🇺🇦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

📷@AP
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

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
