A new week in #Russia's deadly war on #Ukraine and this morning explosions have returned to the capital #Kyiv two days after the #Kerch bridge from #Crimea was hit.
This is Daily thread number 229. All the news in one place, and here's the link for y'day
A shot while ago the Mayor of #Kyiv, Vitaliy Klichko (Klitschko) made a statement from the city centre (with English subtitles).
The relatively new bridge, affectionately bearing his name, is one of the objects damaged in #Russia's deliberate targeting of civilians #SaveUkraine
Terrorists in #Moscow cynically declare they achieved goals with civilian missile strikes in #Ukraine
They "inflicted a massive strike with high-precision, long-range weapons on objects of the military management, communication & energy systems of Ukraine."
These look military?
#Ukraine is asking citizens to reduce power usage after the missile strikes caused major problems with keeping supplies connected.
Lights in #Kyiv will be temporarily turned off, but the metro is already running again.
Parts of many towns remain without power. #StopRussia
Very, very disappointed with @damart_uk for not supporting our campaign for winter clothing for #Ukraine's troops.
As a teen I used to work for them, would've been a great story but they ignored my email and then with the follow up phone call said they were unable to help.
But thanks to Tony who made a massive gift to our fundraiser, which has taken us over £5,000 - great news!
See my pinned tweet if you can help #Ukraine's soldiers take on the terrorists of #Russia.
Fits with what I'm hearing too.
This forces #Ukraine to have more troops in the north instead of pushing south.
Cannot help feeling how many thousands of lives and homes have been ruined by the west's refusal to do the correct thing and supply adequate air defence to #Ukraine.
Even if too many are scared of 'provoking' Putin, air defence is, guess what, purely defensive!
Do it NOW!
#Zaporizhzhia was subjected to a new wave of rocket attacks in the city.
Rescue workers are already at the scene, there are reports of casualties. #Ukraine has asked not to publish photos yet, but this CCTV gives you an idea of the power of the incoming #Russia|n missiles
The Head of Britain's spy base, GCHQ will today say #Russia is running out of weapons and #Ukraine is "turning the tide".
Sir Jeremy Fleming's speech in London will accuse Putin of flawed decision making. “The use of prisoners..and mobilisation, speaks of a desperate situation."
After launching almost 100 missiles and drones on #Ukraine on Monday, there's been an almost country-wide air raid warning already in the early hours of Tuesday.
It comes hours after a phone call in which Joe Biden promised to give Pres Zelenskyy air defence equipment.
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
Following Boxing's Governing Body taking the incredulous decision to readmit fighters from #Russia and #Belarus, the sport could be heading for a split.
#Sweden outright refuses to attend any tournament featuring boxers from 🇷🇺or🇧🇾. The next event is in Montenegro next week!
