Generally a quiet night in #Ukraine. The usual shelling from #Russia|ns in the likes of #Nikopol and #Sumy, but even in the latter fewer than 60 grads fired in the region in the last 24 hours, which although it sounds horrendous, is well down on usual daily figures.

There were four slight injuries in #Kharkiv when rockets landed early this morning.
Two adults and minors aged 5 and 17 suffered slight shrapnel wounds in the Slobidskyi district of the city.
There's reported to be a car burning.

Putin's furious he's not invited to the Queen's funeral.
As #Ukraine's First Lady departs for Monday's State occasion in London, the vile bile from #Russia is on overload.
Just one more fake.
Best to remember it's likely only true if Russia denies it

Many retweets of a quote from #Russia's ambassador in #Sweden which is slightly incorrect.
Viktor Tatarintsev is half Ukrainian; his parents are buried in #Kherson
Here's the original source of "If🇷🇺starts a real war🇺🇦will be over in a very short time."

The Pope has spoken out in favour of #Ukraine's actions.
"Self-defense is not only legal, but also an expression of love for the motherland. He who does not defend himself, who does not defend anything, does not like it. Those who defend, love (their country)" the pontiff added.

One more missile attack in #Kharkiv region overnight.
#Russia fires 2 missile strikes on the village of #Zolochiv.
The missiles hit the local school according to Community Head Viktor Kovalenko. No known injuries.

Small scandal in #Ukraine as an investigation shows one of the country's Supreme Court judges holds a Russian passport.
No one in public office is allowed to have 2 passports, especially with #Russia.
Also claimed Bohdan Lviv part owns property in Moscow:

#Ukraine has put out a warning to people living in Occupied territories not to gather in public places for the next four days.
Intelligence sources say #Russia may be preparing a terrorist attack, disguised as a strike by a "foreign country".

Meanwhile explosions already today in two occupied regions.
In #Luhansk emergency services are gathered near the General Prosecutor's Office of the puppet government - that's right in the city centre.
Doesn't look like much damage.

Meanwhile a much more violent strike in #Kherson.
The Russian installed "Head" of the occupied region says his office was hit.
He escaped, but the Occupants say the Employment Minister was injured.

#Russia's Occupiers say one person died in the blast at the #Kherson administration building.
They say a meeting of regional and city leaders was taking place there at the time.
Looks like #Ukraine had good intel.

One of #Russia's military propagandists is reporting #Luhansk's Prosecutor General has been injured in this attack. Condition unknown.
But when Russia says "unknown" it's usually very serious or fatal.

Just want to say in #Donetsk how well #Ukraine is holding the line.
It looked like it would be a struggle to hold #Bakhmut and/or #Soledar as #Russia had momentum here. But there's been no discernible movement for weeks
I wonder if Russian morale plummeted further after Kharkiv

Seems as though #Hungary's Viktor Orbán is doing his best to prepare for life after #EU.
With funding cuts likely for flouting Euro rules, the PM has today sidled a little closer to the Kremlin saying energy sanctions are "unnatural, they're introduced by dwarfs against a giant"

The #Luhansk bombing today definitely happened inside the building and inside the office.
Now we should not rush to say it's partisans.
More often in "DNR" and "LNR" they kill each other over petty rivalries and jealousies.

* Warning * Graphic Video
#Russia has released another video of the aftermath of the bombing in central #Kherson.
The Government building was hit - occupiers say with 5 missiles.
So far still few details on total casualties. All we know for sure is one dead, one injured.

Now confirmed in #Luhansk (RU: #Lugansk) that the Prosecutor General of Russia's puppet government there, Sergei Gorenko, has died in the blast.
Sources say two floors of the building are demolished. IEDs were smuggled in by the attackers.

And more problems for #Russia... with tensions rising between two more former USSR states.
#Kyrgyzstan says #Tajikistan injured 42 civilians near the border with shelling.
Meanwhile #Kazakhstan confirms something I wrote about weeks ago. The capital's name is back to Astana.

Do you want the good news or the bad news from @ZelenskyyUa's home city?
The good - the water level is back to normal after excellent engineering work following the bombing of a reservoir dam.
Not so good - look at the colour of the river Inhulets!

And even worse breaking news for #KryvyiRih...
Explosions have been reported yet again in the city, as well as in #Zaporizhzhia region.
Explosions have been reported yet again in the city, as well as in #Zaporizhzhia region.
A few minutes ago videos began to appear of #Dnipropetrovsk's air defences looking to have done their job against incoming missiles.
Let's hope the explosions there were just the rockets being hit by #Ukraine's defence.

Things not calming down between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan either.
The former has now accused the latter of an invasion, 7.5km into Armenian territory.
Good time for Putin to make a rare venture out of the bunker!!

As most of you probably know I've been working a fundraiser to help #Ukraine troops. Sometimes aid from large organisations can be slow to arrive. We aim to get this quickly and directly to the people we personally know on the frontline and their units

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-ukraine…
If you can help in any way it will be really appreciated.
If you cannot afford anything, please share, esp on Facebook.
This fundraiser runs for 4 weeks. I'm currently en route to Krakow where I'm meeting some volunteers who are going to deliver the equipment next month.

#India's Modi publicly tells Putin "today's era is not an era for war."
India has tacitly backed #Russia until this point
Laughably Putin replies "we all want this to end as soon as possible"

That's Russian TV again tonight. They have no other answer to all the atrocities.
NTV even suggesting it's being staged purely to overshadow Putin's trip to the conference in Uzbekistan.

#Ukraine has finally taken control of the remaining part of #Kupiansk.
East of the river it had proved difficult to move the Wagner mercenaries but both sides now agree it's happened.
Some grizzly videos which would get me banned here - this is the only screenshot I can share

There are far worse photos too, which again cannot be published here.
One shows an arm cut through to the bone with the Ukraine bracelet worn by the victim.
It's truly sickening.
Just hope #Ukraine can finish this war soon and Russia rises up against the Terrorist-in-Chief

There was another explosion in occupied #Melitopol today too.
Some small stall was shattered by the blast. No one seems quite sure what happened, but it wasn't a missile. Maybe gas. A girl was injured.

The death toll in the earlier shelling of the local government building in occupied #Kherson was confirmed as three by Russia's forces.
The #USA says it expects two NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems to be delivered to #Ukraine within about two months.
That's timely with a new build up of #Russian planes at the borders and training flights taking place today with new long-range missiles.

The ceasefire seems to be holding between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan right now, but earlier the Armenians indicated they weren't happy with the security support.
Meanwhile 17 people, including 11 #Kyrgyzstan border guards reported killed in clashes on the border with #Tajikistan.

Been looking into this. Seems nothing more worrying.
An accident near the Leningrad Nuclear power plant in #Russia caused disruption to power supplies nearby. No sign of sabotage either.
