The big news of the day in #Ukraine is the murder of over 20 people in #Zaporizhzhia when a civilian convoy was hit by #Russia's missiles.
More on that in a moment, but if you missed anything yesterday, here's the link for Thursday's thread:

23 people are known to have died, another 28 injured when bombs hit a convoy of vehicles in #Zaporizhzhia
The cars were mainly families heading towards the checkpoint & Occupied part of the region. Of course Putin loves to make a statement on the day he tries to annex all of ZP

There are bodies strewn all over the road on the outskirts of the city of #Zaporizhzhia where #Russia's attack happened.
The proof #Putin has no care for anyone is the fact most of these cars were heading into Russian held territory, either returning residents or visiting family

No matter what the farcical ceremony says in #Moscow later, #Russia does not control the entirety of any region of #Ukraine except for #Crimea.
Soon it seems likely 🇺🇦forces will retake #Lyman in #Donetsk region. This new video purports to show #Russia soldiers fleeing on foot

#Lyman is partially, but not completely surrounded.
Pro-#Russia sites confirm what I've been saying, that reinforcements have arrived, namely the the 503rd Guards Motorised Rifle Regiment.
They also say newly mobilised (cannon fodder) are already fighting there

In another copying of #Hitler's tactics, #Putin has taken total control of the battlefield and refused to let #Russia's troops retreat from #Lyman (or indeed in #Kherson to east of the river)
#Ukraine will take Lyman, it's a question of whether Putin saves 2,000 men or not.

#Zaporizhzhia has called for a day of mourning tomorrow after the horrific attack this morning.
#Ukraine families mown down in a gruesome attack as they headed with supplies to the Occupied part of the region.
23 were killed

#Russia's media admitting that "First Deputy Head of the region" Aleksey Katerynychev was killed by #Ukraine partisans.
Katerynichev is a Russian, former FSB officer, so not even a Ukrainian traitor.

#Russia is predictably blaming #Ukraine for the massacre in #Zaporizhzhia
However it's worth bearing in mind the Occupiers were writing about "precision strikes" on UA troops and then switched to blaming Ukraine for the murder of civilians; we all know the accuracy of RU weapons

The British daily Intelligence update helpfully points out to newly mobilised Russians even worse trouble ahead for them. Not sure that macho RU types would be seen dead with tampons in their luggage though!
More insane losses for #Russia in the last 24 hours.
500 more of the Invaders' troops killed yesterday and we will hit 60k in the next 2-3 days.
That number could get much worse too if Putin doesn't order a pull-back in #Lyman, or sends in more new conscripts.

The village is less than 10 miles from #Lyman, to the south and east, showing the control Ukraine's army has in the area.

#NATO General Secretary @jensstoltenberg is to give a previously unscheduled press conference today.
It should happen at 5pm UK, 6pm CET, 12:00 EST.
It's very likely the official reaction to #Russia's land-grab of #Ukraine territory.

It's not even a fortnight since these Lankans documented the torture at the hands of #Russia's army which took them hostage.
Yet today SL announces daily direct flights to the Terrorist State. #Shame

#Russia's state news agency TASS publishes this graph trying to present it as a good news story with stock prices rising in #Russia.
All I see is that before #PutinsWar the Index stood above 3,500 and is now below 2,000.
Everything according to plan!🤡

Just another train derailing in #Russia
This in the #Kuzbass region of #Siberia.
May nor may not be sabotage, but it will have caused a delay of rail traffic, quite possibly including mobilised troops from the region.

Overnight #Ukraine missiles landed in #Kherson. Some on chat sites saying they hit multiple targets including near the river where air defence was located.
There's no proof of that, with #Russia's news agency releasing this video of damage to a building, possibly housing troops

Football returned, but is still regularly held up mid match by the ever present threat of #Russia's bombs.

After almost 220 days of things going "entirely to plan", #Russia panics into obscenely rushed effort to hold fake referenda, annex parts of four regions of #Ukraine.
210 days ago #Putin's thugs were meant to be in #Kyiv appointing a new President.
In 7+ months they took 1 city

The "ceremony" to annex these parts of #Ukraine is due to start. Likely Putin will make his minions wait.
I won't live tweet. He'll say #Russia is not at war, but they're at war with #NATO.
He'll say it's a victory to liberate Nazi land while acting exactly like Hitler.
Psycho🤡

More first hand evidence of the referenda being one big 💩show.
As with #Crimea, intimidation, beatings and falsification anyway at the end of it, even ignoring the fact a massive number of #Ukraine's citizens fled the Russian held regions.

The little man with a huge chip on his shoulder has still not appeared.

On this exact day 84 years ago, #Hitler signed the #Munich agreement with a rambling claim about historical needs and Nazi propaganda as #Germany annexed part of Czechoslovakia.
Replace 1938 with 2022.
Replace Hitler with Putin.
Now you have virtually an exact repeat of history

Putin's speech was riveting. Dima did not last long!
On the day #Russia murdered 25 innocent civilians in #Zaporizhzhia, #Putin brazenly said "Russia will never betray the people of Zaporizhzhia" and the other regions they pretend to have annexed today.

"Every democratic country has the right to apply, but the decision will be made by consensus of all member countries of the alliance"
With an ongoing conflict Ukraine has no immediate chance to join

#Russia sources report a big convoy of tanks is on its way to defend #Lyman where the situation looks almost impossible for the Occupiers.
The road due east towards #Kreminna is still navigable according to 🇷🇺war bloggers, but #Ukraine likely has fire control of the route.

What do we think?
Many #Ukraine supporters are distributing this map of north #Donetsk, showing #Russia's troops in #Lyman completely surrounded now.
Personally I think it is going to happen, but I'm not convinced it's just yet. But it could happen in a rush if they surrender.
