The damage came in #Zaporizhzhia when #Russia once again fired anti-aircraft S-300 missiles.

Gov Okeksandr Starukh says 4 rockets hit "technical buildings of one of the infrastructure facilities"

Locals say it's a recycling plant

With no enemy to fight in #Kharkiv, it's not surprising to see equipment numbers down.
But deaths of #Russian soldiers still relatively high.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine

#Russia's army will take years to recover.

That's the verdict of British Intelligence.

#StopRussia

Yet another Executive with a Russian energy company has died in dodgy circumstances.

News broke last night that Ivan Pechorin "fell off a boat at full speed" in the far east of #Russia.

newsweek.com/putins-key-man…

With many towns and villages in #Kharkiv finally free, the real cost of war is being discovered.

Maksim Strelnikov, president of #Izium council, says a minimum 1,000 civilians died in the war. Before evacuation population = 45k

5 months after #Russia forced #Ukraine's troops out of #Kreminna (RU: #Kremannaya) the invaders have left the town.

It's 10km inside #Luhansk region and although 🇺🇦troops haven't arrived there yet, they can walk in soon. Same may be true for #Rubizhne

Last night I reported on the assassination attempt on the collaborator Tetyana Tomilina, which seriously injured her and killed a man believed to be her bodyguard.

Now a video's appeared on social media of the apartment block in #Kherson after the blast.

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1569426558968020992

Also yesterday an explosion was reported in occupied #Mariupol'

I've managed to find a video, although it's quite distant and we still don't know what exactly happened or was hit.

It was near the Ilyich iron and steel works.

Don't think we ever had confirmation of this, the liberation of #Kyselivka (Kiselivka or Kiselevka)

But @TheStudyofWar agrees with this now. Here's their latest situation map, though I understand #Ukraine is now at Klapaya and approaching #Chornobaivka

Does the #EU need to get tough with #Cyprus?

An important topic and news-line raised here by @stylian65

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

The Association of Tour Operators of the Russian Federation announced to the people what all of these countries "no longer accept documents from Russia for issuing tourist visas"

Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands

The "Wagner Orchestra" as the mercenary group likes to call itself, is playing a different tune to the facts as I understand them.

They claim #Russia still hold:
#Kreminna, #Kyselivka and #Liman while in their eyes #Svitaohirsk is "in the grey zone"

News travels slowly it seems

The #USA has finally given #Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and a number of others, visas to attend the forthcoming UN General Assembly.

While we consider the remarkable progress made by #Ukraine, let's remember the catastrophic loss of life on both sides.

Western nations are also culpable. Had they given a fraction of this support in 2014, there would not have been #Crimea + #Donbas invasion and no war.

It seems quiet in #Donetsk region so far today.

This pall of smoke was seen earlier in occupied #Horlivka, no news on what was the cause.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia

I've just got something in my eye 🥲

#Torez in #Donetsk.
Did a pilot have second thoughts about firing on #Ukraine?

Meanwhile overhead in #Donetsk itself, low flying Russian jets.

1/2
In occupied #Luhansk, the so called "LPR" says 8 people have died in shelling of #Lysychansk.

Obviously they blame #Ukraine though there is no proof. They don't say exactly where or what is shelled.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome

2/2 warning *GRAPHIC PHOTOS*

Two days ago I wrote I disagreed with some pro-#Ukraine accounts saying they were already fighting for #Lysychansk.

All I can deduce from today's attack on the city is that #Luhansk puppets are still firmly in control of the town.

#StopRussia

In #Donetsk there are claims the town of #Bilohorivka (RU: #Belogorovka) has been reclaimed by #Uraine's forces.

I haven't had this confirmed but I judge this credible. Bilohorivka is about 12km from #Lyman and 50km from #Severodonetsk in neighbouring #Luhansk

#StandWithUkraine

Another risky operation for a #Ukraine soldier in #Kharkiv oblast today.

Putting the flag back on the city hall building not as easy as it looks!

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia

#Donetsk has just about run out of fuel. Queues today at the one gas station open in #Makiivka, while this was the scene y'day in Donetsk itself.

Puppet "president" Pushilin says too many people bought petrol on Sunday.
Did @officialmoz sing "Panic on the streets of Donetsk"?

I am reliably informed that it's the "other" #Bilohorivka (which is just 30km away as the crow flies) but in #Luhansk region.

Being due west of #Lysychansk, this makes more sense - though maybe #Ukraine took both villages!
thx @pidgay1

#Ukraine "captured thousands of soldiers" during the #Kharkiv offensive.

That's what this German publication has found.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

welt.de/politik/auslan…

Explosions reported in both occupied #Melitopol and #Kherson.

In the former three bangs near the airport - locals say mobile phone signals are down.

In Kherson, smoke rises near the river.

An update from occupied #Kherson.
Seems those missiles fell near the "Hydropark" island and a leisure complex hotel on the river.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Still trolling!

#Ukraine's Southern Air Command says it shot down two Russian planes within two hours today.

The aircraft downed were an Su-24 bomber in #Kherson region and an Su-25 attach jet in #Donetsk.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

Powerful video by @AFP from now free #Izium showing the destruction following months of occupation and the joy of the liberated people who stayed there.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

After the #Kharkiv humiliation, #Russia proposed to resume negotiations, but #Ukraine has refused.

Minister of European Integration @StefanishynaO gave the news saying she believes the "desperate actions" are due to the counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

#StopRussia

Some Russian war-bloggers and unofficial media have been writing about an important breakthrough for #Ukraine's forces in northern #Kherson region.

Davydiv Brid is in the north of the oblast, due north of #NovaKakhovka

However I'm hesitant right now, no confirmation.

Some more encouraging news from Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

A very interesting quote from #Georgia tonight, though I cannot find the original source.

Chairman of governing Georgian Dream party Giorgi Kobakhidze says “Let the people say whether they want to open a second front against Russia” to reclaim occupied #Abkhazia + #SouthOssetia

#Russia claims two civilians have been injured by shelling in #Belgorod region.

Regional head Vyacheslav Gladkov says the village of Shelaevo in Valuysky urban district was hit by #Ukraine's rockets.
The injuries were light, they did not need hospital treatment.

#StopRussia

Also smoke earlier in another border region in #Russia earlier.

This fire was in #Kursk. Some wrote about explosions, but authorities there say it was just a fire and is still under investigation.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#Russia's managed to "persuade" two civilians of #Kharkiv (actors?) to give their (The Kremlin's?) version of why they fled to glorious Russia amid the great retreat!

Speaking in Russia the "refugees" claim “The militants (#Ukraine) came to the village and killed everyone"
