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

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.
