Another weekend, another daily thread about the war in #Ukraine, a country fighting for its survival in the face of the onslaught from #Russia's huge army of war criminals and mercenaries.

It's Day 206

So all Saturday's stories coming up, although I am commentating all day today so updates may be slower, apologies in advance.

Friday was quite a day. If you missed anything, fear not. Relive the unfolding events right here:

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia

First, nice to start with a success story from #Ukraine

Donations helped keep #Mykolaiv zoo and its animals alive and well despite the war.

Online ticket sales raised €3m, staying in business and keeping animals alive. What's more, a rare Amur Leopard cub was born this year
Saturday hasn't started so nicely in #Kharkiv

Nightly explosions are back after a brief respite a couple of days ago.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights claims Russian soldiers fled so quickly in the disorganised retreat from #Kharkiv region, that some even forgot their passports

Dmitry Lubinets gleefully says "Russian, we know you" as he holds one of the documents, but he doesn't open it
Pres. adviser @Podolyak_M talked about Friday's bombings in occupied #Berdyansk #Melitopol + #Kherson saying they're legitimate targets.

The last two were hit by missiles while Patriots are believed to have killed the Dep Mayor + his wife in Berdyansk, who prepared a referendum.
After the photos from #Izium (RU: #Izyum), last night many channels carried video reports after the world's media was allowed to see the horrors left by Russians.

I've picked out this emotional piece from the BBC's @OrlaGuerin

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Some relief for #Russia in its' "sphere of influence" as ceasefires seem to be holding in both the #Armenia-#Azerbaijan conflict as well as #Kyrgyzstan-#Tajikistan flare up.

24 people died in border clashes in the latter.

#StopRussia
Despite continuation of the illegal war, not to mention despicable war crimes, the Head of the Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach is reported to have talked about the possibility of participation of athletes from #Russia in the Olympics

@iocmedia shd clarify

This morning Britain hints at more possible territorial gains for #Ukraine, questioning #Russia's supplies and morale in defending the front line in #Luhansk.

Ukraine taking control of the Kupiansk railway junction yesterday is important if confirmed.

#StandWithUkraine️
How cool is this?
Reportedly a train from #Kyiv to #Uzhhorod in the west.

7 carriages on the "train to victory", each one beautifully painted to represent a region which had been under Russian occupation.

The grim discovery came in the village of Kozach Lopan.

These photos are from the basement. Police and war crimes investigators have opened a case.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Sorry to keep pushing, but we really need help to get near or reach our goal. The more we raise the better price we get for the equipment, the more #Ukraine soldiers we can help. Please share even if you can't afford a donation. Thank you 💙💛

oops! A coal wagon mysteriously overturned in #Russia.

This happened in Kamensk-Uralsky, #Sverdlovsk region. Six wagons came off the tracks.

Obviously there are no saboteurs causing an increase in derailing in Putin's Russia😉
The head of the papal alms service, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, came under fire in #Ukraine

He told the #Vatican News portal. The incident occurred during the distribution of humanitarian aid.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
It's been a long, tough day.
The good news is you guys have taken the fundraiser over £500 in a day and a half, around 600 Euros.
The even better news is we've sourced some great volunteers, drivers and suppliers.

Soon, photos of what your money will be buying & a special offer!
In #Kherson tonight high drama with a long shoot out on the streets.

The military of the Occupier appears to have been attacked and they claim to have destroyed the gang of unknown armed men with no casualties among the Russians.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
