Thursday. Day 197 of #Russia's war

Serious concern among those that know in Russia. The majority of the population chooses to live in ignorance or denial.

Some dramatic developments as the #Ukraine fightback gathers pace.

All the news in one handy 🧵 right here:

#StopRussia
Plenty of dramatic news late last night including another attack on Russian party HQ in occupied #Melitopol, more failures for #Russia and more successes for #Ukraine.

If you missed it, scroll through yesterday's thread:

#StandWithUkraine

Having emphasised the good points for #Ukraine, I do feel the need to inject a note of realism into the thread.

Momentum is with the Defenders of liberty in many parts of the frontline. But Ukraine is suffering very heavy casualties too, likely higher than at any point so far
1/2

Big event to report inside #Russia tonight...

In #Belgorod a missile has struck a power substation, cutting electricity to many parts of the city.

(Contains Russian swearing)

#StopRussia
2/2

The big unanswered question in #Belgorod is:

Was it #Ukraine's rocket which left #Belgorod without water, or was it yet another misfiring 🇷🇺 S-300? Opinion seems split so far!

Some reports of water also cut off to some houses.

Here's a closer look at the impact:
Even without shelling themselves #Russia is still suffering almost unimaginable losses.

Yesterday so much equipment was proven destroyed it went on to a second page and not far off a third!

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia #RussiansGoHome

All eyes were on #Kherson, but the situation in #Kharkiv is now critical for #Russia

Although #Ukraine won't confirm it yet, even Russia confirms #Balakliia has been liberated by #Ukraine

The invaders claim they broke through the encirclement to minimise losses. I doubt it.
The speed of #Ukraine's advance from reports we are hearing from both sides on the frontline, is astonishing.

Shevchenkove in #Ukraine is being fought over right now, and #Russia is seriously concerned about #Kupiansk and even #Izium.

Day 199 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine
My daily thread for Saturday starts here.

But what an evening and night it's been already.
So many emotional videos, small victories for Ukraine and another big fire in #Russia.

Missed anything? Catch up:

I've understandably been concentrating on #Kharkiv region, but there is still fierce battles elsewhere.

In occupied #Donetsk, the roof of a hospital caught fire when a rocket hit the building in #Kalininsky area.

Impossible to tell who fired it, but may be a false-flag attack
It's a well known tactic by #Russia to use a false flag attack to change the news agenda.

When they commit an atrocity, or if they're losing and have nothing "good" to report back home, make up a new horrific crime, blame #Ukraine

All patients here in Donetsk were led to safety

You've found the start of Friday's thread on the war in #Ukraine.

It's Day 198 of #Russia's illegal war which has resulted in 1000s of war crimes.

Updated throughout the day, one thread for all the news (today I'll try not to mix up the threads!)

Any coffee donations welcome!
Lots of very interesting and emotional news yesterday as a tide of villages became liberated in #Kharkiv region.

I did mix up the threads but if you missed the videos and flag raising, you can join the thread here and scroll down:

Another all time record number number of #Russia's soldiers killed on the battlefields of #Ukraine yesterday.

Also a very high number of additional (support) vehicles and fuel tanks destroyed.

Wednesday 7 September.
Day 196 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
This is the start of the daily thread with news updated throughout the day.

If you want to catch up on yesterday's happenings, click here:

#StandWithUkraine

Who likes Wednesday to start with a record?

Looking at #Ukraine's estimates for #Russia's losses, I think the 460 illegal invaders they "liquidated" in the last 24 hours is an all-time high - I'm sure this war's stat-man @ragnarbjartur can confirm.

All first 4 totals above avg
#Ukraine officials have said the figures for RU losses do NOT include Private Military Contractors

Of course #Russia loves to pass death sentences for mercenaries but hires its own.
But 40% of RU PMCs in #Kharkiv region are dead/injured according to Kyiv

Day 195 of #Ukraine's defence and fight for its existence following #Russia's illegal invasion.

Welcome to Tuesday's thread of the important news, views and more on Europe's war.

ICYMI, for yesterday's 🧵click here:
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.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A reminder that a little later the @iaeaorg will release its report on the inspection visit to the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Two of @rafaelmgrossi's team remain in #Enerhodar.

Day 194 of #Russia's 10-day "special operation" to take #Ukraine, but now they lose ground in the south and some territory in the east.

Welcome to a new week, which will end with the 200th day of this illegal war.

This is the daily thread with all the news
DMs open for tip offs
The fightback continued last night - if you missed anything, here's the start of yesterday's thread - scroll through to the end.

The last story was about a journalist in #Russia who's likely to be jailed for 24 years in a few hours.
@freesafronov

Already quite a few regions in #Ukraine hit by #Russia's bombs tonight.

#Kharkiv, #Mykolaiv and #Zaporizhzhia.

These heavy explosions were heard in Zaporizhzhia city.

Welcome to Sunday's thread on #Russia's war in #Ukraine. We've reached Day 193 of the full-scale invasion.

Quite a lot happened yesterday. Tragedy in #Chernihiv and late night attacks on different regions. If you want a recap, scroll through⬇️

Putin's bots, trolls and useful idiots are pushing hard to encourage 'Joe Public' the price of the war is too high, let's reach a day with #Russia.

One bright spot is the quite dramatic fall in gas prices (this graph for futures market) in the last week.

#StandWithUkraine Image
#Russia's decision y'day to send gas through the Nord-Stream pipeline after all, eases things a little more.

The Kremlin needs the cash to finance the war, so has to sell, but knows it can cut off western supplies at any point with winter approaching.
