9 months ago today #Russia decided to break international law and condemn hundreds of thousands to death, disability and destruction

It's Day 274 of the invasion of #Ukraine, and here's Thursday's daily thread with all the news

Yesterday's news is here:
When the elite becomes diluted...

#Russia's crack airborne units couldn't defend the right bank of #Kherson - will they fare better in #Donbas where #Ukraine cannot target supply lines as easily.

Here's the UK Intel report for Thursday:
#StopRussia
Early, unconfirmed, reports of a strike by #Russia in #Kherson

A rocket landed in the courtyard of one of the high-rise buildings in the city, but no reports of injuries.

#StandWithUkraine
The attack in #Kherson is known to have killed at least one person.

#Russia's rockets hit a residential building in the northern Tavriiskyi district of the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
The daily total of #Russia's losses shows an increase of over 10% in a single day for the number of Cruise Missiles shot down.

"only" 310 of #Putin's soldiers killed in the last 24 hours.
#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
#Kyiv still does not have full power with many in the capital city and the wider region still without electricity.

Most of #Ukraine is back to the standard schedule of power outages and all the country's nuclear power plants will be back to normal by this evening says the govt.
#Russia watchers have long warned (ditto #China) about the country buying influence (or kompromat!) to be able to cash in later.

Is this another case and is @INTERPOL_HQ failing?
How can Russia get outrageous red notices issued yet those against blocked?

Some parents very unhappy in occupied #Sevastopol.

BEFORE #Russia's anti-LGBT+ law was passed, some schoolchildren were given this worksheet. It's entitled "Symbols of Tolerance"

The teacher may be sacked. There is zero tolerance under #Putin in the Terrorist State.
#Russia's new agencies report the illegitimate "president" of #Belarus, Lukashenko, demanding "Ukraine must stop the conflict, everything is now in its hands"

They're trying Uncle Sasha!
Just parts of #Zaporizhzhia, #Kherson #Donetsk to go plus 2 more regions to finish the job!
It's been revealed #Ukraine and #Russia had informal meetings in the #UAE last week according to Reuters

They discussed prisoner exchanges and the possibility of unblocking the export of Russian ammonia through a pipeline to Odessa.

The UAE was mediator, the UN was not involved
#RussiaOnFire

Another government building catches fire in #Russia.

This is in the northern #Arkhangelsk region.
The blaze broke out this morning in the local HQ in Laisky Dok.

The building was evacuated and no casualties reported.
Boris Johnson's been made an honorary citizen of #Kyiv

The #Ukraine capital's city council approved the decision today: Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko said
"@BorisJohnson has repeatedly visited - both in peace and in the most dramatic time of our struggle against the Russian aggressor."
Earlier today #RussiaOnFire of a different kind...

A shooter killed 3 people, then himself, on the streets of Krymsk in #Krasnodar, near the Slavyansky shopping mall.

Russian media report the 66 year old killer knew 2 of his victims.
A controversial decision taken in #Ukraine today, which I think just gives more fuel to #Russia's propagandists.

The Mayor of #Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, was fined for speaking in Russian during a TV address.

In February @ZelenskyyUa spoke Russian in a broadcast but wasn't fined!
Today both the upper house of #Ireland's parliament and the parliament of #Moldova officially recognised the #Holodomor of #Ukraine as genocide.

Stalin deliberately starved around 5m Ukrainians in the 1930s.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Another 50 prisoners on both sides were exchanged today.

There were 2 officers among those returning to #Ukraine. 19 of the liberated were defenders of #Mariupol, 12 of them surrendered at #Azovstal.

Another 7 soldiers were captured on the now famous Zmiiny or "Snake" Island.
Another collaborator is said to be seriously injured in #Zaporizhzhia region after #Ukraine's Resistance bombed his car.

Before the war Serhiy Kalashnyk was head of #Polohy council, then switched sides and RIA Melitopol reports that last night he paid the price.

#StopRussia
After banning "one love" armbands, #FIFA today permitted an African footballer to wear the flag of banned #Russia on his boots.

#Cameroon's Gael Ondua moved to Russia aged 9 and previously played for Anzhi Makhachkala. He said he "feels like a Cameroonian and a Russian"
I want to wish all my followers in the USA, and exiled Americans, a Happy Thanksgiving and say bon appétit for your big meal this evening.🇬🇧💙🇺🇸💛🇺🇦
4 people killed in #Kherson as #Russia shelled it once again this evening.

Another 10 have been injured in the recently liberated city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Some more photos from #Kherson, taken shortly after #Russia's missiles slammed into a residential building in the city a little earlier.

Four people died.
Now 7 people have been killed by #Russia's shelling of #Kherson with a further 21 suffering injuries.

The attacks continue...

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Also explosions tonight in #NovaKakhovka on the left bank of the #Dnipro.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

1/2
Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

A double tap attack & cluster munitions

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

1/2
The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
