Finally, here is the thread for Day 226 of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.

Apologies for the last start, so much going on, chatting to people in Ukraine, planning for the fundraiser and tennis work too!

More criticism of #Russia's war effort and lack of training/discipline was highlighted earlier today by the British daily update:

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutin

Following Boxing's Governing Body taking the incredulous decision to readmit fighters from #Russia and #Belarus, the sport could be heading for a split.

#Sweden outright refuses to attend any tournament featuring boxers from 🇷🇺or🇧🇾. The next event is in Montenegro next week!

For the third successive day #Russia attacked #Zaporizhzhia and again clearly civilian apartment blocks have been targeted.

One man's reported injured so far, but other casualties seem likely

Meanwhile they're still retrieving bodies of the dead from yesterday's Russian bombing of #Zaporizhzhia.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState #Ukraine #Zaporozhe

#Ukraine says it found hundreds of documents the invaders failed to destroy before they fled #Lyman

In the village of Yatskivka, they discovered the Occupiers' HQ.

Lists of prisoners and illegally arrested people were found in the building.

#Ukraine's Air Force says it has shot down another of #Russia's helicopters.

The Ka-52 attack helicopter, known as an Alligator, was hit by an anti-aircraft missile.

Civil Rights defenders from #Ukraine #Russia and #Belarus were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

This has finally been confirmed by #Ukraine today.
#Makiivka is back in Ukrainian hands.

Not sure if we can believe this or if it's an attempt to undermine #Putin, but the WaPo reports a member of the Russian leader's inner circle has directly disagreed with Bunker Boy.

They say it indicates growing discontent with Putin:

Two kids died in occupied #Zaporizhzhia - possibly from a landmine.

The 9 year old boy and a girl aged 5, were killed in Pidhirne, south of the regional capital.

They'd gone with her grandfather to a cemetery where it's still possibly to connect to #Ukraine mobile networks.

One man has died and another injured in the latest shelling of #Nikopol.

Head of #Dnipropetrovsk region Valentin Reznichenko says #Russia "hit with Grads and heavy artillery"

The missiles landed in the Chervonohrihorivska area of the town.
This video is of this morning's attack

Another village in #Kharkiv region is liberated.

This is #Podoly, just a couple of kilometres from #Kupiansk

Looks like another of #Russia's Commanders has been ditched - they'll soon be running out of people to blame for losing the war!

Colonel-General Aleksandr Chaiko, head of Moscow's Eastern Military District, has been replaced by Lieutenant-General Rustam Muradov.

#StopRussia

The Financial Times reports Elon Musk's Starlink devices stopped working near the frontline, hampering #Ukraine's efforts to liberate the territory.

It comes days after "the world's richest man" suggested giving in to #Russia over #Crimea.
Coincidence?

So who do we think was responsible for shelling Europe's largest nuclear power plant?

16 years ago today Putin and his cronies murdered one of the bravest reporters I've ever read.

These are videos from a crossing point somewhere on the #Luhansk-#Russia border tonight.

@CarolynnePries1 has been monitoring and seeing a constant stream of soldiers passing through, presumably new conscripts, and now these.

#StopRussia

2/2

Somewhere on the #Ukraine/#Russia border in Occupied #Luhansk.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome

There will be a magnificent reaction when #Ukraine liberates #Ilovaisk.

The occupied town, the name of which is imprinted on Ukrainian psyche, is being struck by rockets tonight.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine

Reports of a big explosion in #Melitopol tonight.

No mention on any of the occupiers' channels or other news sites, but this is reported by the exiled mayor of the Occupied town, Ivan Fedorov. He is usually very accurate with his updates.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The death toll from yesterday's strike by #Russia on an apartment block in #Zaporizhzhia has risen to 14.

Many were buried under the rubble and the true extent of the killing is only just known.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine

Earlier today a video was published from some of the liberated villages of #Kherson oblast.

Pray that #Russia's 'peacemakers' never visit your town.

Music: Overcome by Skott
#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome

What's that? You want more music and good news from #Ukraine?

Sure. How about the symbol of #Kherson being liberated? The Watermelon monument gets a welcome blue and yellow addition.

Music: Meri - "I'm from Ukraine" (Ya z Ukraini)
#SlavaUkraini

I saw John SImpson popped up on @BBCNews interviewing @ZelenskyyUa.

Wonder if #Ukraine's President asked him about his visit to #Crimea?

Update on the videos I posted in the last hour from the #Russia- (occupied) #Ukraine border.
Thanks Rob

No surprise Putin's mob follow the Nazi playbook again!

One person killed in #Russia's continuous shelling of #Sumy oblast.

Almost every day since liberation in April, the region has been hit with rockets/grads. Today over 20 missiles were fired.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia

The centre of #Kharkiv hit by #Russia tonight.

The missile strike is confirmed by the mayor of the city.

Locals say one of the medical institutions in Kharkiv is on fire, as well as another 'non-residential' building.
