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

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.

Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.

Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?

Saturday was another full-on journalistic stint, catching sleep when I could.
Kharkiv shattered overnight then a daytime attack on a kids' railway.
Operation Web 2.0 & a factory hit in Russia.
It's all ⬇️

Early this morning, just before the end of the previous thread I showed the Azot chemical plant in Tula region on fire.
Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦

This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
1/3
Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...
