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.

#StandWithUkraine️ #RussiansGoHone
The thermal power plant in #Sloviansk is burns after #Russia's missiles hit.

Mykolaivka a small town near #Pokrovsk was left without water after shells fell there this morning.

#Ukraine's Head of Donetsk says it's clear the invaders are targeting infrastructure to hit civilians
The Collaborators killed in #Berdyansk yesterday were shot dead, it's revealed.

The so-called "deputy head" of the town, Oleh Boyk, had two gunshot wounds to the leg and one to the head, his wife Liudmila was shot once in the head.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

And north east of #Sloviansk, the #Ukraine flag is also flying again in #Shchurove.

#RussiansGoHome #HeroiamSlava
Today #Kyiv and #Ukraine said goodbye to one of the country's foremost ballet dancers.

Oleksandr Shapoval volunteered to protect his country, and died in #Donetsk this week.

#HeroiamSlava #VichnaPamyat

#Ukraine says it has uncovered another torture chamber used on residents in #Kharkiv region.

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.

Another 100 days of war is completed as we reach Day 1600 of Russia's all-out invasion.

100 days is a long time to be fighting for your life, yet now it's "just another 100" not even a real milestone.

Think of that as we delve into another Ukraine news thread,
I'm maybe the only person to compile a daily🧵every single day of the 1600

So much has changed since we reached 100 days - click here if you wish to take a trip down memory lane

At that time <31k 🇷🇺casualties. Continuing at that rate =495k. Instead 1.4m
Here's the more traditional link, back to the start of yesterday's thread. Saturday was a day which saw more Russian ships fail to outrun Ukraine's drones and the establishment of the "Magyar Triangle"

Loads of news yesterday, and you should check it out

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

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:
1/2
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
