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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.
For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).
Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.
Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:
Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.
A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.
Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.
Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.
Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.
Here's Monday's daily🧵

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries
Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.
I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).
There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.
I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.
He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds.
Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.
Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
