Hello and welcome to my daily #RussiaUkraine news thread for Sunday, live from #Ukraine.

It's Day 291 of #Russia's illegal war, with all the important stuff in one handy🧵

Lots of action yesterday evening, to recap, click here:
* GRAPHIC VIDEO *
#Russia's forces in #Ukraine are spending the night counting bodies.

Numerous attacks on occupied areas over a few hours, probably in #Crimea, definitely in #Donetsk + #Luhansk and most devastatingly in #Zaporizhzhia.

The biggest strike was in #Melitopol:
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

#StopRussia
Short and sweet from the #UK Govt report today.

#Russia's revenues falling, yet defence (terrorism) spending climbs to an astonishing 30%

Which frankly shows how little #Putin cares for the lives of the people.

#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. Image
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.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine Image
Guys meet another hero defending #Ukraine.

@AlexiCharey is going to be more active on Twitter and will write in English too.

Soon Alexi will have photo exhibition in #Kyiv, but tomorrow he goes back to the army after a short spell home.

#SlavaUkraini #HeroiamSlava Image
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 ImageImageImage
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.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia ImageImageImageImage
Explosions hit occupied #HolaPrystan' this afternoon.

It's on the left bank, just a little south and down river from #Kherson city.

The whole area around here is under #Ukraine fire control. In my opinion #Russia will find it difficult to defend with dwindling supplies. ImageImage
Also in #Kherson region today, explosions heard in #Beryslav and #NovaKakhovka.

Kherson city itself has recently also been hit, and earlier today rockets hit the Koralbelny district:

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine ImageImage
Unconfirmed reports of #Ukraine hitting Russians in occupied #Berdyansk.

It's claimed UAF missiles hit the invaders while they were reloading air defence systems.

7 units of equipment and 30 rockets are said to have been destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Kyiv is amazing.

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

#StandWithUkraine
1/2

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

#SaveUkraine
Whether it is #Russia or #Ukraine firing on #Donetsk, the easy thing to remember is:

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.

#StopRussia
2/2
Rough translation of video:

"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"

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
This journey in #Ukraine comes to an end.
Here's Kyiv station this evening.

11 April 2024 - Day 778 of #Russia's war in Europe.

And Thursday's daily🧵 starts with another large scale missile attack on #Ukraine.

The air raid warning has just been switched off, but a lot of damage has been done as allies, especially the U.S. fail the Ukrainian people.

Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.

There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.

Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.

Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence

It's a bleak start to another daily thread.
Friday 22 March, Day 758 of #Rusia's full invasion, begins with an enormous attack on the power sector of the country it illegally invaded.

Large parts of #Ukraine have no power.
#USADelaysUkrainePays

This is the start of the daily🧵
24 hours ago, the day began with missile strikes on #Kyiv, attempting to hit #Ukraine's Intelligence and other key government institutions.

If you missed anything, catch up here with a look through Thursday's thread:

#Kharkiv #Khmelnytskyi #KryvyiRih #Kropyvnytskyi and #Zaporizhzhia have all been badly hit.

I'll start with shocking photos from an attack on the Snipro Hydro-Electric power plant in Zaporizhzhia

#Russia here hitting a bus with employees travelling across the dam.

All the news throughout the day, right here.
Please support my independent journalism (link in profile) with a coffee if you can💙💛
Thursday was another bumper thread.
Russia's western border resembled a civil war zone, Macron admitted he would likely have to send troops within a year and more Russian stuff collpasing.

Catch up by clicking and scrolling through yesterday's thread⬇️

Last night news came through of a drone hit in #Vinnytsia in central-western #Ukraine.

A second person died here and at least 3 more injured. Daylight reveals the full extent of the horror caused by #Russia.

Today we reach another small milestone in the gruesome, illegal and wholly unnecessary war launched by #Russia in #Ukraine.

It's Day 750 of the 3-day "operation" to capture #Kyiv.
Welcome to Thursday's daily thread with all the news you need in one place, updated all day long💪
And here's the chance to look back at yesterday's news. Wednesday saw more oil problems for #Russia, which took revenge by beating another political opponent and hitting #Ukraine tower blocks.
Plus ca change😡

I'll start by reminding you of the daily reality for almost all those living in #Ukraine. Virtually the whole country is under another air raid and has been since just before 8.30 local time.

Yet offices, shops, schools and life continues no matter how #Russia tries to stop it.

It's THE daily thread, the original and most reliable update on anything important happening in #Ukraine or to do with #Russia's abominable war on its neighbour.

I'll try get this correct today... It is Wednesday! It's 13 March and that makes it Day 749 of the invasion.
Read on!
For newcomers a few things:
I try to fact check all info.
I report fairly but fairness means justice for #Ukraine
I use 20+ years experience of working in/with🇺🇦 + sources in my reporting.
DMs open for stories.
I try to avoid the gore + gratuitous violence.
Link in bio for tips!
And I always try to remember to post a link to the start of the previous day's thread, so no matter where you are in the world, and no matter if Xitter tries to hide me, you can always find me and scroll through what you missed:
