After months being afraid to even be on the streets of #Kherson and terrified of being caught with any yellow and blue material, the residents of the now de-occupied city are relishing their first taste of freedom in over 8 months.
One more video, and this is the first of #Ukraine's soldiers to enter the city of #Kherson.
Understandably they're greeted as heroes as the crowd chanting "ZSU" to show their support for the armed forces, which has forced #Russia's army to flee.
A blurry photo of the damage at the Hydro-Electricity plant and bridge in #Kakhovka.
#Ukraine says #Russia's troops blew up an energy facility and a canal before leaving last night, resulting in a loss of power and water for much of #Kherson today. #RussiaIsATerroristState
Much joy on the right bank of the river Dnipro in #Kherson oblast. Meanwhile on the left bank, where #Russia retreated to, another explosion is seen.
Remember, a large part of the province is still occupied.
The 'famous' #Kherson mega-flag of #Ukraine - seen when #Russia invaded the city in February, was unfurled again today.
This morning on @TimesRadio I heard Sergey Markov say 90% of Kherson wanted to be Russian. What a clown he is and terrible that a lot of lies went unchallenged
#Ukraine has started strengthening its borders to the north and east.
ooh, look at this. The "aquafresh" has disappeared from #NovaKakhovka in #Kherson oblast. And that's on the LEFT bank (east of the river) where the Russians fled to.
The country is united. Together like never before.
The predominantly Russian speaking people of #Kherson hate #Russia and all because of #Putin, who's done a great job of uniting #Ukraine.
The state of just one family's home in #Kherson after #Russia's soldiers used it during the Occupation.
Totally ransacked; almost anything of value which was not broken was taken.
The first of many likely #WarCrimes, likely far worse tales are to come.
This time last night we were wondering how much damage was being caused by the numerous explosions with #Ukraine's Defence Min claiming 40,000 Russians were trapped, waiting to flee.
Turned out #Russia was doing the bombing as new satellite photos prove:
Wow! Banksy just made his first post of 2022 on his Instagram page. It's new street art on the ruins of a building in #Borodianka, near #Kyiv destroyed by #Russia back in February.
It seems this post earlier may well have added importance.
A #Ukraine Resistance movement says it has sources confirming #Russia will evacuate its people from #NovaKakhovka tomorrow (Saturday), sending them close to the border with #Crimea.
It's Friday! The weekend approaches.
It's also the 814th day of #Russia trying to destroy #Ukraine, its language, culture and people, and over 10 years since the first invasion.
For all the news on Day 814 keep clicking back here.
No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.
Missed any of it? Just click here and scroll through the day's news:
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
