Eight months ago today #Russia did what it promised the world it would not do, and invaded a peaceful country.
Over 100,000 deaths later, the fight to protect democracy and freedom continues. #Ukraine will prevail.
This is the daily news thread for Day 243 of #PutinsWar

Day 243 is the day the #UK is likely to get a defacto new leader.
This month's Prime Minister will be Rishi Sunak. A poisoned chalice; I suspect Boris bides his time for a post-election-defeat leadership bid.
Sunak's been the least vociferous on #Russia but nothing will change

Sticking with the UK, the daily Intel report is again not very revealing. Pretty sure the weekend team left this one for publication this morning.
They're in danger of droning on!

In #Kherson another monument has disappeared. The 18th century Russian prince and General, Aleksandr Suvorov was commemorated on this plinth until last night.
No way saboteurs could have done that under occupation, so almost certainly #Russia has stolen this too before they flee

Perhaps fearing it could face a virtual worldwide ban, #Russia's propaganda channel RT has had to suspend Anton Krasovsky after his vile comments about #Ukraine's children.
This sort of talk is not uncommon on state channels, but this went viral.

"#Russia is not fleeing #Kherson" is the message from #Ukraine's Defence Intel Chief Kyrylo Bdudanov.
He says it's a smokescreen in this interview as new military units arrive.
My expectation is the withdrawal behind the river Dnipro in around a week.

North and west of the river #Dnipro in #Kherson oblast, the troops of #Ukraine continue to advance.
In the last few minutes large explosions in occupied #NovaKakhovka.

Another high number of #Russia's soldiers killed in #Ukraine in the last 24 hours according to Kyiv.
Quite low numbers in the other categories, indicating a lot of these suspected deaths were the targeting of the Occupiers' bases, sleeping quarters etc.

#Ukraine's Head of the state energy company says the country can import electricity from Europe in the current crisis.
Volodymyr Kudrytskyi does not say if it's technically possible to import all the power it needs and he says the big problem is the higher price.

In #Kherson region, occupiers say the explosions in #NovaKakhovka were air defence working. Indeed, no reports of explosions on the ground that I can find.
Meanwhile a report of a blast in #Kherson itself.
#Russia's planes are in the sky over the city and also #Beryslav

Still in #Kherson where another monument has gone missing, presumably taken by the Russians.
This time the "victim" is Fyodor Ushakov - he was an 18th century Naval Commander.

In #Donetsk, a few shells have been landing in seemingly insignificant areas and targets.
Here's one landing site, in #Kirovsky district.
There remains a strong possibility this is nothing to do with #Ukraine's forces, but terrorism of the population so they believe it's Ukraine

#Ukraine's media reaction to Rishi Sunak's coronation as the #UK's New PM is to highlight his family's links to Russian money.
Sunak's Father-in-Law (who's met Putin) owns #Infosys. It's reportedly not completely shut down its #Russia operation. Sunak's wife holds Infosys shares

#Russia's government has agreed to let (force) teams from the Occupied territories compete in the Russian Football League system. It remains to be seen how many "new" teams there will be and at which level they will play.
Explosion and fire in western suburbs of #Kherson.
It's reported to be at a previously abandoned house near Shumensky market.
May be vandals, or may be it was being used for storage by the occupiers.

Rails were damaged between #Novozybkov and #Zlinka, which is just 5 miles/8km from the border.

Just to stress #Russia tonight at the UN has continued to make totally unfounded allegations with zero proof.
"Russia will consider Kyiv's use of a "dirty bomb" as an act of nuclear terrorism" Russia's Rep at the UN Vasily Nebenzi wrote in a letter to UN Gen Sec @antonioguterres

Susan Sarandon clearly meant this as a warning to citizens in the U.S., but the words are perfect for #Russia which went through all these phases en route to where we are now with outright Nazi behaviour, invasions, war crimes et al.

To prove the nonsense of #Russia's claims at the UN and in the worldwide media, #Ukraine invited the @iaeaorg to inspect sites in the country. They are on their way:

No. The Russian State used at least 3 old photos to try to make a claim which simply does not exist.

Well #Ukraine's Intel is a big fan of the online videos they post. Today they lamented the loss of this invader who died after a welcome gift of a #HIMARS visit

That guy was not the only one to die today.
The TikTok videos his unit from #Chechnya posted left clues as to their location.
#Ukraine soon sent the super-accurate #HIMARS to blast the school used by those fighting for #Russia.
Reports say 40 dead, 60 badly injured

No, no, not coffins on the embankment at #Kherson. Probably some new containers for spring plants in #Russia's world.
