I'm just back in the UK from #Poland
Plans now in place for purchase & distribution of however much equipment we can buy to help #Ukraine's brave soldiers for winter
We're up to £1,560 but we need more.
Please dig deep, share on Facebook, Insta, anywhere
One would think sooner or later #Russia's cannon fodder would work it out for themselves: not only does #Ukraine have these incredible #HIMARS but they're clearly getting very good intel from locals, these hits won't just be from drone info.
Speaking of Intel. Here's the British daily update.
This time #Russia's pilots are criticised and likely being put in overly dangerous positions. I didn't think the beloved Air Force 'heroes' would also be cannon fodder 😅
During the night I reported on the attacks on #Zaporizhzhia
We now know one pensioner was injured when #Russia's missile hit houses in a village and she was trapped under rubble.
Two shells hit a transformer substation near a residential area in the city itself. #SaveUkraine
"PUT-IN ASAP"
Yesterday protesters in #Oslo brought a blood-spattered effigy of #Russia's warmonger in a coffin to #Norway's parliament.
#Ukraine's President says "#Russia endangers the whole world"
A new webcam video is published of missiles hitting the country's second biggest nuclear power plant shortly after midnight.
As I wrote in this thread earlier, thankfully only communications equipment was damaged.
After recent stories about those who break curfews in #Ukraine being "encouraged" to sign up for the military, few people take any chances.
Look at the number of requests this taxi driver gets in the final few minutes before it's illegal to be on the streets of #Kyiv
A big tragedy unfolding in #Donetsk
At least 13 people are dead with bodies and body parts strewn all over streets in the #Kuibyshevskyi district.
#Ukraine's Intelligence had warned of a false flag event in the Occupied areas yesterday or today.
Both sides will blame each other
There are numerous videos from the scene of the massacre in #Donetsk knocking around, but all are too grizzly to show on Twitter. I've taken some screenshots and had to block out bodies ripped in two by today's blast. #SaveUkraine
Some more photographs from the police in #Zaporizhzhia showing the destruction from some of the rocket attacks in the villages of the region.
I've added a couple of updates to the Crowdfunder.
Some pictures now on this page showing what your money will be buying and I'm attaching them here too.
We're at 17% of the target. Please help - can you buy a hero a poncho?
Exhumations of the victims of #Russia's aggression continues in #Izium (Izyum)
Meanwhile the town itself - well we knew what to expect. Every single village, town or city - just one aim for the evil invaders, to destroy everything.
Yesterday I brought news of students freed from Russian captivity in #Ukraine.
The Sri Lankans have given interviews today, describing
* Beatings on the feet
* made to work as slaves for Russians
* 1 toilet break of 1 min + 1 of 2 min per day
* 1 shower every 5 days
We've had reports today of explosions in both occupied #Melitopol and #Ukraine-held #KryvyiRih. But no further details or even confirmation of either.
The smoke rising in Melitopol was again seen at the airport, which has been repeatedly hit in recent days.
#Ukraine's PM and First Lady attended today's State funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.
The Prime Minister published this tweet and on Telegram says he's invited King Charles III to visit #Ukraine.
The prevailing thought in #Ukraine tonight is that #Russia is panicking and desperate to announce Luhansk and Donetsk as part of #Russia as soon as possible.
Then any 🇺🇦attack can be judged an attack on 🇷🇺, enabling a declaration of war and full mobilisation, potentially nukes.
#Ukraine's new Prosecutor General confirms 5 children have been sexually assaulted by Russian invaders during the war. The youngest just 4 years of age.
#Russia's telling its tourists heading to #Turkiye to take cash. It comes after two more Turkish banks announced they won't accept Russian payment cards.
Sure the Turkish criminals are looking forward to welcoming a whole nation of tourists with pockets and cases of cash!
There was one more chapter of #RussiaOnFire today and an interesting one too.
The Kremlin would like you to believe this was just a "paint and varnish plant" in #Izhevsk.
But the city is one of the main centres of manufacturing for the military. Sabotage possibility moderate
#Russia has released CCTV footage it says is of the moment someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the country's embassy in #Canada.
Moscow has summoned the Canadian ambassador to the Kremlin.
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:
Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.
There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.
Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.
Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence
