Welcome to Sunday's thread with all the news of #Russia's illegal war - updated live, throughout the day.

All of #Ukraine has been under air raid warnings for an hour with 🇷🇺planes in the sky

Here's the link for yesterday's thread if you missed anything:
It's Day 263 of this war.
In 8 days it's the anniversary of the start of #Euromaidan protests in #Ukraine and subsequent Revolution of Dignity when the corrupt pro-#Russia president fled.

It's also 18 years since Moscow poisoned pro-West future President Viktor #Yushchenko.
The UK daily update focuses on the news about kids getting military training in #Russia's schools.

Will it increase patriotism?

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Well it took the leader of the free world four days, but eventually they got to the position I expected immediately after the election.

The Democrats don't even need to win the run-off in Georgia to keep control of the Senate. #Ukraine will be relieved.

Saturday was quiet, reflected in #Ukraine's daily update on #Russia's war losses

Very little equipment destroyed, but still another 650 Russian troops fertilising the ground. This could be inflated by soldiers who failed to make it across the Dnipro river in the #Kherson retreat
After more than an hour and a half, the air raid warning has been lifted for most of #Ukraine. Not a great start to Sunday morning, many still without electricity too.
I wrote yesterday evening about explosions reported in #Chaplynka in southern #Kherson region.

Later video uploaded from the town seems to show #Ukraine's forces managed to hit an ammo dump.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
It's also being claimed, but without photo evidence, that #Ukraine has hit a base of #Russia's soldiers near #NovaKakhovka in #Kherson region.

There were explosions in this area last night and it's reported up to 500 invaders may have been hit in #Dnipryany next to the river.
More on the previous tweet about #Dnipryany in #Kherson.

#Ukraine claims "two trucks of killed Russian invaders were taken to Tavriysk. 56 seriously injured were taken to hospital, of which 16 more died soon after."

#KhersonIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Did you know?

Today in #Russia it's Day of "Formation of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia says it is in control of the centre of #Opytne village in #Donetsk region.
It's less than 5km from #Ukraine held #Avdiivka and fighting continues on the outskirts.

Elsewhere on the eastern front no further claims of advancement by either side.
#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine is staying silent about what happened in #Cherkasy overnight. There were heavy explosions but not a mention today.

#Russia's war bloggers speculate they hit energy infrastructure, but no lack of power reported.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This footage has just been posted, showing a Russian jet being hit. I cannot verify if it is new or recent, but it may well be.

The video was said to be shot near #Bakhmut.

#StandWithUkraine
Russian soldiers gang raped a 12 year old girl in #Ukraine.

That's the claim as #Ukraine's Intelligence releases what it says is an intercepted phone call from the invaders.

The incident said to have happened in #Kreminna, #Luhansk region

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Apologies, I posted the recording without subtitles!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reports coming in of a (near) riot among newly mobilised soldiers at the well known "Park Patriot" west of #Moscow in #Russia.

The forcibly conscripted know they're heading to the frontline and angrily complained at lack of training.

The General himself tried to reduce tensions
1/2
There's a lot written today about a Russian soldier whose head was smashed in by a sledgehammer.

He was a POW & says he was attacked on the streets of Kyiv after saying he wanted to fight FOR #Ukraine

He was part of a prisoner exchange with #Wagner:

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/1…
2/2

However, a number of questionable aspects:
It's inconceivable #Ukraine would release such a badly injured prisoner.
Indeed, #Ruyssia's #Wagner group virtually admits the execution and further introduces a new term "Cargo 800" - they break the legs of retreaters.
More celebrations in #Kherson today by the "90%" who "voted" in favour of union with #Russia 😂😂😂

#KhersonIsUkraine #Ukraine
In Occupied #Melitopol residents were surprised to see that #Russia's flag has disappeared from one of the flagpoles.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Enlightening thread on the violent death of a "POW" which I mentioned a while ago.

Maybe it won't be so difficult to reclaim the rest of #Kherson?

If #Ukraine hit #Russia's gear at #Chaplynka airfield as I suspect, it's not surprising they want to avoid another #Chornobaivka. Let's hope not just equipment stays away.

You may have heard about an explosion in #Istanbul, where a suspected suicide bomber has killed 11 people.

The incident happened on Istiklal Avenue in the historic Beyoglu district of #Turkiye's biggest city.
Worth pointing out that #Russia's Consulate is on this street.
Re the previous tweet:
CNN Turk is reporting only that 11 people were injured (not killed), no official confirmation of victims.

I apologise if the initial report proves inaccurate, but I merely wanted to make the so far tenuous link to Russia.
Sadly a new aquafresh wrapper was found for the pole in #Melitopol'

Earlier I reported that #Russia's flag in the Occupied town had "disappeared"
A lot of people on the eastern front line saying it's hell right now.

Today in #Toretsk a maternity hospital and a dispensary were shelled by #Russia's forces.

#Ukraine's Head of #Donetsk, Pavel Kirilenko reports no civilian casualties.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia says it foiled an attempted landing by #Ukraine's armed forces on the Kinburn Spit, the far western tip of the south bank of the Dnipro.

The Kremlin claims up to 20 members of Ukraine's 73rd Marine Special Operations were killed near the village of Pokrovskoe.

No proof
Power cuts in part of #Kursk region of #Russia today after shelling.

Locals report 7 rockets hitting the border village of Krasnooktyabrsky in the #Glushkovsky District.

#StandWithUkraine
However, in complete contrast to the previous report, #Ukraine says it successfully landed troops on the spit yesterday.

This evening they report they've liberated the strip of land up to the village of #Heroiske
#RussiaOnFire

Arson is a possible reason for this fire near St Petersburg according to investigators.

This church (Veniamin's) in the village of #Yanino is only 10 years old.

Earlier it was feared the dome may collapse but the blaze was extinguished before that happened.
They haven't done yet, but if things get really tough for #Ukraine, the Babushki division is ready to liberate the rest of the country.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Multiple loud explosions reported in #Luhansk. At least five according to local posts.

Of course authorities say air defence worked perfectly.
There is evidence of success in the sky, but from the reports of the loud decibels, it seems likely at least one rocket landed.
Already suspicion of a mass grave in liberated #Kherson

It's at the city's cemetery, but mass burials look to have taken place. Some of the graves have dates from the first two weeks of the invasion.
It's unknown how many people were buried there.

#StandWithUkraine
Do they know something we don't?

#Russia's NTV has suddenly removed not only #Kherson, but also #Melitopol and #Luhansk from its weather map!

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Bizarre protest in #Perm'

Olga Syutkina was arrested for "discrediting the army"

Her poster reads “They surrendered #Kherson, they will also surrender #Moscow

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
