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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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..
