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.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Not expecting any update from the UK's Ministry of Defence today.

Politics has been suspended in Britain as a mark of respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
🖤🇬🇧🖤
#Kharkiv region and #Sloviansk were shelled overnight.
But again the number of rockets flying from #Russia was well down on previous days.

Maybe they're literally shell shocked (or low on stocks and awaiting North Korea's gifts)?

#StandWithUkraine️ #RussiansGoHome
Strong rumours that #Ukraine has captured another high ranking Russian officer.

Lieutenant General Andrey Sychevoi, who was Commander of Russia's "west" occupation unit, is believed to have been caught near #Balakliia

24tv.ua/sichyevoy-potr…
Another symbol of resistance is spring up in occupied towns and cities in the south of #Ukraine.

It's a very simple, but pertinent thing: the letter " Ї "

There is no such letter in the Russian alphabet, while the i with two dots also appears in #UkraЇna
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Ukraine claims a hospital in #Sumy region has been hit by #Russia, there are injuries.

Here's a translation of the announcement - Russian planes firing at the hospital.

Strangely though, so far the governor only released photos of the missiles, not the building.
Meanwhile 9 civilians died in the unoccupied part of #Donetsk region in the last 24 hours, according to #Ukraine authorities.

Another 23 people were wounded.
It's reported that 5 people died in Bakhmut, 2 in Zaitsevo, 1 in New York and 1 in Fedorivka

#StandWithUkriane
Stories circulating on social media (unconfirmed), that this is a photo of the Russian installed "Head" of Ivanivka in #Kharkiv region.

The traitor was said to have been arrested during the #Ukraine army's rapid advance through the area.

#StandWithUkraine #StooRussia
A perfectly reasonable mix of satisfaction and threat from #Ukraine's Presidential adviser I think:

#RussiansGoHome

#Ukraine has captured another important village in #Kharkiv which adds real pressure on #Kupiansk.

I'm told Russians have fled #Senke, just 10 miles south of Kupiansk.

Meanwhile first photo from #Chkalovske, which was liberated yesterday.

The blocking of #Izium is close!
As I reported yesterday, #Ukraine's troops are now at #Kupiansk.

Fighting reported in the town itself, but not much. Maybe that's a good sign!

#Izium won't be cut off if 🇺🇦 takes Kupiansk but supply lines become almost non existent.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
The Mayor of #Kharkiv reports a kindergarten and gas station have been hit by Russian missiles.

Ihor Terekhov says there are victims but cannot say yet how many injured or if any died in the attack.

At least 7 explosions reported.

#Kharkov #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
There was a British Intelligence update today after all. It came at 10am, and actually probably wasn't worth waiting for!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Update from #Kharkiv where 3 children and 7 others have been injured in the attack on the city centre.

#Russia's S-300 missiles hit a school, kindergarten, gas station and a sports facility. Fires still blazing in the centre.

A court in #Russia has confirmed a 21.7 billion rubles fine for #Google.

Think that's around $350m.

Let's hope @Google finally walks out on Russia and disables all apps and support because
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Update on #Kharkiv

Thirteen people injured including children aged 3, 11 and 15.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

⚡Just in ⚡
Again small signs that discontent is growing in #Russia.

One journalist hitting back hard against the stream of vile propaganda on Putin's state TV channels.

Also on the same programme a #Russia appointed official admits they're evacuating #Izium ahead of the expected #Ukraine advance.

Vitaliy Ganchev said civilians were being taken from 3 towns in #Kharkiv region: #Kupiansk and #VelikyBurluk as well as Izium

#StandWithUkraine
May be some exaggeration or propaganda, but an incredible update from #Ukraine's MoD this evening.

They claim one Russian Airborne Guards Regiment has "ceased to exist" while another was wandering around in a forest without commanders

#StopRussia

ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/356…
This is reported to be a photo of the main bridge across the Oskil river in #Kupiansk. It's on various websites and Telegram channels already and while it cannot be verified yet, it would seem likely forward artillery strikes would target it, depriving #Russia of reinforcements.
#NATO Sec Gen @jensstoltenberg says "more than 80% of Russia’s land forces are now dedicated to the war in #Ukraine

Astonishing figures, and now I can't help thinking there's never a better time for a revolution!

internationalaffairs.co/opinion/press-…
1/2
The centre of occupied #Donetsk has been hit by missiles.

Two reported dead and five injured.
This is the moment one of the rockets hit the city.
#RussiansGoHome
2/2
 Propaganda reporters were straight on the scene.

#Russia's Army TV immediately concluding US M-777 were to blame, producing fragments of a shell

#Ukraine's been hitting hundreds of military targets with pinpoint accuracy, advancing 50+km, yet suddenly aims at civilians?🧐💩
This photo is indeed NOT from #Kupiansk.

However there are no up to date photos from the town. #Ukraine may have already struck the bridge.

Reports of more explosions in #Kharkiv. This time on the outskirts of the city and in the wider region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Big explosions earlier this afternoon in #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv region.

#Kharkov #Ukraine #SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
This reportedly a "Luhansk" soldier's suicide note found by #Ukraine forces near #Balakliia

He complains Russia made them cannon fodder

He signed off with:
“Say that dad was an athlete, didn’t drink or smoke. It’s bad to die and in the summer, right now I would be at sea”
Holy crap. Holy bridge!

This is the bridge in #Kupiansk - checks out with google maps and the time stamp, taken as sun was falling this evening.

Russia is in deep💩in #Kharkiv region.
I n his evening address, President #Zelenskyy said they've regained control of over 30 settlements in #Kharkiv region.

I don't have confirmation, but I've seen separate reports saying both #Oskil and #Kapytolivka (blue arrow) are now liberated.

Attacking #Izium from two sides!
Early evening somewhere in #Kharkiv oblast.

#Ukraine's national anthem has never sounded better
👏👏🇺🇦🇺🇦💪
As darkness fell in #Kharkiv region, battle was raging in #Kupiansk.

There are genuine hopes #Russia could be forced to flee by the morning.

#Ukraine is taking advantage of poorly trained troops lacking experience - The Kremlin is rushing to send conscripts to #Izium.
Even before the battle for #Kupiansk truly began the town showed the scars of recent effects of the war.

TG channel kupyansk_news earlier showed photos of Kamelot hotel on the eastern edge of the town.

My guess here is that #Ukraine identified this as a base for Russian troops
Flashback - #Kupiansk (RU: #Kupyansk) six months ago when #Russia invaded the strategically important town in #Kharkiv region.

After 193 days of occupation, will tomorrow be "Freedom Day" for Kup'ians'k?

#Купянськ #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

#Russia's 'head' of (occupied) #Kharkiv is shown on local media channels admitting "things are not going well"

Vitaliy Ganchev promises "all settlements taken by #Ukraine will be liberated" but right now urges people to flee to Russia "there will be people to help at the border"
Earlier in the day #Russia did land some reinforcements to defend #Kupiansk.

Huge transport helicopters (poss "Halo") landed near the town to offload troops and tanks - maybe with bridges and roads under #Ukraine fire control it's the only option

#RussiansGoHome
Just before day 198 ends, another episode in the popular series #RussiaOnFire

Tonight's story comes from #Ufa in the Republic of #Bashkortostan - about 1,400km east of Moscow.
Possibly connected, it has one of the highest death rates in the war

The Mercury shopping centre burns
More on the previous tweet - the shopping centre fire in #Ufa.

Thanks for @CarolynnePries1 for the tip off.

Despite flames engulfing the Mercury mall, locals still took the opportunity for a bit of looting - ignoring warnings they're on camera!

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

 Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

 The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

 This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
 There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
