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.
#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
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.
You've found the start of the daily thread - here every single day. All news is fact-checked, without hyperbole but with context. My aim is to help you know what's really going on in #Ukraine so you can be informed to tell others
Let's go
It's been a difficult morning for #Ukraine with #Russia launching missile attacks already, after drones earlier in the night.
But the traditional way to start is to give you the chance to review yesterday's news, inc more gains in #Kursk and 🇷🇺burning!
Hello & welcome to Day 908 of #Russia's disgusting, and now disastrous, all-out war on #Ukraine.
Throughout history the independence, strength and rebellious nature of Ukrainians has caused problems for imperialist rulers and dictators.
History is biting Putin on the bum again!
This is THE daily thread, the only one you need for all the major news about #Ukraine's fight for freedom and its very existence.
Sunday was quiet, but still plenty to get your teeth into. Click here if you were offline some of the day & need a catch-up:
A new week, and coming to the end of the first week of #Ukraine's decision to take the war directly into #Russia's territory, more than 10 years after Putin invaded sovereign🇺🇦land.
It's Day 901 of the all-out war. All the news, all the time, in one handy thread. Read-on!
We start again with a look back to yesterday.
Lots of news once again. Not least from #Kursk region, but please remember #Ukraine has a media silence from there. Some battalions post selfies, but mostly it's only #Russia and locals uploading photos.
I want to revisit what happened at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
I've now read and spoken to a few who know more than me about the plant. Everyone agrees it's a cooling tower, with nothing to burn there.
So it's almost certain #Russia burned something as a provocation.
