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.

A very bright and warm good morning to you, on Day 1231 of Russia's war of choice

Putin's choice to invade a sovereign, peaceful neighbour, to ruin the economy, to send hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to die

Is the tide about to turn? Here's THE daily thread on Ukraine
Well 2 days ago I was optimistic, and today that optimism is borne out.

But first, let's backtrack to yesterday, and in among the forehands and backhands, I still managed to produce a good thread with a Pimms or two🎾

An awful lot of people criticised me (well, I picked up a lot of bots and Kremlin stooges too) for saying that the Donald would backtrack.

But I read the runes and I was correct. Trump has unequivocally promised more weapons for Ukraine.

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.

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.

If you missed any, just click and scroll:

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
