Hello and welcome to the daily thread on the #RussiaUkraineWar today coming live from #Ukraine.

At the start of Day 287 I crossed the border and I'm still on the train as the snow gets heavier and thicker.

If anyone wants to buy me a coffee I'd be very appreciative. Dyakuyu!
A fairly quiet night in #Ukraine - but as always if you need to catch up on yesterday's news, it's all in one handy place. Here's the start of yesterday's thread:

Last night we saw enemy drones being shot down. The #Iran Shaheed "Kamikaze" UAVs returning in numbers to the skies over #Ukraine.

At least 8 were shot down, mainly in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

This one was destroyed in #Zhytomyr region having flown through #Kyiv

#StopRussia
Finally, one of the teams we helped with our fundraiser, has recorded a message for you guys, especially the major donators, some of whom are named in this video just received.

They're in #Zaporizhzhia oblast. Others are in #Bakhmut and making videos is not their #1 priority
One thing really struck me on this journey, especially in view of the abuse I've been given for writing #Ukraine place names first then #Russia's spelling second.
Probably over half the people on this train speaking Russian not Ukrainian, including Anna & Violetta at my table
Occupiers in #Donesk report 6 people died in yesterday's shelling of the city centre (see video)

Meanwhile in the region today 16 were killed in an accident between a military vehicle and a minibus. It happened between Torez and Shakhtyorsk. Not yet known how many were soldiers
Following on from the last tweet there's now a video from the scene of the accident which killed 16 in #Donetsk oblast (here's a screenshot)

There do seem to be a disproportionate number of accidents involving #Russia's military vehicles. Drunkenness?
Arrived at a snowy #Kyiv.
Bade farewell to new friends, the aforementioned Anna and Valentina

#WelcomeToUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Thanks @ATipplingPhilo for the tip for coffee and likely a Lviv Croissant too!

Link in my bio if you want to help me stay warm!💙💛
Criminal acts in this war take many different forms.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Sorry for hours offline. A gruelling day and not much chance to use wifi.

It's very humbling to walk or drive along streets I know well in #Kyiv, to randomly see a bomb site, charred office tower block for example.

One thing I've noticed is even the graffiti are patriotic!
One other thing, I knew the patriotism had been turned up to 11, but I think it's actually 15.

The music channel I usually have on in the background when working on the laptop used to have a decent mix of #Ukraine and western tunes.

Now ONLY 🇺🇦 and EVERY SONG is about the war.
Time to catch up on the real news now, and starting with a tragic development in liberated #Kherson.

Four policemen from #Cherkasy (RU: #Cherkassy) have been killed when their patrol car hit one of #Russia's landmines.

#HeroiamSlava
Nice thread here with a lot of satellite photos proving #Russia is moving (some of) its aircraft away from #Ryazan after the #Ukraine drone strike and the nadly damaged one has been removed.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A court in #Lviv has stripped the Mayor of #Chernihiv of the role. Vladyslav Atroshenko was also fined $185 after being found guilty of actions described as "a conflict of interests"

Many though agree with Atroshenko that it's politically motivated after clashes with Zelenskyy.
Incidentally I spent much of today at the @dovzhenkocentre in #Kyiv speaking with people fearful that the cultural centre, film archive and growing hipster hang-out is under attack from mysterious figures trying to close them down.

Photo from last month's protests.
#RussiaOnFire
Some more careless smokers no doubt, as yet another "gas explosion" occurred in the Terrorist State today.

This was the Targim shopping centre in #Nazran.
Four people were injured.
At least 10 people have died after shelling of the village of #Kurakhove in #Donetsk region

President Zelenskyy described it in his evening speech as a deliberate target on civilians. A market, bus station, petrol station and residential buildings were all hit

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.

This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.

It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Far right MPs?🇺🇦❌🇷🇺✅
Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.

You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.

This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.

Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛

On Saturday there were stories of #Ukraine sinking a ship in #Taganrog.

Now #Russia's independent BAZA reports a barge there was hit and the tugboat "Inzhener Smirnov"

Two crew members are reported injured.

It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.

This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.

All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
First though, your chance to look back on Thursday's news. If you missed anything, click + scroll here:
First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT

Day 824 of the war in Europe.
A new week, same old inhuman sh*t from #Russia.

Every single day my threads keep you up to date on all the important news about #Ukraine

As usual, let's start with the link to yesterday's thread, in case you missed anything.
#Russia tries to claim a "double tap" attack by #Ukraine has killed a fireman + injured 3 more.

The Governor of #Oryol says a drone hit a gas station in #Livna, a few minutes later another struck the same place

Do we really believe Ukraine suddenly started copying this🇷🇺tactic? Image
Congrats! We got @DrAnnaPirates out of Xitter jail. Welcome back and keep bonking!

For all the news on Day 814 keep clicking back here.

No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.

Missed any of it? Just click here and scroll through the day's news:

 #Ukraine has attacked yet another oil depot overnight.

Its drones returned to #Tuapse in the #Krasnodar region to strike the Rosneft plant.
One very good video of the large, long-range UAV making a hit.

Hello on Day 810 of the war in Europe.

#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.

All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..

#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.

#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.

And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:

I have to start today's news with all-time record numbers of losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours, according to #Ukraine's figures.

1,740 invaders eliminated on Sunday and for the first time, the projected date of reaching 500,000 victims is now before June. Image
