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.
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.
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
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
#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.
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.
Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.
Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.
Here's Monday's daily🧵

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries
Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.
I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).
There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.
I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.
He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds.
Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.
Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine
Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"
It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.
Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
