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
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.
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!
#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
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.
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:
#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
