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.

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?

Day 1541 of Russia's war on Ukraine - this is PART TWO of today's thread.

I'm restarting, and linking here to the 17 posts so far today (thread part one).
If I continued I would not able to see any replies.

I've now had confirmation of one fatality in Russia's attack on Kyiv.

The injury count is now up to 16.
This is a video from first responders, trying to rescue those trapped in a collapsed apartment building in the Darnytskyi district.
Air alerts are beginning to be lifted in more regions of Ukraine.
Among those is Khmelnytskyi, where there was a drone swarm on the military airbase. No damage is reported.

Hello again. It's the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1540 of Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour, which never threatened nor ever fired a shot at Russia, until after the original 2014 invasion.

All the big news in one place, every single day. It's what I do!
Tuesday saw a late flurry by Ukrainian drones in Russia, while earlier the Terrorist State was having problems with self-starting fires.

Loads of other interesting stories in a near 50-post thread - missed anything? Click and scroll now:

A big daytime drone attack on Ukraine is ongoing as I type.

Explosions have been heard in Kyiv - air defence shooting them down as far as I can tell so far. About 30 Russian drones are attacking the region and city.

Day 1530 of the war in Europe.
After almost going through the night, it's a late start for me today, but details are now in from another dramatic night.

More civilians murdered in Ukraine, more Russian drones in NATO territory and more Russian ships hit.

Lots to catch up on..
We fell well short of 15k views yesterday despite a very long thread.

We ended with late night drone waves by Ukraine, while earlier on Saturday Russia was hitting buses and trains in another big daytime attack as Putin gets increasingly desperate.

1/2
 First, news about Ukraine claims of striking THREE boats overnight.

The most significant hit during the new attack on Novorossiysk is the hit on the Karakurt, which was specifically protecting the oil terminal there.

It had 8 Kalibr missiles + a Pantsir air defence onboard Image

The morning after the night before. A dreadful 24 hours for Ukraine as Terrorism rained down on all four of 🇺🇦's biggest cities.

Russia acts with impunity. Putin & his commanders have got away with war crimes for 4 years, so what will change?

Here's the🧵for Day 1513
As I type, BSky is down, which causes problems as it's much easier to simul-post than go back & repost everything later.

So, like the old days before fascism took over here, I'm on X (itter) only.

But these problems are infinitesimally small compared to 1000s in Ukraine today.
A pretty astonishing 24 hours of round-the-clock day and night attacks from Russia. Trying to exhaust Ukraine's air defence missiles and also exhaust the operators too, no doubt.

Many, many civilian deaths and injuries.
This is how it unfolded..
