I'm starting a daily thread on #Russia's illegal war for the 200th time.

Yes, we made it to Day 200, but Putin's 4-day "special operation" to take #Kyiv and 10-days to control all of #Ukraine is going "according to plan"😉🤥

All the Ukraine news, all day every day right here⬇️
First, notice the date, 11 September or "9/11"
Please remember all the victims of that horrific day in the U.S.

Hopefully #Russia's terrorism is being beaten thanks to the heroes of #Ukraine, at the front, protecting a free country.
Saturday was amazing:

Last night Pres @ZelenskyyUa announced that two more villages in #Kharkiv had been liberated; #Vasylenkove and #Artemivka.

In truth it's just that #Ukraine's forces only just walked in there. Here's @TheStudyofWar's new map showing how much land is confirmed reclaimed in Kharkiv
While there are rumours of #Ukraine's army already fighting to reclaim #Donetsk airport, #Lysychansk + #Severodonetsk, I'm treating these as just rumours until I get confirmation

100% we do know🇺🇦 crossed the Siversky Donets river in #Donetsk and is fighting for #Lyman + #Yampil
A poerful missile struck the centre of #Dnipro city early this morning.

Officials say it landed in the residential area. A 72 year old man is seriously injured.

As well as private houses, shops, a market and administrative buildings were also damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
In the wider #Dnipropetrovsk region the usual suspects of #Nikopol and #Marhanets were shelled again overnight.

Over 30 grad rockets were fired at the former, injuring 3 people.

Damage to 35 residential buildings, educational institutions, cars, gas pipelines & power lines.
As dawn broke in #Kherson oblast, fireworks were still spraying out in #NovaKakhovka.

Another Howitzer hit on a Russian arms dump - the "show" lasted well over 2 hours with ammunition constantly exploding.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
⚡️Breaking⚡️

The nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar is in a critical state again after more shelling.

The management agency says the #Zaporizhzhia plant is disconnected from the grid again. They must put it into "cold shutdown" for safety reasons.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
At least two missile strikes in occupied #Donetsk.
One man is reported to have died.

This is the scene of one of the hits.
#Dnbas #Ukraine
While #Ukraine has done amazingly well in the east of #Kharkiv there are reports of #Russia advancing in the north of the region.

Kozacha Lopan, just 3km from the Russian border, may well have been captured by the invaders along with Sosnivka a hamlet a little further west.
9 civilians wounded, four seriously, in #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaevwhen a missile landed in the city.

Residential buildings are damaged after one big missile landed in the courtyard.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Another big explosion in #Ukraine-held territory.

This is the lunchtime view of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) in #Donetsk region. Quite possibly another fuel dump.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia's losses today (according to #Ukraine sources) show higher than average numbers for tanks, aircraft, APVs, other vehicles, special equipment and personnel. Another 400 soldiers died for Putin's illegal war in the last 24 hours.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Update on the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar.
Thankfully immediate fears have eased.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW

#Russia has not returned children to #Ukraine who were due to be go home from "summer camp"

They claim it's too dangerous to return them to #Balakliia and #Izium so they stay in #Krasnodar "for a 2nd shift"

Now with no Russians remaining, parents are under pressure to move to🇷🇺

#Russia needs to deflect from the catastrophic capitulation in #Kharkiv & boost morale.
So this claim is to be treated with caution

🇷🇺says 250 #Ukraine soldiers, 12 APVs destroyed when Iskander missiles hit #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) station during unloading.
2/2

The Head of #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) Ruslan Trebushkin, made a video in the town.
He admits there were 5 cruise missile strikes, so although no sign of APVs, railway here, it is in theory possible they are not showing damage elsewhere.

A clutch more settlements in #Kharkiv region officially liberated from #Russia's occupation.

.. and a few kilometres away in #Sloviansk another apartment block has been shelled.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Russia's retreat from #Kherson?

Extraordinary claims on a usually reliable (pro-#Ukraine) Telegram channel in the occupied city.

Normally I'd dismiss it, but after yesterday, anything's possible!
Here's the translation

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

💙💛These colours don't run!

Everything going to plan in the elections across #Russia!

Just in the last hour @Sota_Vision reports one candidate arrested. One official observer kidnapped and now another observer files a complaint after needing hospital treatment after people tried to stop her leaving her car
Just 3 km from the border with #Russia, the village of Hoptivka (RU: #Goptovka) is confirmed as free occupation.

All these places are just abandoned now, The north of #Kharkiv region, right up to the border is likely all #Ukraine controlled now.

#VseBudeUkraina #SlavaUkraini
#Ukraine's General Staff has just confirmed the "mighty" Russian army is now retreating from positions in #Kherson region.

Yesterday #Russia's occupation in #Kharkiv region collapsed.

No further details yet...

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Some of #Ukraine's heroes celebrate the liberation of #Izium with shouts of #SlavaUkraini and victorious gunfire into the air.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
#Ukraine under attack. much of #Kharkiv #Kramatorsk #Kremenchuk #Poltava and #Sumy all left without electricity after #Russia struck the thermal power plant in Kharkiv.

It's also reported there are power outages in #Russia's border city of #Belgorod.
Following on from the previous tweet, parts of #Odesa and #Dnipropetrovsk regions are also known to be without electricity.

It follows #Russia's missile strikes at the power station in #Kharkiv and power lines.
Video clip of a huge blast to hit #Voznesensk in #Mykolaiv region today.

It's about 50 miles/80km north-west from the city of #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

This was is nowhere near over. Do not be complacent.
As daylight faded in #Donetsk a little earlier, there were more strikes in the occupied city.
This in the Kyivsky district.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like #Russia may have hit the Thermal Power Plant in #Kremenchuk/#kremenchug as well as the strike on #Kharkiv.

This is just one of the cities currently sitting in darkness.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW
Update:

In #Sumy, #Dnipropetrovsk and #Poltava regions of #Ukraine, electricity supplies have been restored,

Work is ongoing in #Kharkiv where the original shelling of the power plant happened.

The former Head of #Kharkiv's intelligence unit has been arrested on suspicion of treason.

3 months ago Roman Dudin was fired from his position with the SBU. More details of the accusations are expected tomorrow.

First sight of the blaze at the power plant in #Kharkiv.

Russia's missiles earlier caused a loss of electricity in many regions.

Earlier he wrote "It is not enough to return #Ukraine to the middle of the 19th century. These urchins need to be hammered into the stone age. It will be fair."
Satellite photos seem to reveal what looks like plenty of #Iran's equipment being used by #Russia to kill in #Ukraine.

#USA intel said it, Kremlin denied it, so we knew it was true.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!

Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win
If you missed anything from yesterday, catch up with this link to the start of yesterday's thread. Scroll down to where you got to and complete your knowledge!

But please return!

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.
