Today's UK briefing documents the slow down in drone use by #Russia.
However large freight flights have recently been landing in Moscow from Tehran, so I'm fairly sure UAV stocks will be resupplied by now and on their way to #Ukraine.
The residents in the decimated satellite towns north of #Kyiv are taking things into their own hands as life, and normality, starts to return to the likes of #Borodianka#Bucha#Irpin
The occupied town of #Enerhodar is apparently without any power after what #Russia has described as "#Ukraine shells damaging the power lines" around the nuclear power plant.
Exactly as #Ukraine and some independent observers predicted for the past two weeks.
It's believed everyone escaped unharmed from this morning's attack on #Kharkiv.
Two rockets smashed into the city centre. One hit a 5-story apartment block, completely destroying three floors.
The second rocket hit the courtyard of a council building.
The group claiming sabotage of #Russia's railways reports that The Kremlin is having to reduce freight on the rails.
There's no way to verify the information (translation of the post below), but it is feasible that sanctions have led to an inability to repair many problems.
⚡️Breaking⚡️
Looks like the smoke in #Berdyansk may have been an attack on the Russian installed "Head" of the city.
Many locals saying his car was blown up.
A better video here - but is that small arms fire or other small explosions? Could be ammo being set off.
1/2 Extraordinary claims on a TV channel in #Dnipro
DN1 shows what's said to be a video of a zoom meeting on Day 3 of the war. In it Mayor of Dnipro, Boris Filatov, says his sources "from the other side" assure him Dnipro won't be bombed.
2/2
The claims come from a political journalist who posted it on Facebook (translation below)
#Dnipro Mayor Filatov is said to have been "waiting for the Georgia scenario" - #Ukraine would have to relinquish territory as Georgia did in the 2008 war.
Deep Fake? or Deep trouble?
⚡️Breaking⚡️
#Ukraine's General Staff says two more villages have been liberated.
They are #Novovoznesens'ke in #Kherson region, a full 5 miles/8km south of Vysokopillya which was re-captured yesterday
1/2 As we near the end of another day in #Ukraine, it's been perhaps the most encouraging of all 195 so far.
At least some territory has been reclaimed in #Kharkiv, #Kherson, #Donetsk AND even #Luhansk, according to exiled Governor Serhiy Haidai who says they have a "foothold"
2/2 In addition, big attacks on more Russian bases in most regions, including in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
It was in the south of that region which saw a significant strike by #Ukraine patriots, with the Russian Head of ZP assassinated in a car bomb.
Ihor Terekhov confirmed "So far, we know about arrivals in Nemyshlyansk district. According to preliminary information, several cars and an industrial building are burning there."
Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.
Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.
More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.
What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.
This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.
This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.
It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌

Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.
You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.
This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.
Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛
It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.
This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.
All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
