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

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:

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.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

1/2
I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?
