It's Day 276 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine.
It's also Holodomor Memorial Day, commemorating those starved to death by Moscow's regime in the genocide of the 1930s.

This is the daily news thread with all the news, views and analysis on events around the illegal war...
Another fairly quiet night. Long range missile attacks by #Russia confined to outbursts every few days it seems, while artillery pounds the usual targets in southern and eastern #Ukraine

If you missed anything on Friday's news feed, scroll through here:

The #UK's daily update paints an increasingly desperate picture for #Russia.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A sharp increase in the number of #Russia's soldiers killed in battle in the last 24 hours.
Recent days have seen between 350 and 450, but today another 560 estimated dead according to #Ukraine, but little equipment destroyed.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Despite the rocket attacks, despite cuts to power and water, the people of #Kherson region are still relishing their hard-fought freedom.

Each day now the train from #Kyiv rumbles into the city and invariably someone in one of the villages comes to show support for #Ukraine!
The areas where #Russia's been suffering most losses have been #Donetsk and, until, liberation of the right bank, #Kherson

But now the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia is one big graveyard.

RU bases in both #Melitopol + #Vesele struck by #Ukraine with 180 injured, likely 100 dead
* WARNING * 18+ video

Temperatures below 0c in much of #Ukraine this morning, but power in #Kyiv restored after just 4-5 hours of heat & light in the previous 72 hours

Now imagine fighting in these conditions. Russians are often ill prepared and left to freeze. This nr #Bakhmut
This school in Occupied #Melitopol' was being repaired when war broke out; #Russia's goons stole building materials.

Now, with more newly mobilised Russians arriving they're turning the school into a barracks. To prevent attacks by resistance fences are erected, trees cut down
#Russia may kill #Belarus 'leader' Lukashenka and blame Ukraine.

That's a claim in this report citing "Russian military sources" with two objectives. Russia can take control of the Belarusian army and give the people a cast-iron reason to join the war.

#Ukraine by night. Startling photo taken from space by NASA.

The country's outline hardly needs marking, the lack of light during the power cuts does the job😥

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's Resistance in #Enerhodar is active!

Rumours abound that #Russia is preparing to leave the town and more importantly, the nuclear reactor.

"Enerhodar is Ukraine" says one popular poster seen on the streets, while yellow ribbons and markings are also visible.
#Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is in #Kyiv this morning.

He's already visited the #Holodomor memorial on #Maidan to pay tribute to the victim's of the genocide.

Poland has always been one of #Ukraine's strongest supporters.

#StandWithUkraine

In #Dnipro many victims reported as a missile hits a residential area.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

#Dnipro explosion

Not too much is known so far, but six people immediately known to be injured as #Russia's rocket hit a quiet area of the city.

#StopRussia
3/3

Another video from the scene in #Dnipro

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
It's now known that 3 missiles hit #Dnipro in today's attack by #Russia. Although no-one has died, one person is missing who was thought to be in a warehouse where rescuers are removing rubble.

13 people were injured, four hospitalised, two seriously injured.

#StopRussia
This is noteworthy after the story earlier about #Russia maybe planning to get rid of #Lukashenka

Today the Foreign Minister of #Belarus has "died suddenly"

Vladimir Makei was just 64. He was Head of Luka's illegitimate administration and FM since 2012.

I'm currently in #Germany and pleasantly surprised to see #Holodomor memorial day leading the @tagesschau news bulletin.

This week 6 more countries have recognised the man-made famine as genocide. Yet not the #UK - why is that @JamesCleverly and @RishiSunak?
Despite #Russia's best efforts to expel, kill or terrify the #Ukraine supporters in occupied #Crimea, there is still a Resistance movement, even in #Simferopol, the most Russified city.

Yellow ribbons are still found for a short while until authorities seize or paint over them.
This made me laugh! #Ukraine has not invaded #Russia...

But many locals in #Tver, 100 miles north-west of #Moscow, were in shock and frightened to see a column of military vehicles emblazoned with Ukraine flags

Sadly, they were just a filming.

A mother weeps uncontrollably as her new born baby is laid to rest after becoming another of #Russia's victims.

Little Serhiy died just two days after his birth when the Terrorist State bombed the maternity ward of the hospital in #Vilniansk near #Zaporizhzhia.

#StopRussia
Another heart breaking tale & war crimes in #Kherson region

26yo Serhiy's father stopped answering his calls on 10 Nov. After liberation he went to Lviv Otruby.

His dad and his adoptive mum were eventually found in shallow graves, on top of each other, shot at close range.

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.

Hello at the start of another weekend, Day 1151 of the war in Europe.

Day by day the US paves the way for capitulation.
Trump may pretend there was no war in his first term, but his administration said it would never recognise Crimea.

This is THE daily thread for Saturday.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Visibility is still low - 15k views.

Plenty to get your teeth into.. 100 fleeing Russian refuseniks, tRUmp on the verge of failure, and of course the attacks on Ukraine.
Catch up here:

With even tRUmp slowly realising he's been played by Putin all along with no intent on peace, Russia has upped the aerial attack on its next targets for invasion.

Sumy, Kostiantynivka + Kupiansk feel the full force.
In the latter 10 glide bombs in one day with 5 people injured. Image

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
