles.

16 new Howitzer rocket launchers will also be part of the deal to help #StopRussia

apnews.com/article/russia…
An NGO based in #Ukraine has asked #Switzerland's government to investigate a possible war crime on one of its citizens

Journalist Guillaume Briquet was wounded in #Mykolaiv region in March. His car, with Swiss plates + "PRESS" written on it was attacked

swissinfo.ch/por/queixa-apr…
Occupiers in #Mariupol are finally getting around to demolishing some of the buildings they ruined.

It's very likely hundreds, maybe thousands of bodies, were never humanely recovered. Easy to hide the war crimes with no-one watching you.
#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
A rare glimpse of some of the thousands of wounded Russians heading home from #Ukraine.

They're the lucky ones, escaping with their lives intact in this senseless and illegal war launched by #Russia.

Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.

Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.

More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.

Catch up here:

What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.

This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.

This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.

It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Far right MPs?🇺🇦❌🇷🇺✅
Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.

You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.

This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.

Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛

On Saturday there were stories of #Ukraine sinking a ship in #Taganrog.

Now #Russia's independent BAZA reports a barge there was hit and the tugboat "Inzhener Smirnov"

Two crew members are reported injured.

It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.

This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.

All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
First though, your chance to look back on Thursday's news. If you missed anything, click + scroll here:
First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT

#Russia tries to claim a "double tap" attack by #Ukraine has killed a fireman + injured 3 more.

The Governor of #Oryol says a drone hit a gas station in #Livna, a few minutes later another struck the same place

Do we really believe Ukraine suddenly started copying this🇷🇺tactic? Image
