The news agenda is still dominated by one event in #Russia, where the first serious questions are being asked by "regular" (non liberal) families over military disasters.
It follows this wipeout of a new battalion of mobilised troops by #Ukraine's forces
This footage has been published in #Kherson, supposedly from the regional government building.
Remember #Russia's flag was removed earlier this week and it looks genuine that this is indeed the now abandoned building.
It's also said toilets were again stolen, but no proof here:
What did you do when you woke up this morning?
Turn on the light? Take a shower? Make a tea of coffee?
For anyone in #Ukraine the last task at night or first in the morning is to check when the power cuts will happen and if they will be able to do any of the things you and I did
In #Odesa seems they are fed up with statues being given "patriotic" makeovers!
I deleted this video from liberated #Lyman and now reposting because #Russia has just claimed it hit a base for #Ukraine fighters, presumably this school was it.
The Kremlin says "up to 100 foreign mercenaries" were destroyed including "about 40 from USA, UK and Poland."
#Russia indirectly admits hacking former British PM's phone.
Moscow spy chief Sergey Naryshkin told a TV programme an SMS from Liz Truss to Anthony Blinken saying "everything is done" referred to the #NordStream pipeline sabotage.
Much of occupied #Kherson region has been without power all day and some residents also without water.
Now #Russia says #Ukraine's Resistance has caused the outages with an explosion on the Beryslav-Kakhovka road which damaged concrete supports of a high-voltage power line.
Remarkable video from occupied #Luhansk oblast.
So many people have died the cemeteries are full.
Now they resort to just burying "#Russia's heroes" at the side of the road.
The music by the way is "Everything's Going To Plan" by the late Yegor Letov.
Seen on TG UAonlii
A #Ukraine politician from #Kherson says there are fewer than 20,000 of #Russia's soldiers remaining on the right bank of the region.
By the way the right bank's the LEFT side of the map.
Confused? The left bank is left side of a river in direction it flows; in this case🧭N➡️S
How good is this street art?
In #Mykolaiv, Kolya Serhi made this mural near a playground, to show a boy escaping the war to reach back into his sunny childhood in the city.
Another of #Russia's so-called church has been killed in #Ukraine
"Archpriest" Mikhail Vasilev gloried in working at "the headquarters of the Strategic Missile Forces"
Russian Orthodox priests regularly bless missiles sent to kill civilians in #Ukraine & utter racist statements.
Confirmation that the statue of "Catherine the Great" in #Odesa is being dismantled.
This morning I reported on fencing which appeared around the legendary Russian leader. Now a sign has been put on the fence announcing the news.
#Kherson is no longer subjected to Russian TV programmes!
Spokesman for #Ukraine's Southern Command, Vladislav Nazarov says the Kremlin's propaganda channels stopped being transmitted about a week ago after the previous wave of "evacuations".
A little earlier this was posted on Tiktok allegedly showing #Russia's fearless army adding a children's train ride to the long list of goods stolen from #Kherson.
Maybe they need a faster getaway?
Many media are running this video but it is unverified.
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..
You've found the start of another daily thread and Friday is Day 1507 of Ukraine's heroic struggle to keep alive its independent statehood.
Since Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's uprising in 1648, Ukraine has never had 35 years of freedom. It's about to accomplish that, but at what cost?
All the important stories, throughout the day, every day. It's all fact-checked; I'm a real, trained journalist with vast experience and knowledge of Ukraine.
What's not to love?😆
Catch up on yesterday's thread here:
This is the beginning of the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1491.
The day started with an attack a major Russian port, which I was still reporting on during yesterday's🧵at 03:15 GMT/05:15 Kyiv
More details on that coming up.
The aerial fightback at the end of the day (start of today) came after Russia broke every record in the book for drone numbers during a cowardly attack on less protected city centres in the west of the country.
