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.

#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

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...

1/2
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?

Day 1541 of Russia's war on Ukraine - this is PART TWO of today's thread.

I'm restarting, and linking here to the 17 posts so far today (thread part one).
If I continued I would not able to see any replies.

I've now had confirmation of one fatality in Russia's attack on Kyiv.

The injury count is now up to 16.
This is a video from first responders, trying to rescue those trapped in a collapsed apartment building in the Darnytskyi district.
Air alerts are beginning to be lifted in more regions of Ukraine.
Among those is Khmelnytskyi, where there was a drone swarm on the military airbase. No damage is reported.

Hello again. It's the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1540 of Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour, which never threatened nor ever fired a shot at Russia, until after the original 2014 invasion.

All the big news in one place, every single day. It's what I do!
Tuesday saw a late flurry by Ukrainian drones in Russia, while earlier the Terrorist State was having problems with self-starting fires.

Loads of other interesting stories in a near 50-post thread - missed anything? Click and scroll now:

A big daytime drone attack on Ukraine is ongoing as I type.

Explosions have been heard in Kyiv - air defence shooting them down as far as I can tell so far. About 30 Russian drones are attacking the region and city.

Day 1530 of the war in Europe.
After almost going through the night, it's a late start for me today, but details are now in from another dramatic night.

More civilians murdered in Ukraine, more Russian drones in NATO territory and more Russian ships hit.

Lots to catch up on..
We fell well short of 15k views yesterday despite a very long thread.

We ended with late night drone waves by Ukraine, while earlier on Saturday Russia was hitting buses and trains in another big daytime attack as Putin gets increasingly desperate.

First, news about Ukraine claims of striking THREE boats overnight.

The most significant hit during the new attack on Novorossiysk is the hit on the Karakurt, which was specifically protecting the oil terminal there.

It had 8 Kalibr missiles + a Pantsir air defence onboard Image

The morning after the night before. A dreadful 24 hours for Ukraine as Terrorism rained down on all four of 🇺🇦's biggest cities.

Russia acts with impunity. Putin & his commanders have got away with war crimes for 4 years, so what will change?

Here's the🧵for Day 1513
As I type, BSky is down, which causes problems as it's much easier to simul-post than go back & repost everything later.

So, like the old days before fascism took over here, I'm on X (itter) only.

But these problems are infinitesimally small compared to 1000s in Ukraine today.
A pretty astonishing 24 hours of round-the-clock day and night attacks from Russia. Trying to exhaust Ukraine's air defence missiles and also exhaust the operators too, no doubt.

Many, many civilian deaths and injuries.
This is how it unfolded..
