It's Thursday, it's Day 183 of #Russia's 3-4 day plan to capture #Kyiv, and the timetable to control all of #Ukraine is 173 days behind schedule!

Quite a lot of news late y'day, read on for today's developments, or click here to scroll through y'day's 🧵
The situation at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar remains tense.

#Russia even tried to block President Zelenskyy from speaking via video link at the #UN

Here's the UK Intel briefing for Thursday

#StopRussia
#Japan has been vocal in its' criticism of #Russia but today decided to continue investment in the "Sakhalin-2" project.

Tokyo says it's for energy security as Mitsubishi + Mitsui seek to remain in Russia's key LNG export plan in the far East.

Moscow may yet reject the offer.
Two missiles hit #Kyiv region overnight.

Regional head Oleksiy Kuleba confirmed the attack on #Vyshhorod district, but no civilians were hurt.

Residents report air defences were working loudly.

#Ukraine #StopRussiaNOW
The death toll in the train and station attack has risen to 25.

31 other civilians were injured when Russian missiles smashed into #Chaplyne about 100km south-east of #Dnipro.

Two children, aged 6 and 11, are among the dead
#RussiaIsATerroristState

Some are reporting that #Ukraine has again hit the Antonivskyi Bridge in #Kherson, quoting Serhiy Bratchuk of #Odesa's administration

I actually think he's made more a warning "work will continue" on this bridge, while confirming new hits on the #Kakhovka bridge, presumably here
It looks like #Russia may have used generally outlawed cluster ammunition on #KryvyiRih in #Dnipropetrovsk overnight.

Photos this morning shows the remains of an attack likely from the Tornado-S MLRS. However neither Russia nor #Ukraine signed the treaty banning their use.
In Putin's #Russia, millions struggle under sanctions while billions are spent on the war. But some are doing ok.

Take the 2nd in command at the Min of Defence, Shoigu's mate and Deputy, Ruslan Tsalikov.
His kids have spent £85m on real estate this year.

theins.ru/news/254387
#Mariupol' is temporarily occupied by #Russia.
But Resistance is still strong.
Overnight some patriots managed to raise the #Ukraine flag in the city.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
It's now known three people were injured yesterday when missiles smashed in to #Khmelnytskyi.

A woman and two children were struck by flying glass after the explosions in the Shepetiv district.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#Russia has accumulated over 400 jets and 360 combat helicopters at #Ukraine's borders.

#Ukraine needs more air defence, although the invaders can fire missiles while in Belarusian or Russian air-space.

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/08/2…
#Russia has admitted the attack on the train and railway station at #Chaplyne in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

The Kremlin says “a direct hit by an Iskander missile on a military echelon at Chaplino (killed) more than 200 #Ukraine servicemen and 10 units of military equipment"
Reports of heavy fog and smoke in occupied #Mariupol' on #Ukraine's south coast.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Smoke seen over the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar.

Locals report there is no electricity in many parts of #Kherson #Berdyansk #Melitopol #Energodar and villages.
Water and mobile phone signals also turned off in some areas.
#Ukraine's South Command has destroyed Russia's ammunition base in #NovaKakhovka, as well as command posts of tactical groups of artillery in Kakhovsky & Beryslavsky area.

They also state "the condition of the Antonivskyi bridge has once again been corrected" but no proof so far
More attacks by #Ukraine patriots in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Yesterday a collaborator was murdered in a car bomb. Today the Occupiers' HQ in the village of #Priazovsky (near #Melitopol) was hit by an explosion.
No proof of the claims.
This building was used to hand out 🇷🇺passports
So an update on the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

Power has now been restored to most regions, radiation levels are normal.

For the first time in its history the plant was taken "off line" - possibly due to nearby fires causing problems with power lines.

These photos appeared, said to show an Occupiers' manual, how to deal with awkward questions (unverified)

e.g.
Q: I don't want to live in Russia
A: You're just afraid (report them to police)

Q: Why does Russian army loot?
A: Russian army is not looting, unlike Ukraine
#RussiaOnFire

This one possibly a grudge/mafia?

The famous Equestrian complex "Levadia" near #Moscow is well ablaze.

It's in the village of Orlovo - reported that they evacuated 15 horses.
Maybe #Putin's late night dash to the Kremlin was after learning about the lack of soldiers on the frontline?

How else to explain the surprise decision to hurriedly sign a decree today, increasing military personnel by 137,000?

Full-time military members will now be 2,039,758
We now have a video of the building allegedly attacked by #Ukraine's Resistance near #Melitopol

One citizen has died in as rockets landed in #Chuhuiv (RU: Chuguev) this afternoon.

pro-#Russia channels report they hit weapons stored by #Ukraine.

#Kharkiv #StopRussia
#Russia claims this photo from #Chaplyne railway station proves its attack was justified.

25 people, including two children, died when the invaders fired cruise missiles on the town in #Dnipropetrovsk

Russia claims military vehicles can clearly be seen, on their way to Donetsk
In #Donetsk this fire is supposedly in a private house.

A lot of black smoke and loud "pops" though...

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Interesting that another prominent Russian politician has said #Russia is ready to talk with #Ukraine.

Not so long since Russia was not going to talk until Zelenskyy surrendered, overthrown or killed.

Now I really am wondering what was so urgent for Putin last night!
On which planet is this morally acceptable?

Oh another one's (belatedly) gone:

Jack's saved me a lot of work! Nice one!

#Ukraine seemed to claim it had hit the #Antonivskyi bridge again, but if they did, it doesn't seem to have hurt #Russia

This new video proves what we already knew: they're making a pontoon bridge to replace the current pontoon ferry which carries 1,000 pieces of equipment/day.
Look at the remains of the train which #Russia bombed yesterday in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

25 people died, including two children at the station in #Chaplyne.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Zelenskyy & Biden agree on the need to return the nuclear plant to #Ukraine's control and allow the IAEA visit.

They also discussed tightening #Russia sanctions while Zelensky proposed bilateral coordination to restore critical infrastructure facilities.

Pres @ZelenskyyUa calls for international pressure to force Russia to quit the nuclear power plant.

"The world must understand what a threat this is: if the diesel generators did not turn on, we would already be forced to overcome the consequences of a radiation accident"
In occupied #Horliva in #Donetsk region, missiles caused fired in a transformer substation in the Stirol plant and in the roof of the Transammiak plant, the roof of the building is on fire .
Seems the fires on the south coast of #Ukraine in the occupied territory are growing, unless there's been a missile strike.

This is Bilosarayska, a spit of land between Berdyan'sk and Mariupol', in #Donetsk region.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The night shelling of #Nikopol is underway already.

Explosions heard, and now a fire at the scene. No word yet what exactly is ablaze.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
Maybe the pontoon bridge under the #Antonivskyi was just too tempting...

This video (audio only) is said to be from near the bridge in #Kherson. Only air defence here or missiles landing too?

#Ukraine #RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
The Leader of the European People's Party, @ManfredWeber has spoken strongly in favour of a ban on visas for Russians.

"We don't want those who are partly responsible for this war to go on vacation with us."

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:
1/2
 Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
 The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

 This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
 There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.
