You've found the start of daily thread number 2⃣2⃣7⃣

All the news and a few views of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine in one handy place.

Just 6 days remain to help our #Ukraine fundraiser.
We're at £4,500. Can you help us reach £5k today?

If you need a recap on Friday's news and events, here's the start of the thread:

#RussiansGoHome #SlavaUkraini

An important point made by the British MOD today.

The criticism from some about #Russia's war effort is very much controlled and serves a purpose.
For a start everything Kadyrov does is for Putin - his father was a traitor who switched sides in the Chechen wars.
#StopRussia Image
The big news though is events in occupied #Crimea.

During the night, on the bridge linking Crimea to #Russia, this happened:

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine
Here's another view of the extraordinary moment #Russia's beloved (and illegal) #Crimea bridge was partially destroyed.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Russia says one of the lorry tankers crossing the bridge exploded. It was carrying fuel and they say it is a terrorist act.
So they either accept #Ukraine is hitting them hard or they admit internal dissent.

Here's how the #Crimea bridge looked after the explosion

#StopRussia
#Crimea bridge hit.
The road is ruined, and also the railway tracks are severely damaged.

Repairs are unlikely to be swift!

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussiaNOW Image
There is panic in #Russia, among the people and the leaders.

They were always told the #Kerch bridge in #Crimea was untouchable and fully protected.

Now there are huge queues at gas stations, people want, and need, to leave Crimea but they have a long, difficult journey ahead.
#Crimea

After the attack on the #Kerch bridge, there are restrictions on the sale of gas/petrol.

Rumours of other products being restricted too. The population know supplies can run out quickly, so big queues already this morning in supermarkets.

#StopRussia #CrimeaIsUkraine
No admission from #Ukraine that it is behind the attack on the #Kerch bridge in #Crimea, but they're happy!

The Crimea bridge is illegal, having been built without permission AFTER occupation in 2014.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
I've just been reading many comments from #Russia like this too. Nicely translated here in one tweet.

The hatred towards #Ukraine, #US, the west just got turned up a lot. That's not good, but inevitable because of the brainwashing. We need to educate

It may not be the time for trolling, but #Ukraine's Defence just can't resist!

Ukrainsky Pravda is the first media company to directly say #Ukraine is responsible for the #Kerch Bridge attack.

There's little in the story to be honest, just "a source" saying Ukr Security Services were behind the explosions on the #Crimea bridge.

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/10/8…
OMG 🔥🔥🔥

#Ukraine's National Security and Defence chief sends a message to Putin, who turned 70 yesterday.

Meanwhile the partial retreat, partial destruction of #Russia's army north/west of the Dnipro river continues in #Kherson.

My information is that
Lyubimivka, Bruskynske, Mirolyubivka and Zolota Balka have all been liberated, in different parts of the frontline.

#SlavaUkraini
500 aircraft (planes and helicopters) have now been destroyed by #Ukraine since the full invasion in February. A notable landmark.

#Russia's losses are astonishing.
Still large numbers of troops dying daily.

#StopRussia Image
Thanks so much to this morning's donators.
Derek you are the star of the day - £200 given to help #Ukraine's forces with winter clothing and more.

We are almost at £4,800 now. See the pinned tweet.
💙💛
#Russia says 3 people died in the #Kerch bridge explosion.

The bodies of a man and a woman have been recovered from the sea.

Emergency services had put out the fire on the #Crimea bridge a while ago.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine #CrimeaIsUkraine Image
I thought this was a joke when I saw chat about it, but no!

#Ukraine's postal service is already planning a new stamp commemorating the #Crimea bridge destruction.

Queues soon at post offices around the country I'm guessing!

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia Image
hmmm, #Russia says it is still able to use the #Kerch bridge.

The Kremlin claims it's re-opened an undamaged section of road on the bridge to #Crimea, just hours after the devastating explosion.

Only cars and buses are allowed, with lorries being sent to the ferry.

#StopRussia
Ten cars at a time are being allowed through on the #Kerch bridge, allowing people to leave #Crimea.

But the traffic jams are huge.

#StandWithUkraine️ #CrimeaIsUkraine
The owner of the truck that is thought to have been responsible for the #Crimea bridge attack has recorded a video message saying he was abroad, but his uncle used the lorry to deliver orders.

It seems an IED on the lorry was timed to ignite fuel being transported by train.
It's Saturday. Always football fans in Britain eager to try out new songs!

#SlavaUkraini
#Ukraine's Presidential Adviser denies #Ukraine was involved in the #Kerch bridge attack.

Mykhailo Podolyak says it's due a conflict between the FSB and Private Military Contractors on the one hand and the Ministry of Defence on the other.

#StopRussia
Video of #Ukraine shooting down one of #Russia's dwindling supply of Su-24 fighter jets.

This somewhere in east Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Belgorod in #Russia reports more shelling in the region today.

The town of Grayvoron was hit. Two houses and a farm reportedly damaged but no injuries.
Today midway between #Mariupol' and #Donetsk it looks as though someone was smoking again!

At Karan' station in the small village of Andriivka, multiple explosions were witnessed, looking very much like one of the Occupiers' ammo stores giving up its gifts.

#StopRussia
Yet more shelling near #Nikopol.

This time #Marhanets has been hit again. A fire has broken out at the scene of #Russia's attack.

#Margents #Dnipropetrovsk #Ukraine
#RussiaIsATerroristState
A train has run across the #Kerch bridge; #Russia says it's started selling tickets again.
Personally I think it's propaganda. I doubt they'll be running for a few days & probably not carrying military equipment to #Crimea for a while

Planet showed before/after satellite photos ImageImage
Tonight there are reports that #Germany has delivered the promised IRIS-T air defence system and other equipment to #Ukraine

It's believed around 100 tanks originally from #Greece + #Slovakia have also been handed over.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Here's video of the supposed passenger train passing over the #Kerch bridge from Simferopol on Occupied #Crimea to #Moscow.

I remain sceptical there are many, if any passengers, and certainly they won't risk the weight of transporting tanks etc until after proper repairs.
Ahh, bless the Russians.

Looks very much like they are trying to make the #Kerch bridge in #Crimea into yellow and blue colours😅😅💙💛🇺🇦

#SaveUkraine #CrimeaIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome Image
There's a lot of hatred of #Russia
We must try to educate the brainwashed & support brave people who do protest. Not all Russians are bad.

Things like this happen every day. One person pickets are legal, but Vadim Burlakov was arrested in #Belgorod "Freedom and Victory #Ukraine" Image
1/3

A massive blast hit #Zaporizhzhia about an hour ago.

Infrastructure in the city has been hit according to early reports

In this video you can see things falling from the sky, kamikaze drones or rockets.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
2/3

An alternative view of the strike(s) on #Zaporizhzhia city by the local Telegram channel.

First indications are that no one has been injured

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
3/3

There is now a fire at the impact site in #Zaporizhzhia which emergency services are battling.

Information is still scarce and the air raid warning is still in effect.

#StopRussia #StopPutin
Somewhere in #Ukraine a massive trainload of equipment heads to the frontline to support the efforts to liberate the sovereign lands.

This video is already circulating on some pro-Russian channels so no harm in sharing it.

The clip is timestamped this evening.

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
