Here's the British Intel update for Sunday. Not surprisingly it's all about #Lyman.
Imagine being one of the those reservists mobilised last week, sent straight to the cauldron, sentenced to death by #Russia a week after your normal life was shattered by #Putin.
This is the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa and a kamikaze drone was used to target the lyceum in the city centre. Still no details from authorities about damage or casualties
We've raised £3,178 for #Ukraine's soldiers - just 11 days left of the appeal.
I know there are a lot of fundraisers but we can source discounted winter clothes and thanks to Polish/Ukrainian Michal and his team, free transport to Ukraine. Thanks💙💛
#Lyman has been completely cleared of #Russia's invaders.
#Ukraine's President made a special short video post on Telegram to inform the nation of the news about the town in #Donetsk region, which two days ago #Putin pledged would forever be Russia.
#Russia is today claiming this strike in #Dnipro three days ago killed "more than 35 employees of #Ukraine's Security Service, including foreign advisers"
It says in total more than 40 people are missing: #StopRussia
Another twist in the mystery of the buried sea mines!
You may remember yesterday the videos I posted showing the burial of what seems to have been mines.
Some feared #Russia could contaminate the soil and then explode the bombs. UA Online reckons it was just another 🇷🇺 fake!
I am interested by this propaganda from the Occupiers
"#Russia guarantees all people living on the territory of the LPR, DPR, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia regions the right to preserve and study their native language."
But that's Ukrainian. They shut all🇺🇦language schools in Russia!
Four mushroom pickers have died in #Chernihiv region in #Ukraine after their car hit a Russian mine.
There is a ban on entering forests for this reason, and sadly they paid with their lives.
Extraordinary claims of #Ukraine success... from a RUSSIAN blogger.
Here's a translation of reports Ukraine's forces broke through deep into Occupied territory in #Kherson region. Completely unconfirmed but look at the map - it could be a #Russia withdrawal to east of the river.
Another of #Russia's jets has been destroyed in #Donetsk region.
#Ukraine's armed forces released these photos of the Su-34, which they did not even know had crashed and was only discovered today in liberated #Lyman.
After freeing #Lyman, the #Ukraine army has pushed on all the way to #Kreminna where battles are ongoing.
#Russia withdrew to here, but are thought to be having trouble to defend a solid front having retreated in haste and being outnumbered and with inferior artillery.
Didn't #Russia say the war was to defeat Nazis in Kyiv?
Now an influential 🇷🇺channel says
"Either we will win on the territory of the former Ukraine, or we will have to win in Russia. Every fighter must understand this; he went to war so that the war would not come to his house"

Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine
Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"
It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.
Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
Review here:
Day 1292 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and Sunday begins with Russia again hitting civilians across the country in another massive attack on a sleeping population.
It's gone 5am in🇺🇦, no-one's able to sleep yet, and I'm starting another daily thread before going to bed...
Saturday exploded into life, and death, at night as Russia began what proved to be an enormous launch of drones, then missiles, at various cities across Ukraine.
The scene in Kyiv this morning.
Just before dawn, the skyline is filled with smoke after more terrorist strikes by Russia.
Terrorism and nukes are all Putin has left.
TACO Trump is the weakest US President ever, yet again failing to honour his deadline, refusing to stop Putin.
It's Friday 5 September, and Day 1290 of the war in Europe.
I am starting this thread in hospital, waiting for the follow-up appointment after my emergency visit 10 days ago. So updates are a little slower than normal at first. But as ever, all the important 🇺🇦🇷🇺news will be here
Well it was after 3am UK time when I closed Thursday's 🧵 , thanks to a burst of late news and action, as Ukraine scored some important hits on Russia and territory it holds.
Catch up on what you missed in the monster-thread here:
A little request here for the #TeamTim community. I know where many of you are from, but some of you are silent readers.
Please, can you all reply to this post, saying which country you're in. It will help see how widespread support is for Ukraine, which will boost🇺🇦 followers
You've found the start of THE daily Ukraine thread on Day 1289 of Russia's illegal invasion.
Each and every day, even when I'm airborne for 7 hours - I've been here without fail to report and analyse all the news from a country I love and have great experience in.
We go again:
A mix of stories in yesterday's thread, starting with clearing up the destruction from another big Russian air attack, Trump performing another "pre-TACO" manoeuvre, and Ukraine continues to hit behind Russian lines.
Despite a growing number of followers, I'm concerned viewing figures have been well down on both forums I post on.
This seems indicative of war-fatigue.
Please let's make a collective effort to keep politicians accountable and ensure justice to stop Russia once & for all.
