Day 272 of #Russia 4 day plan to take #Kyiv and 10 days to control #Ukraine. How's that going?

Here is another daily thread covering all the news as it happens.

Missed something yesterday? Here's the link for all Monday's news:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

Let's start with the daily losses as estimated by #Ukraine.

The total of #Russia's soldiers killed for Putin's egotistical and illegal dream has reached 85,000

The 100,000 figure remain on track to be hit shortly before New Year.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine️
British Intelligence comes to the conclusion I wrote about four days ago when #Ukraine appeared to have struck an oil terminal on #Russia's Black Sea coast with a 'marine drone'

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
First photos have appeared of the destruction of #Russia's base near #Melitopol, reported here a couple of days ago

This is the state of the building in #Vesele now. Tyre tracks can be seen leaving the building after the missile strikes, presumably full of "Cargo 200" (the dead)
Outrage in the Russian Orthodox Church in #Ukraine as Security Service agents raid the historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra.

The SBU says it is tackling subversive activities of #Russia's special services, ensuring premises are not used to hide sabotage groups or store weapons etc.
#Iran's state News Agency reports top level meetings with #Ukraine over the supply of attack drones to #Russia

"Iran believes misunderstandings that have arisen... can be resolved through continued joint engagement on the issue of alleged drones."
#StopRussia
Remind me: who invaded whom?

#Belgorod is strengthening its border with #Ukraine. The paranoia in #Russia's regions closest to Ukraine is reaching crazy levels.

Maybe it's to stop people leaving or importing weapons to start a Belgorod People's Republic?
All schools in #VelikieLuki in #Russia had to be evacuated this morning.

It's a town of 100,000 people in #Pskov Oblast.

The bomb-scare epidemic continues.
Technology firm Nvidia has finally announced it has quit #Russia, nine months after the illegal war commenced.

@nvidia is one of the world's leading Artificial Intelligence companies.

Another EU leader is "scammed" by #Russia's infamous pranksters "Vovan & Lexus"

Impersonating Emanuel Macron, they managedto speak with Polish President Andrzej Duda on the day a rocket fell in #Poland.

The pair must have assistance from RU Intelligence to get past security
2/2

In the call, #Poland's leader Duda said he wouldn't want to allow a "war with Russia" as a result of the Russian made rocket killed two people in the east of Poland.

The conversation was in English, but the only recording I can find so far is with Russian dubbing
Add to the previous tweets.

I cannot hear all of what #Poland's President Duda says, but here is what #Russia's 'comedians' quoted him as saying:
In #Russia the owners of a warehouse that caused a huge fire in central Moscow at the weekend, have been arrested.

It's now known seven people died in the blaze.
#RussiaOnFire

A fair bit of anger in #Ukraine and #Romania today at the actions of #Hungary's Prime Minister.

Viktor #Orbán met one of the country's top footballers Balazs Dzsudsak.

But Orbán was wearing a scarf of "Great Hungary" which right-wingers say includes parts of Romania + Ukraine.
#Kherson's been under attack from #Russia most of this morning with shells falling again now

Earlier a rocket smashed into this house. The owner was inside but survived. One man was injured.

Remember the Kremlin still considers Kherson part of its territory, "killing their own"
Interesting video, spotted by @Tango9_Ali, but I have not been able to verify its authenticity.

It's supposedly from a club in #Kemerovo in #Russia. Locals started arguing with newly mobilised soldiers.
More "friendly fire" - good job they've not been given guns yet!
The Telegraph reports #UK is sending the new laser-guided "Brimstone" missile to #Ukraine

It can travel double the range of the previous model.

Thanks to Gerry for buying me a coffee and thanks to anyone sending me tip offs - my DMs are open (which means I get a lot of unwanted crap!) and thank you to everyone else for reading/following.

Earlier I reported #Ukraine's Intelligence searching the holy Lavra site in #Kyiv.

Now it transpires searches have taken place in two more sites of the Moscow patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

In #Rivne the church is accused of hiding saboteurs from Belarus.
2/2

The #Russia-aligned church in #Rivne oblast is also accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda.

#Ukraine says around $17,500 was found in the administration of the Sarnensko-Polesye diocese of the UOC.

However these photos are all that's been released so far by #Kyiv
I tweeted this very late last night, so worth another outing today:

#Ukraine has summoned #Hungary's ambassador to its Foreign Ministry in #Kyiv.

They say "the unacceptability of Viktor Orban's act will be brought to his attention"

In #Donetsk, a house has been destroyed after shelling in the #Kirovsky district of the occupied city.

Two people were injured.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like there was a lucky escape in #Kramatorsk.

A petrol station was shelled, but escaped explosion.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Remember #Russia's MOD saying #Belgorod was now safe from #Ukraine shelling as they'd destroyed the MLRS which was hitting the border villages?

You guessed it, they're now blaming #Ukraine for shelling of #Shebekino. A woman was killed.

They also claim a hospital was shelled.
#Ukraine's Presidential Adviser can't resist a cheeky dig at #Russia and the changing objectives of the invaders' "special military operation"

More smoke rising in #Kherson.

Grad missiles thought to be targeting the liberated city.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This is Sofiia, a teenage girl in recently liberated #Makiivka in #Luhansk oblast.

She clings to her guinea pig as the family leaves the village which is being evacuated.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
📷TG Tsaplienko
So called "religious" types in #Russia have called for #HarryPotter to be banned in the country.

Shows and festivals dedicated to @jk_rowling's character are becoming popular in the country but now planned events in Moscow and St Petersburg could be scrapped after this appeal.
Explosions confirmed in occupied #Tokmak quite near #Melitopol in #Zaporizhzhia region.
Effective campaigning.

@redbull @RedBullUK have blood on their hands. Every drink bought gives tax for #Russia to kill more Ukrainians.

It's a moral duty.

About an hour ago, the Occupiers in #Crimea reported a drone attack on the west coast of the peninsula.

#Russia obviously says all objects were shot down by air defence. Loud explosions reported in Evpatoria initially but also later near Sevastopol and Balaklava.
Update from #Crimea

This is reported to be Trade pavilions on fire right now on Khrustalny Beach in #Sevastopol

I cannot verify the video and although I do think it's likely genuine it's possible it could be caused by a falling drone rather than a successful hit.
The European Parliament will soon declare the mercenary group #Wagner a terrorist organisation.

@JamesCleverly @RishiSunak - shouldn't UK do the same?
More shelling in #Kherson today.
This time the Russians hit the Ostriv or "island" quarter, in the south of the city, on the river.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
The decline in #Putin's influence and popularity continues.
This is in #Armenia this evening.

#StopRussia
Thank you Darren G for the gift of a coffee and a cake too actually - saved for the morning!
More rockets reported to be fired at #Kherson from the occupied side of the river.
#Kherson - a rocket has landed in Ostriv district again. That means "island" in Ukrainian: as the name suggests it's the area next to the river.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Bulgaria has surprised many with how resolute its support for #Ukraine has been.

But now a potential row with the #EU after they decided to defy sanctions and allow Lukoil's Black Sea refinery to keep exporting oil products to Europe.

abcnews.go.com/International/…
One more insult and war crime in #Kherson committed by #Russia

The invaders are accused of looting the Ukrainian Private bank, opening all the private safe boxes and stealing the personal belongings.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
UPDATE:
#Russia's sources say they prevented an attack on the thermal power plant at #Balaklava this evening.

Occupying authorities in #Crimea say a number of drones were shot down near, or en route, to the facility.

Impossible to validate the claims.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.
