Today is not only Quarter Finals day at the world cup for #England (I have my fingers crossed for no power cuts 9pm-midnight here in #Kyiv)..

It's also Day 290 of #Russia's full invasion and unprovoked attack on #Ukraine

Here's the link for Friday's news
Yesterday the #USA announced that #Russia and #Iran have made a deeper agreement.
Today the daily update from the #UK Defence Intelligence picks up on the matter:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The number of #Russia's soldiers remains quite high if you actually think about the waste, the grieving families. However the totals this week well down on the peak figures.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
I must say thank you to Judith for buying me a coffee, and indeed breakfast. I'll certainly be buying my coffee in #Borodianka or #Bucha today as I am heading there to film and speak to locals.

Busy schedule, will update when I can.
Here's a pics from yesterday in #Sumy oblast.
Thousands more are without electricity this morning in #Odesa after (RU #Odessa) a drone hit power infrastructure.

15 more of the #Iran made kamikaze UAVs were launched by #Russia on targets in the south of #Ukraine, but 10 were shot down.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
New photos from #Hostomel on the outskirts of #Kyiv. Many forgot about the horrors seen here too.

Some of the fiercest fighting took place here in the opening days of the war as battle for control of the airport here was crucial.

#StandWithUkraine
#Borodianka today.
They started pulling down the iconic, destroyed tower blocks.

#Kyiv #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#RussiaOnFire

I just heard that there's a blaze in #Moscow at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
Big shout-out to @DianeLBW and @intelSkunk for their support and generosity. Very much appreciated.

Now speaking to a well known economist who lives under occupation in #Kyiv.
Back in the apartment after a very wet and emotional day around #Kyiv region. No alcohol can be sold after 7pm under Martial Law, and I just beat the clock so I watch #ENGFRA with a beer from #Ukraine.

Was going to watch in a bar, but curfew 2 hours after kick-off ruined that.
Catching up with some of the news; first thanks to my favourite Vulcanologist @CarolynnePries1 who spotted this story about a fire in a barracks on #Crimea.

Many 100s of newly mobilised recruits were in the building in the village of #Sovetsky. Obviously, no comment from #Russia
Congratulations to #Ukraine's Centre for Civil Liberties, joint winners of the #NobelPeacePrize. They were rewarded at the official ceremony today.

@avalaina said "The Russian people will bear responsibility for this shameful page of their history."

Earlier I went to Mikhailivska Square and n #Kyiv for the obligatory look at the destroyed Russian equipment. It will feature in my investigation and report later this month.

#StandWithUkraine
Explosions heard over #Crimea.

#Russia's Head of the Occupied territory says air defence is working.

#StopRussia
Big fire in occupied #Melitopol tonight.

The is "Hunter's" restaurant near the centre. The up-market place is a favourite of the elite, especially traitor Balitskyi, #Russia's head of the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia, who celebrated Putin's birthday there.

#RussiansGoHome
Also in #Melitopol'...
Just the other side of the town centre to where the fire at "Hunter's" is, it seems #Ukraine has struck another Russian military base.

The Refma plant has been hit before and is still used by #Russia

#RussiansGoHome
#Ukraine seems to be pounding the occupied areas of its' country tonight.

This is the centre of #Donetsk after rockets landed

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It stinks!

Please let companies like @backaldrin know what you think of them and their blood money. Retweet, write and boycott.

The state of #Bakhmut

Before #Russia's "peacekeepers" entered, it was a peaceful, flourishing town in #Donetsk, proud to be #Ukraine.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reliable pro-#Ukraine Telegram channel RIA-Melitopol reports about 200 Russians were hit in this attack.

They're being transferred to hospitals in Crimea.

Yet another big strike on #Russia's forces in occupied territory tonight.

Many #Wagner mercenaries are reported dead after #HIMARS missile(s) smashed in to the Zhdanov hotel in #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov)

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Photo update on the strikes in occupied #Donetsk

The area around the planetarium and bus station was badly damaged.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?

Day 1541 of Russia's war on Ukraine - this is PART TWO of today's thread.

I'm restarting, and linking here to the 17 posts so far today (thread part one).
If I continued I would not able to see any replies.

I've now had confirmation of one fatality in Russia's attack on Kyiv.

The injury count is now up to 16.
This is a video from first responders, trying to rescue those trapped in a collapsed apartment building in the Darnytskyi district.
Air alerts are beginning to be lifted in more regions of Ukraine.
Among those is Khmelnytskyi, where there was a drone swarm on the military airbase. No damage is reported.

Hello again. It's the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1540 of Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour, which never threatened nor ever fired a shot at Russia, until after the original 2014 invasion.

All the big news in one place, every single day. It's what I do!
Tuesday saw a late flurry by Ukrainian drones in Russia, while earlier the Terrorist State was having problems with self-starting fires.

Loads of other interesting stories in a near 50-post thread - missed anything? Click and scroll now:

A big daytime drone attack on Ukraine is ongoing as I type.

Explosions have been heard in Kyiv - air defence shooting them down as far as I can tell so far. About 30 Russian drones are attacking the region and city.

Day 1530 of the war in Europe.
After almost going through the night, it's a late start for me today, but details are now in from another dramatic night.

More civilians murdered in Ukraine, more Russian drones in NATO territory and more Russian ships hit.

Lots to catch up on..
We fell well short of 15k views yesterday despite a very long thread.

We ended with late night drone waves by Ukraine, while earlier on Saturday Russia was hitting buses and trains in another big daytime attack as Putin gets increasingly desperate.

First, news about Ukraine claims of striking THREE boats overnight.

The most significant hit during the new attack on Novorossiysk is the hit on the Karakurt, which was specifically protecting the oil terminal there.

It had 8 Kalibr missiles + a Pantsir air defence onboard Image
