#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.
#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.
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."
This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.
It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.
Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.
At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.
Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.
As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war
Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.
Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.
A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"
Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions
Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.
All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.
It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning
My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!
Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin
The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.
The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.
But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia
It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!
Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353
Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue
It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.
The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
