Smoke can be seen across the city of #Perm'

500 people have been evacuated from the power plant. Authorities are worried the fire will spread to other buildings. All the city's firefighters are attending.
And another chapter of #RussiaOnFire

The blaze at the shopping centre is reported to have started at the front of the mall and then spread to the roof. No casualties reported.
President Zelenskyy's spokesman responded to @vonderleyen's statement that over 100,000 #Ukraine soldiers have been killed in the war.

Serhiy Nikiforov says he doesn't know where she got the figure and only data from Ukraine's leaders can be trusted.

#RussiaOnFire AGAIN!

#Ukraine attack in #Bryansk?
Local officials report "an unidentified munition, dropped from a drone" hit a tank of diesel in the Surazh district. The explosion lit two more fuel tanks

#StopRussia
Amusingly, #China's state TV channel CGTV referred to the "#Bryansk People's Republic" in its' report on the fire!

Does Beijing know something we don't? Are they supporting an independence referendum?

The Tweet has since been deleted
Survival specialist @BearGrylls may find his new mission among his toughest!

He's just arrived in #Ukraine in sub zero temperatures and frequent power outages! Locals are joking they can teach him a thing or two on survival!

President @ZelenskyyUa takes a swipe at Elon Musk's ill-informed statements.

Zelenskyy says Twitter's owner is invited to see the damage done to #Ukraine by #Russia's forces so "he can understand the situation before making pronouncements about it."

#Germany's Bundestag has recognised #Holodomor as genocide of the the people of #Ukraine.
A lot of discussion today about how many of #Ukraine's troops have died in this war.
Ursula @vonderleyen was chided earlier for saying it was over 100,000 which the EU later said meant killed and injured.

Now Presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych says just over 10k have died.
A fair bit of shelling in Occupied #Donetsk this evening.

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

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!

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...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win
