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.

#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.

#RussiansGoHome #HeroiamSlava

#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.

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.

Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.

Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.

Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:

No missiles were fired at Ukraine overnight, and "only" 57 attack drones.

As Russia fired mostly at soft targets in front line regions, the air defence stats don't look good.

Just 18 UAVs were shot down and 7 stopped by EW, which is 44% Image

I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.

It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.

Catching up? Click, scroll down to where you left off.
Can't remember where you got up to? Try liking every post then when you scroll back you see where♥️end

A massive 35 missiles were fired by Russia, mostly this morning, along with 344 suicide drones.

Ukraine shot down:
7/12 ballistic missiles
7/8 Iskander-K cruise
9/15 Kh-101 cruise

But more interesting is that Ukraine says all the other 7 cruise missiles were disabled by EW Image
