Day 228 of #Putin's war.
It's already another bloody and murderous day in #Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour.

#Ukraine stands strong though.

Here's the daily thread.
Check through yesterday's news right here⬇️

Seventeen people murdered this morning as #Russia continues its merciless assault on #Zaporizhzhia

Numerous private houses and apartment blocks were damaged, over a hundred injured with 49 in hospital.

12 missiles hit mostly civilian targets.

No doubt #RussiaIsATerroristState
British Defence Ministry update concentrates on the #Kerch Bridge attack on #Crimea

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Many reports say the death toll is 12 in #Zaporizhzhia but a little earlier Secretary of the City Council Anatoly Kurtev gave the total 17

Six children are among those hospitalised with wounds from the blasts.

Just days ago 19 people were murdered by #Russia in similar attacks.
Strong rumours that #Putin could be about to make major changes in yet another attempt to turn around #Russia's losses on the battlefield.

Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu may be replaced by Tula Gov. Aleksey Dyumin, while Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov may also be sacked
Death. Devastation. Destruction.
#Russia's calling cards.

It's been an almost non stop attack on #Zaporizhzhia this week.

#Ukraine's rescue services still look for more bodeis

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Strong burning in occupied #HolaPrystan' this morning.
The town is only around 10km south of #Kherson city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A school in the Kalininsky district of #Donetsk has been hit by shelling.

Looks like targeted strikes but not with the most destructive rockets. Obviously at a weekend and early in the morning no one should be around - but #Russia's troops often use schools as military bases.
One place where #Russia has made a little ground is near #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk).
Invaders have been on the eastern outskirts of the city for weeks without progress. But they're now moving in from the south too.
#Russia's Ministry of Transport has issued the following statement:

"The movement of freight and passenger trains on the #Crimea Bridge is on schedule, suburban traffic will be fully restored at 19.00"

#KerchBridge #CrimeaIsUkraine
#Luhansk Occupiers say #HIMARS rockets were fired at the temporary location of their Ministry of Emergency Situations near #Starobilsk

No internet there, so difficult to get the truth or photos. But on chat sites multiple people confirm an explosion at around 02:00
#StopRussia
A propagandist from #Russia's Army TV has posted a video clip of his drive over the #KerchBridge

Meanwhile all trains delayed from yesterday are now said to have crossed from #Crimea into Russian territory.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #CrimeaBridge
#Ukraine has confirmed which villages the army controls in #Luhansk oblast.

Governor Haidai names them as:
Novolyubivka, Nevske , Hrekivka, Novojehorivka, Nadiya, Andriivka and Stelmakhivka.

All are in the Svativskyi district, just a few km from the state border with #Donetsk
#England and #Ukraine have been drawn together in qualifying for the 2024 men's European Football Championships.

Both countries were placed in Group C at the draw in Frankfurt, along with #Italy, #NorthMacedonia and #Malta. Only the top two qualify.
A 40 year old man from #Russia wrote "Putin is a murderer" on the gate of the Russian embassy in Moldova.

He also threw a firecracker into its territory.
It actually happened Fri/Sat but I've only just seen it.

#StopPutinNow #StandWithUkraine
Another gesture of goodwill from #Russia to leave a working "Caterpillar" minelayer in full working order for the hosts.

Now f*** off back to Russia
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Here's a riddle. When is a TV tower fire not a fire?
Answer: when it's in #Moscow

Something that looks distinctly like a fire or at least sparks shooting from the TV tower in #Russia's capital. The Fire Dept attended and said there is no fire!

#StopRussia
When we talked about #Russia sending cannon fodder and cattle to the frontline, I didn't really think they'd transport the forcibly mobilised like cows.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia celebrating "suburban trains" crossing the damaged #CrimeanBridge for the first time since yesterday's explosion.

This departed #Kerch while a train from #Anapa went in the opposite side. However I can't see anyone on this train!

#StopRussia #CrimeaIsUkraine
Don't know about you, but I'm a bit disappointed this time the FSB's super quick solving of a complex case didn't involve a 12 year old girl from #Ukraine!

Occupied #Donetsk - a fire burns in the city - in Petrovsky district.
The "pops" seem regular wood burning rather than anything more suspicious.

A few minutes before, #Russia's forces launched missiles but one was shot down (or malfunctioned)
Maybe the two are linked?

Here's the missile launch by #Russia in Occupied #Donetsk.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopPutin
Rage🤬🤬🤬😰

A maniac from #Saratov in #Russia kept a tiger cub 'Aurora' locked up in total darkness.

Reportedly fed and watered only once a week, she's now blind and terrified.
Animal Rights activists have now rescued the poor creature.

via #Lenta.ru
#Russia is once again trying to destroy #Nikopol.

The town is in the south of #Dnipropetrovsk region, just over the water from occupied #Enerhodar where the nuclear power plant is.

#RussiaisATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Reports circulating among pro-Russians that the invaders have hit a major railway hub in #Pavlograd in #Dnirpopetrovsk region. They also claim secondary explosives indicating perhaps hitting weapons or ammo.

I've searched. Locals say one explosion, and #Ukraine says air defence

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:

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.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?
