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
Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.
I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.
But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.
It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.
🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.
#RussiansGOHOME
#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!
State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet.
Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.
Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.
So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.
We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin
Hello again and welcome to Sunday's thread on the first day of September. This is the 32nd month which has seen fighting since #Russia chose to invade its peaceful neighbour.
All the news from, and about #Ukraine in one place, updated throughout the day, every day. It's Day 921
Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.
The Kremlin says over 150 drones were shot down in the biggest Ukraine UAV attack of the war.
Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.
The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.
Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.
This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.
Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack
