Welcome to Wednesday's daily🧵covering all the news from #Russia's war of choice.

The Kremlin hopes to mobilise 1m "soldiers" to fight the losing battle. To defend their homeland, #Ukraine troops need winter gear. Please help us reach £10k target

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-ukraine…
Today is Day 217.
Yesterday saw the "results" of the fixed and illegal referenda, blank voting papers, stolen toilets, empty passenger jets heading into #Russia and much more.

Missed it? No problem - scroll though from here:
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

One of the most important pieces of news came late last night and that is #Italy's confirmed commitment to #Ukraine despite the change of government.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

A lovely thing to watch is this clip from the infamous #Russia 1 prime-time current affairs programme.
Chief Propagandist Solovyov panics after "being drafted"
Panel openly referring to "cannon fodder" and "meat grinder", suggest "worthless art" students should be sent instead!
The above video was a parody from @R82938886 😆

Today's figures from the meat grinder by the way: 400 more of #Russia's soldiers won't be returning home.

Other numbers generally lower - appears #Russia is digging in and waiting for reinforcements (fresh cannon fodder)
Very annoyed at some British broadcast media this morning announcing "four occupied regions of #Ukraine vote to join #RussianArmy

This is disgusting and irresponsible reporting.

The real residents were not asked, did not vote or were threatened at gunpoint.
#StopRussia
Let's check in and see how #MobilizationInRussia is going.

This is #Sevastopol in #Crimea.

#Ukraine's fighting machine will be quaking in their boots when Dad's Army limps over to the mainland!
#Ukraine still has momentum. #Russia struggling on various fronts.
That's the message from the UK today.

Widely believed Putin personally intervened to stop a retreat behind the Dnipro river in #Kherson - a catastrophe waiting to happen; it could happen very soon!
#SaveUkraine
#Russia's shells landed in #Hulyaipole in #Zaporizhzhia this morning.

Of course 98% of people here want Russian rule, why wouldn't you?

Three S-300 anti aircraft missiles hit roads and an historic building, no casualties reported

#StopRussia

Things remain tense on other nations' borders with #Russia too.

#Finland urges residents to inform about all suspicious people seen near frontier.

Meanwhile chaos at the Upper Lars crossing into #Georgia (unverified video); Russian army now arriving, possibly to block access.
Failing to support #Ukraine is giving the green light to this.

War crimes will be committed again and again, not only in #Ukraine, but in Putin's next target if he's allowed to get away with the inhuman actions of this conflict, which he started.

How do I know there will be more war crimes in a different part of world? History gives us the answer.

Chechnya was first in #Putin's reign of terror. Horrific tales of rape and torture are still coming to light from the 2008 war in #Georgia

President Vucic days #Serbia will NOT recognise the results of the pseudo referenda in #Ukraine.

Poor Vova, even his friends are putting one foot in the opposition camp now. Don't worry Putin, Syria is still with you!
Likely that #Ukraine has demolished a Russian HQ in occupied #Kherson.

This is the Kolos Hotel in #Oleshky - looks like the Occupiers checked in, but now they can never leave.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
(Unverified)

The border between #Russia and #Kazakhstan beginning to resemble a refugee camp.

#StopRussia
Former @Everton star Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has been issued with call up papers by #Russia's army.

📷Everton FC
#Ukraine has hit #Russia's TV and Radio broadcast facilities in #Luhansk region.

This is in the town of #Starobilsk

#LuhanskIsUkraine #Lugansk #StandWithUkraine
News in brief:

#Russia has called an emergency meeting of UNSC to be held Friday, over NordStream sabotage

#Iran's President to make very rare address to nation tonight as riots continue

#China's Xi Jinping makes first public appearance since rumours of a coup appeared.
A #Ukraine official has said they are negotiating with #Russia over the possible return of all Prisoners of War.
#EU President to "make Kremlin pay" for escalation in #Ukraine

8th round of sanctions on #Russia passed. Oil price cap + bans on:
* import of🇷🇺 products (-€7.5 bn)
* export to🇷🇺 aviation/electronic/chemical materials.
* EU citizens holding senior positions in🇷🇺 state companies.
I, indeed any seasoned Russia/Ukraine watcher, cannot stress this enough.

Do NOT appease dictators.
Do NOT show weakness.
Oh and Do NOT feed the trolls!

This Occupier from #Russia admits they usually stay in residential areas of #Ukraine, because it is "safe"

Sergei Zavdoveev, callsign "Frenchman", told a propaganda channel that if they enter the city, they are placed among civilians.
What says @amnesty?
💣Such a shame! I think a naughty Russian's been smoking again!

14 victims reported after explosions in #Belgorod region, just over the border inside #Russia

The Governor "detonation of ammunition occurred in the Valuysky urban district due to a human factor"

#StandWithUkraine
UPDATE just in from previous tweet about ammo explosions in #belgorod

A doctor at the Valuy District Hospital confirms “Today, around 4 pm, 14 civilians received various shrapnel wounds as a result of the detonation of ammunition"
All victims have moderate and mild injuries.
Somehow this tweet escaped the thread, so including now:

#Russia is attacking #Ukraine with missiles again.

Infrastructure has been hit in #KryvyiRih again - significant damage reported.

5 x Kh-59 were fired from Su-35 aircraft. Air defence took down 4 of the 5 missiles fired at #Dnipropetrovsk and #Zaporizhzhia regions

#StopRussia
UPDATE on strike on #KryvyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog)

Governor Reznichenko confirms a 'grain processing enterprise' in the Kryvorizky district was hit - no casualties but big damage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Yet another strike by #Ukraine near the #Antonivskyi bridge.

In addition, explosions in #NovaKakhovka tonight - unconfirmed reports that Russian bases have been hit in both.

Also in #Kherson oblast, a fire burns in #Brylyvka - it's a small town midway between Kherson + #Crimea
More explosions in #Dnipropetrovsk oblast.

Nothing further known right now..

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
1/2
 Two powerful blasts heard in #Dnipropetrovsk a few minutes ago.

The strikes came within a minute of each other.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
2/2
 Windows were shattered near the explosions.
A fire has started and the glow lights up the sky.

#MartialLaw prevents further details at this stage

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine
Looks to be an even worse glow in #Zaporizhzhia - TPYXA reporting more missiles fired by #Russia there this evening.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Residents in #Zaporizhzhia region counted 8 explosions in the latest attack.
It's not yet known if any of these was air defence.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Two more photos from #Dnipropetrovsk region after the missile attacks there tonight.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Now footage of two CCTV videos back to back, replaying the moment of one of the big blasts to rock #Dnipropetrovsk tonight.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
A big fire in #Dnipropetrovsk at the site of one of the missile strikes by #Russia

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine #UkraineUnderAttack
It's loud in #Kramatorsk too.

Several big bangs, unclear if it's air defence or rockets landing in the #Ukraine held city near the frontline.

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:

1/2
 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

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

1/2
 I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?
