One of my unsung heroes of the war is #Ukraine's legendary rock star @s_vakarchuk who's spent so much time criss-crossing the country giving free, unannounced performances to keep spirits high.
Here the @okeanelzy frontman turned up in #Kyiv's main railway station
#Russia's losses remain steady.
The deaths are for the previous day, and any of the various overnight strikes in #Melitopol, #Luhansk etc. won't be added to this total yet.
10 drones shot down yesterday, which is above average and which I wrote about previously.
A previously little known #Ukraine Resistance group in #Crimea has claimed responsibility for the early morning burning of one of #Russia's military barracks on the occupied peninsula.
Nice meeting famous #Ukraine political expert @drotyk in #Kyiv region. Amazing tales told of his time under occupation as #Russia's troops built trenches next to him; his house still bears the bullet scars.
And he has some harsh words about Ukraine's economy and government
Last night in central #Kyiv filming for the next documentary.
Inspecting the Russian equipment on view in one of the central squares. A permanent reminder of when #Ukraine lost control of part of the capital region, before winning the battle for Kyiv.
Even subways are being transformed from dingy, unwelcoming passages. Take a look at this local art under #Khreshchatyk - the main thoroughfare of #Ukraine's capital
Occupied #Donetsk is again smoking.
In recent days there have been many rockets hitting the city.
But 2 separate army sources told me these are grads, and while #Ukraine does use them on the front line, Donetsk city is NOT in range. They are 100% convinced #Russia does this
2/2
Multiple hits in occupied #Donetsk, the biggest in the market area.
No word yet on casualties.
Is #Russia killing those it pretends to protect and why?
#Ukraine sources say to encourage voluntary, then enforced, mobilisation
If Russia stops fighting and leaves, there is no war.
If Ukraine stops fighting, there is no Ukraine.
This video from yesterday in #Avdiivka near front line. #Russia has been trying to make ground around here for weeks, with little change to the status quo. But slowly more and more towns and villages become empty shells in more than one sense.
"It feels like a zombie apocalypse. Koroleva Street -not a single house (remains). Is this how (your) people live? Here it is - the 'Russian World' in all it's glory"
The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.
The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.
For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.
A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:
