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.
#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.
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.
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.
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
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!
#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"
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.
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?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌

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!💙💛
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 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
It's Friday! The weekend approaches.
It's also the 814th day of #Russia trying to destroy #Ukraine, its language, culture and people, and over 10 years since the first invasion.
For all the news on Day 814 keep clicking back here.
No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.
