Hello again, nice to see you here for Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's illegal war against its peaceful neighbour.

Day 216 of #Ukraine's Resistance. Also the last day of "voting" in the sham (illegal) referenda in Occupied parts of Ukraine

All the news, events and analysis⬇️
If you missed anything yesterday, here's the start of Monday's thread. Scroll at your leisure!

The British Intelligence daily update is out and it covers Putin's immediate plans over the fixed "votes" in 4 of #Ukraine's partially occupied regions.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The destruction of the airport at #KryvyiRih was the main overnight event (see end of yday's thread)

But 3 communities - Nikopol, Marhanets and Chervonohrihoriv were hit by almost 100 rockets.
No casualties have been recorded so far but officials are still inspecting damage.
Still insanely high losses for #Russia

All the first 5 categories here above the daily average.

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
#Russia has turned off gas supplies to Europe again.

The Kremlin claims the Nord Stream 1 pipeline can't be repaired because of sanctions.

What a coincidence, just as #Italy's political parties negotiate to form the new government. Putin desperate for pro Russian voices!
Following on from the previous tweet, mysterious things happening under the sea, discovered by Nordic countries.

#Russia just spent 5 million rubles on iodine tablets (used to help prevent radiation sickness)

Media say the transaction is made within 4 days showing urgency, but there are annual purchases of iodine, so may be a coincidence.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
#Russia has attacked the hotel and restaurant in #Zaporizhzhia's central park.

This is the second hit on this complex.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Something burns in occupied #Horlivka, north of #Donetsk.

#Gorlovka #Donbas #Ukraine #StopRussia
A councillor in #Tatarstan claims he was attacked while trying to highlight corruption in #Zelenodolsk.

Yevgeny Yefremov was staging a one-man picket with a poster when a masked man jumped on him snatched the poster and left him with a cut on his hand.

In #Russia's southern republics the police are taking extra precautions after yesterday's problems with the anti-mobilisation protests.

In #Nalchik the whole centre is cordoned off, while in #Makhachkala this lot are heading to the centre to prevent gatherings.

#StopRussia
We all know #Russia's army likes to loot, but perhaps the craziest theft has just been revealed following their retreat

In #Kharkiv region employees at 'Novaposhta' returned to work to discover the Occupiers stole the toilet!

Police investigate, but they have nothing to go on😂
🤣🤣🤣
#Russia knows no-one will believe anything to do with the referenda in #Ukraine. The Kremlin knows it's a purely propaganda exercise, so they invent figures that simply cannot be possible because they don't care and like to show that.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
In #Makhachkala metal detectors and 'filtration' before even being allowed in to the main square.
That's where the large crowd and trouble happened yesterday evening.

#Dagestan #Russia #MobilizationInRussia
Apologies for being offline for so long - I get urgent alerts when I'm in meetings, but thankfully nothing urgent to report.

#Ukraine says it's foiled attacks on #Odesa, #KryvyiRih and #Melitopol.
Kh-59 missiles fired by #Russia's fighter jets over the Black Sea were shot down.
Before the war @JoeBiden promised to end #NordStream if #Russia invaded #Ukraine.

This evening The EU parliament's Chair of the EU-US delegation, cryptically posts this:

An investigation in #Bulgaria reveals the country's previous government secretly plotted with #Putin to engineer a "potential suspension of transmission (of gas) through #Ukraine"

bird.bg/dans-potok-bor…
Parts of #Kharkiv are without power this evening after 4 rockets smashed in to the region.

Infrastructure was hit in the Kholodnohirsky district of the city. No casualties are reported.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
More gifts for #Ukraine...
#Germany confirms it will be giving a specially designed "Iris" air defence system to Zelenskyy's government, while the #USA is donating 16 NASAMS rocket launcher according to Ukrainian officials.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It gets even more ridiculous

"According to the final results of the referendum in #Donetsk, 99.23% voted for union with #Russia, and the turnout was 97.51%"

Just stupid, pathetic, embarrassing. Get the #HIMARS loaded.
Elsewhere 98.42% in #Luhansk voted to join #Russia according to the fairytale.
But having killed or jailed anyone who didn't flee, and holding a referendum at gunpoint, that's almost believable to some. But 87% in #Kherson and 93% in #Zaporizhzhia? Just an insult to intelligence
Eagle eyed viewers have already pointed out many of the voting forms are blank - they couldn't even be bothered to fill in the forms they stuffed into the boxes to make it look real!

Maybe I'm wrong. maybe you're wrong.
Maybe everyone really does want to be in #Russia...

Let's check in on a flight heading to Russia - I'm guessing all tickets were sold out long ago?
Maybe not!
#Poland tells any of its citizens still in #Russia to leave immediately.

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.

Hello at the start of another weekend, Day 1151 of the war in Europe.

Day by day the US paves the way for capitulation.
Trump may pretend there was no war in his first term, but his administration said it would never recognise Crimea.

This is THE daily thread for Saturday.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Visibility is still low - 15k views.

Plenty to get your teeth into.. 100 fleeing Russian refuseniks, tRUmp on the verge of failure, and of course the attacks on Ukraine.
Catch up here:

With even tRUmp slowly realising he's been played by Putin all along with no intent on peace, Russia has upped the aerial attack on its next targets for invasion.

Sumy, Kostiantynivka + Kupiansk feel the full force.
In the latter 10 glide bombs in one day with 5 people injured. Image

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.
