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."

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Hello again! We start the 231st week of all-out war in Ukraine.

Day 1615 of Russia's full invasion to be precise, or 4,541 since Putin began his plan to annex Crimea & invaded south/east Ukraine.

I've covered Ukraine since before the 2013/4 Maidan revolution. Here's today's🧵
Yesterday was another crazily long thread, with a lot of stories, but many of them came back to the central point. Terrorism.

Even Iran joined in, but most sickening was the missile strike on a supermarket, then a total lack of reporting it in the west.

There were a lot of attacks inside Russia overnight, more on that soon, but let's start with some numbers.

In the last 24 hours, the biggest number of dead/dying/captured Russians for months, reaching almost 1,600

Almost 36,000 in July already. Only 5 months have reached 40k. Image

Day 1605 of the war in Europe.

Eyes on the war in Ukraine have been dragged from the frontlines to political battles in Kyiv. It's Day 2 of public protests against Zelenskyy's siding with a Soviet-era General against a young Defence Minister.

This is Friday's daily thread:
The People of Ukraine mobilised on to the streets yesterday, for the first time since forcing Zelenskyy to back down over his attempts to silence NABU, the anti-corruption agency.

But lots more news too on Thursday. Click the link to see what you missed

Let's start with Tanker Bingo!

12 more Russian vessels 'caught fire' in the night, with a little help from Magyar and his team, piloting 'birds' to their targets.

All today's hits were in the Black Sea:
9 dry cargo ships
1 tanker
1 gas tanker
1 tugboat

Please go easy on me today as I start the daily thread on Day 1604. I think I am suffering from DIMS.

Double Incompetent Management Syndrome - resulting in losing a football match and a very good, well respected reformer as Head of Ukraine's Ministry of Defence.

OK, let's go..
There's already huge fall out over the make up of 🇺🇦 new cabinet, particularly the sacking of Mykhailo Fedorov as Defence Min.

The rumours were true. Zelenskyy confirmed his decision last night.
Ukraine still had time to attack a 🇷🇺airbase.
Catch up here
I've just been listening to, and transcribing, Mykhailo Fedorov, who happened to be scheduled to speak this morning.

Here's what he had to say, in the wake of his sacking as Defence Minister: Image

Another 100 days of war is completed as we reach Day 1600 of Russia's all-out invasion.

100 days is a long time to be fighting for your life, yet now it's "just another 100" not even a real milestone.

Think of that as we delve into another Ukraine news thread,
I'm maybe the only person to compile a daily🧵every single day of the 1600

So much has changed since we reached 100 days - click here if you wish to take a trip down memory lane

At that time <31k 🇷🇺casualties. Continuing at that rate =495k. Instead 1.4m
Here's the more traditional link, back to the start of yesterday's thread. Saturday was a day which saw more Russian ships fail to outrun Ukraine's drones and the establishment of the "Magyar Triangle"

Loads of news yesterday, and you should check it out

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

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
