The last day of August, the last day of summer.
Sadly, not the last day of #Russia's monstrous and illegal war on #Ukraine.
We've reached Day 189

The day started in bad, but predictable fashion for the people of #Kharkiv
Virtually on the stroke of midnight the new round of shelling began. This was just hours after the murderous attack on the city yesterday which killed five.

An horrific tale reported by #Ukraine's "24 Kanal"
They claim Tropiny hospital in #Kherson was closed to residents for "several hours" to allow a truck load of #Russia's soldiers to be delivered, dead & alive together.
Doctors even mixed up severed legs!

The Russian installed Head of #Zaporizhzhia claims he's "had to leave" the region due to a 'family problem' & is now running things remotely from #Crimea
#Ukraine media mock he's too scared of the counter-attack. But disappearing just as @iaeaorg inspectors arrive is suspicious

A bumper day "fishing for Orcs" as Ukrainians have termed it, with the daily estimate of #Russia's losses well above the mean in many sectors.
350 more soldiers killed is around 100 up on the daily mean while tanks, artillery systems, MLRS and vehicles destroyed also above avg.

#Ukraine "has pushed back the frontline back by some distance" in the south of the country as a result of the fightback against #Russia's invaders in the south.
That's the highlight of the daily briefing from the UK MoD

A fire in occupied #Crimea this morning that looks a little suspicious for a couple of reasons.
First reports suggested an oil dump had been hit in the #Krasnohvardiiske (RU: #Krasnogvardeysky) District
The dark smoke led many to believe explanation...

However it quickly became clear the fire in #Crimea was at a hardware store, "Mega Stroya"
But the complex is completely destroyed while the building next door is untouched.
In a hardware store there will have been accelerants, but could well have been arson.

Partisans have blown-up the HQ of the hated "We are together with #Russia" occupying organisation.
No injuries.

This is in #Zaporizhzhia oblast and the town has been targeted before by #Ukraine forces during the initial days of the counter-attack.

Overnight the town-hall there was targeted by shells. Widely believed to be #Russia's last attempt to incriminate #Ukraine for the damage to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear plant.

Putin finally offers his own grudging tribute to #Gorbachev who died yesterday.
The best thing Russia's warlord could say was that the former Soviet leader had a "huge impact on the course of history"
But he refused to directly praise Gorbachyov who "found his own solutions"

Almost 114,000 killed in #Mariupol' during #Russia's illegal war.
That's the new claim in #Ukraine as officials have documented 87,000 corpses with over 26,000 yet to be identified.
That's one in 4 of all people in a city the size of Miami or Liverpool

Just had an update on the nuclear inspectors...
The @iaeaorg team, pictured here leaving #Kyiv, has now arrived in #Zaporizhzhia and are now queuing at the checkpoint to cross into Russian-held territory.

It's likely to refer to a post on Instagram on the day of the full invasion; no picture she just wrote "Fear + pain. Please stop all this. No war!"

Rather than just saying it was an attack by #Ukraine, they've come up with the idea it was an "American drone" which smashed into the council building.

More extravagant #Russia claims - they say they hit TEN Ukraine command posts in the last 24 hours in #Kherson, #Donbas and #Dnipropetrovsk.
They'd also like you to believe they struck three depots of rockets + artillery weapons.
May be true, may not be true!

Update to the last tweet, #Russia claims it killed "more than 1,700 #Ukraine servicemen" in two days of "unsuccessful attacks on #Mykolaiv-#KrivyiRih line" (i.e. #Kherson region)
I get a lot of trolls saying Ukraine exaggerates the figures for Russian losses. But really, 1.700?

There is to be no blanket-ban on people from #Russia applying for #EU visas.
Instead the Bloc will suspend an agreement which made visa issuance much easier. A typical fudge, largely because #Germany refused to countenance an outright ban, but they were not alone.

Meanwhile Hungarian leader Korbán is helping out his old "mate" Putin again.
#Hungary has signed a contract with Gazprom to supply an additional 5.8 million cubic metres of gas per day from tomorrow.
More blood money to enable more weapons to kill more Ukrainians. Toothless EU?

$3,300 - that will be the fine for anyone in #Russia posting anything deemed to "promote" LGBT+ views or material.
The punishment will rise to over $65,000 for any organisation breaching the proposed new law, with the bill almost certain to be voted through soon.
