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

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.
Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.
I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).
There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.
I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.
He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds.
Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.
Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine
Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"
It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.
Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
Review here:
Day 1292 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and Sunday begins with Russia again hitting civilians across the country in another massive attack on a sleeping population.
It's gone 5am in🇺🇦, no-one's able to sleep yet, and I'm starting another daily thread before going to bed...
Saturday exploded into life, and death, at night as Russia began what proved to be an enormous launch of drones, then missiles, at various cities across Ukraine.
The scene in Kyiv this morning.
Just before dawn, the skyline is filled with smoke after more terrorist strikes by Russia.
Terrorism and nukes are all Putin has left.
TACO Trump is the weakest US President ever, yet again failing to honour his deadline, refusing to stop Putin.
