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.

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.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

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 humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

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.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

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:

Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

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:

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:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
