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.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
