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.

#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!
#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."

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

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.
