This is Thursday's thread with news, views, analysis on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, updated throughout the day.

Day 204 starts with a recap of the main story which broke very late last night:
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy is ok despite a car crash

If you missed that, or just want a recap of Wednesday's news from #Ukraine and beyond, then just click here and scroll at your leisure!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The other big story was #Russia's deliberate bombing of a dam, trying to flood #Ukraine's 7th biggest city, #KrivyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog)

It's the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa
Late in the evening authorities evacuated houses of those living closest to the river.
Yet another major rail accident in #Russia - a sabotage group claims responsibility.

Here a locomotive carrying oil was derailed in #Nizhnekamsk, in the Republic of #Tatarstan.

#StopRussia
New data show #Japan continues giving more & more money to #Russia

With tensions high over the Kuril Islands, Japan did not import any fuel from Moscow in June, but today's August's figures are known.
Although 20% down in volume on Aug 2021, it's still 54% higher in cash terms.
Britain's daily intelligence update concentrates on #Russia's "regrouping" as #Moscow terms it.

London confirms outright panic in some places with heavy losses in terms of hardware.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Good news from #KryvyiRih - the water level is now falling a little.

112 houses were evacuated overnight due to the flooding caused by #Russia's bombing of a dam.

Engineers carried out 2 more explosions themselves to alleviate the initial problem and are now fixing it.
Figures settling down on the daily statement of #Russia's losses.

The destruction of aircraft, tanks and other vehicles well above the mean in the last 24 hours.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
The team running #Ukraine's railways works quickly.

Already today the first train journey to recently liberated #Balakliia.
These people mostly refugees, able to return home for the first time in half a year.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Ran this video yesterday but now with English subtitles. You may be surprised how open Russia is about this considering they hand out death sentences to "mercenaries" fighting for #Ukraine.

Drug dealer? Rapist? No problem, we'll do a test then enlist you

Can't German intelligence shut up stupid politicians there?

Another front would finish off #Russia and Putin. General mobilisation, body bags of the middle classes in Moscow and 'Piter'. Even Georgia's entry to liberate occupied territories would do it.

The water subsides but the problems multiply for #KryvyiRih after #Russia launches another attack.

Head of the city, Oleksandr Vilkul says there is serious damage at "an industrial enterprise.2
No casualties reported.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another (censored) video from #KryvyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog) - Zelenskyy's home town - which was hit again today by #Russia.

The fury this is raising among people across #Ukraine is tangible. The determination to "really f***" Russia" is evident.

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine
Pray for the President of Kyrgyzstan.
Anyone who keeps little Putin waiting is destined for "tea with Putler" or a trip through an open window.

Wonder if Putin will be made to wait by Chinese leader when they meet later in the summit.

#StopRussia #StopPutin
Trouble for the Occupiers in #Mariupol

Residents, still without water or electricity staged a protest. #Russia promised services would be restored weeks ago, having taken control of the city 4 months ago

This is just one small protest, but it could well spread

📹TG mariupolnow
Another base of Russia's Occupiers has been obliterated in #Kherson region.

I reckon #NovaKakhovka is running out of ammunition and soldiers. Looking vulnerable to another #Ukraine advance.... just saying!

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Two explosions in #Melitopol in the last few minutes.

The news is confirmed by the exiled Mayor, citing his sources, saying emergency vehicles are rushing to the south of the Occupied town.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Fair play to the #Ukraine partisans who managed to do this in #Berdyansk.

They painted the coat of arms near the prosecutor's office in the Occupied town.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Oops - #Russia injured its own propaganda merchants.

A "news" crew from 'TV Tsentr' overturned when Russian missiles landed in #Zaporizhzhia. Correspondent Nikita Vasiliev and the driver were both injured but survived.

meduza.io/news/2022/09/1…
A #Ukraine court has today sentenced a Commander in the so called "Luhansk" army to 14 years prison.

The man from Izmail, known as "Kryl" was found guilty in absentia in #Odesa.

The EU delegation visiting #Kyiv today was treated to fresh fruit from newly liberated parts of #Kherson oblast.

Kherson is one of the world's leading suppliers of melons and especially watermelons.
This is occupied #Luhansk (RU: #Lugansk)

The person filming claims it's an example of guys being rounded up on the street and bundled off to enforced "conscription" to join the war against #Ukraine.
Impossible to verify, but multiple reports of this happening.
Shocking but I'm not shocked.

Everyone knew it must be happening. It's been the same in every village, town or city which #Russia occupied.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #WarCrimes

news.sky.com/story/mass-bur…
More things landing iñ occupied #Kherson tonight.

This is in #Beryslav, while other explosions reported in #NovaKakhovka

#RussianGoHome
Watch the trailer for a new film about the war crimes in #Bucha.

It's through the eyes of volunteer Kostiantyn Kiastutisovych who managed to save 200 residents from their fate by evacuating from the occupied area north of #Kyiv.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Kyiv there was a gathering to remember journalists who have died in the war.

Around 30 are known to have been killed in #Russia's unprovoked aggression.

The Supreme Court of #Ukraine has once and for all banned the pro-Russian party "Opposition Platform for Life"

Medvedchuk's party's final appeal was rejected.
The Security Service of Ukraine has so far started 70 criminal investigations against members.

Will #Russia obey the #UN order? This resolution was passed 26-2.

Noticeable that #Russia and #China voted against while Burundi, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa and Vietnam abstained. Now guess which countries' leaders rely on Rubles!

#Ukraine's government says it has informed @OSCE about the discovery of evidence of torture in the liberated parts of #Kharkiv.

The Prosecutor General's office says there are 33,000 cases of War Crimes now open.

ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/357…
Earlier this evening a fire broke out near the border checkpoint at #Nekhotiivka - inside #Russia's territory.

The governor of #Belgorod Vyacheslav Gladkov obviously blamed #Ukraine shelling. He says one rocket hit a disused petrol (gas) station

#StopRussiaNOW
#Luhansk

Earlier I posted a video of forced conscription on the streets of #Luhansk.

Now another incident is published, this time even worse scenes from #Molodohvardiisk just 10-15km from the #Russia border.

I've stitched two videos together here, hence the skip.

#StopRussia
Explosions in #Melitopol'

Occupiers say their air defence is working. Locals are not convinced. So far results are inconclusive.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Finally for today I've had a few people asking why I haven't mentioned the Sun's story of attempted assassination of Putin.

There are no real quotes, no evidence. That's why I ignored the story when I saw it on Telegram.

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:

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.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?
