Well despite #Iran's denials, The #UK government is in no doubt that it's their "kamikaze" drones which are causing death and destruction, involved in a string of war crimes in #Ukraine.
No "maybe" or "possibly" - Britain says IT IS Iran providing #Russia with killing machines.
A very high number of #Russia's soldiers became fertiliser in #Ukraine's soil over the past 24 hours*
In addition, 35 drones shot down and a continued high amount of Artillery systems still being picked out by the Defenders.
*Ukr govt figures
The cowardly, aerial assault continues this morning.
#Zhytomyr, #IvannoFrankivsk, #Dnipro and the capital #Kyiv (photo) all under attack.
Again energy installations are the primary targets, with large scale power cuts happening already and likely to happen throughout the morning
#Ukraine's air defence has improved but stopping all of the weapons through the air will never be possible.
Here air defence takes out a missile mid air, a rare close up of the strike.
As a result of today's attacks by #Russia, two thermal power plants have been significantly damaged.
One plant worker died, another 7 were injured.
There is now huge strain on the country's electricity grid.
Meanwhile Ukraine is not allowed to strike 🇷🇺 with western weapons
Investigators in #Kharkiv say they've exhumed 600 bodies in the area previously occupied by #Russia.
In #Donetsk region, 5 murdered children have been exhumed in #Lyman. Four of the kids were buried in a mass grave, the other buried by his mother in their yard. #WarCrimes
#Israel's Defence Minister refused to speak to his #Ukraine counterpart in the wake of #Iran's killer drones being used to smash the country's people and infrastructure.
However #Ukraine will officially request defensive help from Israel.
Head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, says "Unfortunately, the Red Cross not only tolerates Russian violations of all norms of international law, but also does so silently."
Judging by the decision the Occupiers in #Kherson have taken, to evacuate most of the north of river, I'm fairly confident that #Russia is losing more ground and about to withdraw forces again to beyond the Dnipro 🤞

Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.
I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.
But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.
It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.
🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.
#RussiansGOHOME
#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!
State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet.
Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.
Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.
So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.
We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin
Hello again and welcome to Sunday's thread on the first day of September. This is the 32nd month which has seen fighting since #Russia chose to invade its peaceful neighbour.
All the news from, and about #Ukraine in one place, updated throughout the day, every day. It's Day 921
Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.
The Kremlin says over 150 drones were shot down in the biggest Ukraine UAV attack of the war.
Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.
The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.
Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.
This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.
Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack
