Sunday 28 August, it's Day 186 of #Russia's full scale invasion.

The day begins with the usual sounds of shelling and terror by the Terrorist State upon #Ukraine. Updates to follow..

Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread

#Zaporizhzhia once again a focal point for #Russia's invaders.

There are indeed reports of firing in both directions, across the frontline which separates free and occupied ZP.

Reliable reports of explosions in occupied areas, while #Ukraine says its' air defence is working:
In #Kharkiv there are conflicting reports.
Some channels say air defences working well here too.
However others posting on social media about "arrivals" in the area, and the audio on this video clip is convincing

#StandWithUkraine #Kharkov #StopRussia
#Dnipropetrovsk oblast also suffering explosions a little earlier.

The south of the region was being hit by Russian missiles, around #KrivyiRih and in #Marhanets where this video is from although it doesn't reveal too much.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
No videos/photos yet from some of the occupied areas, but reliable reports that #Ukraine has taken out a Russian base in #Melitopol and over the regional border in #Kherson oblast, early intel suggests another attack by the Hydroelectric plant in #Kakhovka.
In Occupied #Donetsk plenty of these types of videos on social media.

A busy night for air defence. Not clear yet if any missiles reached their intended targets.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
Meanwhile let's take a look how #Russia's world is going in occupied #Ukraine.

This is #Donetsk, where after 8 years not too much pushing and shoving as water is handed out.
Taps? Pipes? Who needs those? Putin doesn't give a s**t, which is just as well considering the plumbing!
A new report says "Russians are using underground bunkers at the (#Zaporizhzhia) Nuclear power plant (in #Enerhodar) to hold and torture the ever-increasing number of Ukrainians they abduct"

The daily British Govt Intel looks at the news I wrote about 3 days ago - the notional increase in army numbers.

#StopRussianAggression #SaveUkraine
Seems Saturday was another above average day for those "fishing for Orcs"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
As I reported earlier, the exiled mayor of #Melitopol now confirms one of #Russia's largest military bases was destroyed. The "Avtocolorlit" plant is no more says Ivan Fedorov.

He also claims in #Myrny a building being used to prepare a pseudo-referendum was also destroyed.
Two people have been injured by broken glass during overnight shelling of #Zaporizhzhia. Three summer houses were hit in Shevchenkivskyi district in the city.

The village of #Orikhiv, about 50km southeast of ZP was also shelled - no casualties there.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Also in #Zaporizhzia region, police say "people died" in the village of #Kamianka as a result of "armed aggression of the occupiers"

This is in Polohiv district and can be hard to find on maps - the village has had 3 names in 6 years, previously Kuibysheve + Bilmak.
Occasionally I step back and try to see things from a wider perspective, to ensure I am not taken over by hyperbole and exaggerating #Russia's crimes and the brainwashing of the people.

Then I see things like this and realise I may be too lenient:

Reports coming in of attacks in #Kherson region.

A Russian base may have been hit in occupied #NovaKakhovka

#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Here's an unverified video of the potential attack on a base of the Occupiers in #NovaKakhovka, in #Kherson region.

#StopRussia
One more clip of the smoke billowing from the suspected base of #Russia's Occupiers in #NovaKakhovka (RU: #NovayaKakhovka)

Geolocated and timestamp check out.

#Kherson #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini
Your invitation to visit #Ukraine has been cancelled.
That's the message from the country's ambassador in #Germany after another perfect example of appeasement of a dictator.

#Russia says its rocket attack in the centre of #Zaporizhzhia was on the 'Motor Sich' plant, "where helicopters were being repaired"

Meanwhile 🇷🇺 Defence is again accusing #Ukraine of firing "another 5 shells in the 6th block pumping station" which cools the nuclear power plant.
Another Russian base in #Ukraine has been destroyed; this time in #Luhansk

Exiled Governor Serhiy Hadai says they hit #Svatove around 50km from the #Russia border.
The Occupiers published photos of damage without mentioning a military presence.

#StopRussia 📷TG luganskallnews
#Ukraine's Southern Command has also confirmed today's hits on #Russia in #Kherson oblast.

Spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk says they hit soldiers and equipment in #NovaKakhovka, #Lyubimovka and Kherson itself. Among equipment he claims destroyed are 11 rocket launchers.
#StopRussia
Patriotic scenes in #Kyiv.

A huge #Ukraine flag, said to be 430m long was unfurled on a bridge across the Dnipro river in the nation's capital.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Crowds also gathered in #Maidan on #Kyiv.
A separate display saw small flags displayed for each soldier who's died defending #Ukraine from the Russian invasion.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussianAggression
Earlier in this thread I showed people almost fighting in #Donetsk to get to bottles of water.

Even when water does flow in homes in some areas of the occupied city, not sure I'd want to even wash in it, let alone drink it!

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
A few hours ago in #Crimea there was unexplained smoke.

This was seen near Alupka in the occupied peninsula.

#RussiaOnFire

A couple of videos to bring you from a huge fire raging in the #Volgograd region.

The initial fire broke out in a market right in the centre of the city of #Volzhsky.

It could not be controlled and winds helped flames spread to nearby apartment blocks.

#RussiaOnFire

Another video from the huge fire in central #Volzhsky in the #Volgograd region.

The city was brought to a standstill.
So far, it's thought everyone managed to escape the blaze without injury.
There are quite a few of these types of stories. Usually it's tip offs about partisans or people speaking Ukrainian and they go largely ignored.

Thankfully Bryce survived, so it's good the story will reach a far greater number of people.

#StopRussia

Missiles hit #Rivne this evening.

Regional Head Vitaliy Koval confirmed strikes on the Sarnensky district of the city, which has suffered relatively few attacks in the war so far.

No casualties reported.
#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Missile attack on the centre of #Kharkiv

The Governor says two rockets have landed - one has hit a local government building it seems.

The only video published so far is this of the initial strike:

#Kharkov
#StopRussiaNOW #RussiaIsATerrorristState
The blaze in #Volgograd region (scroll up for earlier in this thread) continued in to the evening.

Part of the centre of #Volzhsky remains sealed off.

#RussiaOnFire
Military bases of the Russians have been picked off today with alarming regularity for the Occupiers.

Reports (unconfirmed) of another strike where a base has previously been hit. This video is from #Beryslav in #Kherson region.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
Update on #Kharkiv now.

Short clip from the centre of the city after #Russia's air strikes this evening.

#Ukraine #Kharkov #RussiaIsATerroristState

A lot of people sharing this post or just the photo.

It says fires after explosions in #Crimea

I've had a tip off that it was not caused by an explosion so I'm reserving judgement for now.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
I'm Tweeting this news release from #Russia in full:

"The temporary suspension of the issuance of 10-year international passports by the consular department of the Russian Foreign Ministry for a period of ten years is connected solely with the need to carry out technical work."
In #Russia officials say the cause of the fire at the market in #Volzhsky was "a violation of fire safety requirements during welding"
No injuries

Thx @CarolynnePries1 for spotting a video of the start of the fire from which I've taken this screenshot.

A major incident in #Enerhodar tonight with both sides blaming each other.

5 have been injured, one is critical in hospital after shelling of apartment blocks in the town.
No mention, or danger to, #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerrorristState
More big news - the man declared by #Ukraine's Resistance as their #1 target has been killed in occupied #Kherson

Oleksey Kovalev, a member of @ZelenskyyUa's party, shocked the country when disappearing, then supporting #Russia

Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko reported the news
Ukraine media are reporting that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sacked Deputy Commander of the National Guard Yaroslav Spodar

Good morning world! It's Day 1281, so it must be thread number 1281 (4205 since the start of the Crimea invasion)

Every day documenting the news, without gratuitous gore, and the war crimes as Russia continues its unprovoked all-out war against a sovereign neighbour.
If you missed anything on Tuesday, it's simple to catch up. Just click this link for the start of yesterday's thread and scroll down to where you last read and then continue reading through to the end.
But remember to come back here!

A few people are asking about my health after my emergency trip to hospital.

I feel ok, and the eye is no worse, which is good news I think. Follow-up appointment in just over a week.

I've been given the ok to fly today - which will mean no updates later on in today's thread.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage
