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.

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.

Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.

Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?

Saturday was another full-on journalistic stint, catching sleep when I could.
Kharkiv shattered overnight then a daytime attack on a kids' railway.
Operation Web 2.0 & a factory hit in Russia.
It's all ⬇️

Early this morning, just before the end of the previous thread I showed the Azot chemical plant in Tula region on fire.
Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦

This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
1/3
Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...
