🇺🇦Happy 31st birthday #Ukraine🇺🇦
It's Independence Day, but it also marks exactly 6 months since #Russia's jets, tanks + troops invaded the country (8 years after the start of the war)

This is daily thread number 182. All the news all the time

Y'day⬇️
Firstly, Hero of #Ukraine, Boris Johnson made sure famous 10 Downing Street was decked in the colours of Ukraine.

The British PM has just 10 days left in Office.

#SlavaUkraini #UkraineIndependenceDay

Not directly related to the war (unless sabotage) but a breaking story in #Russia

Three ships have been ripped from anchor in a storm at Baidukov Island in the #Amur Estuary - that's the very far east of Russia near #Sakhalin

54 were on board and a rescue operation is underway.
The start of the night was noisy and scary in many areas of #Ukraine.

Governor of #Kharkiv confirms the Novobavarsky district was the latest to be hit in the third round of missile attacks in the city so far.

No new details - this was an earlier strike:

In #Dnipropetrovsk a new attack in the last few minutes.

Flames visible at the scene. Further information cannot be given under the terms of martial law.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Some are reporting explosions in #Odesa. From what I'm hearing, #Ukraine's air defence likely shot down a drone. No rockets arrived.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Also on the Southern Defensive line, #Ukraine's military says it hit another #Russia ammo dump in #Novovoskresensk

They also claim they eliminated 13 Russian troops and destroyed a Howitzer and army vehicles, during helicopter strikes in Novovoznesensk, #Arkhangelsk + #Pravdyno
It's being reported that the goons who invaded #Ukraine from #Belarus, taking over #Chernobyl, may already have died of radiation.

President @ZelenskyyUa said nothing is known for sure, but they had information those soldiers were no longer alive.

Ukrainians are very excited that @Google has recognised #UkraineIndependenceDay with a special doodle.

However I cannot see it in the UK.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A withering attack on #Russia today in the #UK's daily Intel report.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
9 people have been injured in the latest shelling of #Mykolaiv oblast.

In total there were 3 attacks. Firstly shelling of the Bashtansky & Bereznegovat communities damaged buildings.

Then the casualties, inc 2 children, happened in Novyi Buh when rockets hit private houses.
#Ukraine's Resistance has killed the Head collaborator of the Occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia/#Zaporozhe region.

A car bomb exploded in the village of #Mykhailivka, killing Ivan Sushko.

#Russia's state news agency TASS just confirmed the news.

#StopRussiaNOW
Virtually the last prominent Putin critic in #Russia is arrested.

Popular ex-Mayor of #Yekaterinburg Mayor Yevgeny Roizman detained for “discrediting the Army"

@roizmangbn told reporters it's "basically for one phrase, 'the invasion of Ukraine'. I say it everywhere, say it now"
Important to get across the point that #Ukraine and its people are so resilient. #Kyiv is recovering, eventually so will the whole country

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

In #Poltava region Russia has bombed military targets.

It happened in #Myrhorod, with regional head Dmytro Lunin confirming 4 X-22 (air to surface) missiles had hit infrastructure, but no civilian casualties are reported.

#StopRussianAggression #StandWithUkraine
One of last night's mysteries is solved.
In #Kharkiv some even thought a plane had been shot down, but what happened is an Iskander cruise missile malfunctioned, exploding before impact.

Fragments of the rocket were found in the roof of a house in the centre

#StopRussia
Major incident in occupied #Donetsk...

The "Galaktika" shopping centre has been ablaze for a couple of hours and fire is still raging. It's thought a missile strike was to blame, but not confirmed.

#Ukraine has no history of, or need to, attacking shopping centres.
You've probably already seen, but Boris has turned up again in #Kyiv.

The British PM now has a plaque in his honour by #Ukraine's Parliament and went for another walkabout with President @ZelenskyyUa

The @washingtonpost reports that The Kremlin called Zelenskyy on the first day of the war to offer #Ukraine the chance to surrender.

Two days later #Belarus' Defence Minister called his counterpart in #Ukraine to again try to negotiate a surrender.

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/08/2…
A road in #NewYork has been renamed "Ukrainian Way" to show solidarity with the nation.

#Ukraine's ambassador to the US, Oksana Markarova reported on her Facebook page. The road is in the Brighton Beach area, which is known by many as "Little Odessa"

#StandWithUkraine
The mid-western city of #Khmelnytskyi has been hit with rockets. Around 300km west of Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi has seldom been targeted before.

4 missiles were launched from #Belarus just before 5.30pm, probably from Russian jets

No word on casualties yet
#RussiaIsATerroristState
In #Vinnytsia, air defence has shot down a Russian drone.

Air defence also working in #Kharkiv and may have done the same.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
An 11-year-old child has been killed by #Russia in #Dnipropetrovsk.

Rockets hit the town of #Synelnykove (RU: #Sinelnikovsky), about 40km south-east of #Dnipro city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Almost all of #Ukraine is under air raid warning right now. Mainly due to Russian jets patrolling border areas and occupied territories.

Confirmed in #Kharkiv two incoming missiles have been hit by air defence, but in the region, something has been on fire in #Chuhuiv for hours
A big fire in #Siedove in #Donetsk oblast.
This is a coastal village just 5km from the Russian border.

I doubt #Ukraine's army can reach this far from the frontline, so the cause of the blaze remains unknown for now.

#StopRussia
There's to be a football league of Occupied States according to a new announcement by #Russia.
Sadly they've chosen the farcical name of "Commonwealth Football League"

Teams from #Luhansk #Donetsk #Abkhazia #SouthOssetia, #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kharkiv + #Crimea will take part.
Quite a few rockets launched towards #Donetsk today.

This was the result of missiles hitting the Petrivskyi district of the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine
The Vatican has announced The Pope will NOT meet the head of the Russian Orthodox Church when they both attend a gathering of religious leaders in Kazakhstan next month.

The Kremlin says preparations were "unilaterally suspended" by The Vatican.
Earlier I reported on the major strike on a shopping centre in #Donetsk.

I still think it's unlikely #Ukraine did this. There's been little outrage from the occupiers to be honest.

This is how the Galatika centre looked this afternoon:
Looks as if #Ukraine's army did hit something in #NovaKakhovka though...

This in occupied #Kherson region.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
On #UkraineIndependenceDay
the deadliest attack on the country for 3 months.

#Russia has hit a train in #Chaplyne in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

President Zelenskyy announced at least 15 dead and 50 injured.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Social media in Russia (and #Ukraine) is abuzz about why #Putin's cavalcade has made a late night dash to the Kremlin.

What can the matter be?

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The fire I reported on earlier in #Donetsk region, near the border with #Russia, is spreading.

This is the scene in #Novoazovsk this evening.
There were reports of explosions of #Pavlohrad in #Dnipropetrovsk oblast.

However pretty sure it was just patriotic Ukrainians celebrating #UkraineIndependenceDay

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.

Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.

Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.

Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:

No missiles were fired at Ukraine overnight, and "only" 57 attack drones.

As Russia fired mostly at soft targets in front line regions, the air defence stats don't look good.

Just 18 UAVs were shot down and 7 stopped by EW, which is 44% Image

I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.

It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.

Catching up? Click, scroll down to where you left off.
Can't remember where you got up to? Try liking every post then when you scroll back you see where♥️end
1/2
A massive 35 missiles were fired by Russia, mostly this morning, along with 344 suicide drones.

Ukraine shot down:
7/12 ballistic missiles
7/8 Iskander-K cruise
9/15 Kh-101 cruise

But more interesting is that Ukraine says all the other 7 cruise missiles were disabled by EW Image
