Latest @DefenceHQ update: #Ukraine has "continued to make significant gains in the Kharkiv region" over the last 24 hours. Also notes that #Putin has lied about exports of grain from Ukraine. 
#Putin's warlord-president of #Chechnya, Ramzan Kayrov, coping very hard and threatening further conquests in #Ukraine. Interestingly, this comes after Kadyrov appeared to say he was resigning.

Thread. More troubles with the power at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, though it doesn't seem too much cause for alarm (yet). The backup systems are working (for now).

Good thread. As ever, damaging #Russia is damaging #China.

Has indeed been a notable shift in emphasis from #Russia's propagandists, locating the source of their troubles in the Kremlin, rather than the West.

Embarrassing from @TheAge to host nonsense like this from Anthony Galloway.

#Ukraine has taken more territory in the last five days than #Russia has managed in five months.
Since Ukraine threw back Russia's attempt to conquer her capital in March, the only real Russian gains were in Luhansk in June-July.

Part of what air defence is doing is shooting down its own jets. The sheer useless of #Russia's military machine at every level is just staggering.

It is done: the #Russians have completely collapsed in #Kharkiv Oblast, the provincial capital of which is #Ukraine's second city.

#Russia has, it seems, adopted "regrouping" as its official euphemism for "retreat" in Ukraine, which is worse than Biden's "retrograde" euphemism for his abandonment of Afghanistan.

#Russia firing missiles at #Ukraine's power grid - taking Kharkiv, Dnipro, Poltava, and other cities into darkness - in retaliation for the loss of Kharkiv Oblast, an action as pathetic as it is cruel.

Helpful thread on the dynamics at work, notably: the sheer speed of #Ukraine's counter-offensive, too much for even #Russia's meagre reinforcements (like the 3rd Army Corps) to get into place, and Ukraine's escalating manpower and equipment advantages.

Insane #Russian equipment losses today

It's cruel, but #Russia doing this is another sign of how this is going: destroying infrastructure that makes life liveable is not the behaviour of a force that believes it can continue to occupy, let alone annex, these zones of #Ukraine.

On the 200th day of the war, #Ukraine's President Zelensky thanks all the branches of the Armed Forces, notably the special forces; the intelligence services; and the cyber army and military clergy that have helped the state resist #Russia's and destroy untold amounts of materiel
#Ukraine's President Zelensky thanks those using the Arta system to direct the HIMARS/etc. to such devastating effect against #Russia, aided by the enemy "violating the rules of fire safety" and adds, with a grin, that online advice has been offered: "Stop smoking everywhere".
"The world is impressed. The enemy is panicking. #Ukraine is proud of you", said President Zelensky, addressing the army in his speech tonight. Ukraine will press on to fully liberate its territory. #Russia "will call [its retreat] 'goodwill gestures'. We call it victory."
Strilecha in the Kharkiv Oblast has been liberated by #Ukraine, bringing the Ukrainian Army right up to the border with the #Russian-occupied Luhansk Oblast.

Poor Boris Nadezhdin: a sane man in an asylum. He does get some support here, though, albeit while regime stooges attack him for saying its "colonial war", when they believe it's a "global war" orchestrated by NATO and poor Russia is just caught up in it.
