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

I think among Ukraine watchers there is a bit of positivity.

It's thread + Day 1229 of the full invasion of🇺🇦, ordered by a now indicted war criminal.

I'll tell you about my renewed optimism during today's 🧵so let's start the Sunday show..
As always (unless I forget!), here's the link to the start of the previous day's news round-up.
It was a 22 (yes, twenty-two) hour marathon.

So the least you can do is read it all 😂😇
.. or send me a KoFi💙💛

 I'll start with very recent news as there's been another big attack in daylight hours.

Shortly before 10am, Russian drones hit another military recruitment centre, this time in Kremenchuk.

Welcome along to Saturday's edition of my daily threads - the most reliable news source on Ukraine's defence throughout the entire Russian full invasion.

We've reached Day 1228. Every Single Day
Fact checked and analysis by a professional journalist with Ukraine expertise.
I've literally just finished Friday's thread, with an extraordinary flurry of late news from inside Russia rounding off another bumper thread, stretching to 60 posts.

 Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image
